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... :-)

Between you and me? I almost like fingers more than actual dick in whatever sex. There's something *really* intimate about it that gets to me. Go figure.

and yeah, that kind of thing I think is exactly what I was talking about, and gagging definitely depends. They also scare me, to be frank. I'm the real world BDSM girl. Gags come with dangers and I spend so much time wigging at that that I can't quite get past it.

Yeah, fingers are good because they're more... precise, I suppose.

The other thing about gags - for writing, anyway - is you then cut off a lot of the ways a character can express themselves - not just not being able to speak, but you can't see all their face either.

Yep. Depends on the gag - again - a lot of them are more suggestive than actually restrictive, very few of them cut off sound, but. Just. No. It's such a real life hard line for me that I can't quite even cross it in fiction, unless I intend it to go really wrong.
