🎈 🎀 for the ask game?
fic writer asks
🎈 describe your style as a writer; is it fixed? does it change?
i think my style is relatively fixed! i do play with it a bit depending on what mood i'm going for, but i tend towards a bit of a flowery style. i don't think it's quite purple prose (and i've actually been taking steps to make it more efficient lately, for several reasons) but i have a tendency towards similes, metaphors, long internal monologues, description-heavy prose, and just in general something that's a bit more dense in nature. i'm ... honestly a bit self-conscious about it sometimes and am not sure how easy it is to read, so i've been cutting more and more of my particularly flowery bits lately. less is more and all that 😅
🎀 give yourself a compliment about your own writing
after i just disparaged my writing style in the previous paragraph haha 😅 i'm more inclined to be critical towards myself than complimentary, but i do think i do a good job of portraying complicated emotions! i like messy things, and i like imperfect endings, and i like relationships that push and pull together and apart again, and i love love love narratives where people choose to stay together and to love one another even when it's hard and even when they fight and even when the world is working against them, and i like to think i do a good job of writing these narratives.
