Writing meme

[unfeathered]

Seen absolutely everywhere on my flist:

What would you say are the trademarks of my writing? What themes or quirks or turns of phrase have you noticed? What is it that makes a story by me -- well, a story by me?

This is going to be interesting... :-)

It's messy, that's my reason. I don't like mess.

Messy and sticky and *AGAIN!* penetration in a sexual way with something not attached to the person doing the penetrator. Or it's just a gross messy barrier.

I have a feeling that's a lot to do with it for me too. It's like my thoughts on spanking being too loud: I can't write that either because my logic says everything stops when there's a loud noise :D

Twack! Screech! Flail!

Kinda cuts into the mood, sometimes.

It *really* does and *that* (the cutting into the mood) is definitely why sex toys don't really work for me either (reading or writing) unless -& Master Plan's a good one for this - it is 'action off screen' as it were.

There's also issues with repetitive action - a lot of sex toys and many kinks require that kind of thing. You get jarred out of the action and the character because it goes on and on and you have to *Really* watch the pacing and just. Yeah. Fix your POV and it's less an issue, but. IT's still difficult to do well.

And sex toys *Definitely* can cut into the intimacy of the POV.
