For the ask game, can you answer #’s 3, 14 & 27?☺️

Yay! Thank you for stopping by! 🥰

3. How would you describe your writing style?

Oof, that is difficult.... I tend to be as "simple" as possible in my writing. Even when I focus on "painting a picture" with imagery, I most stick with vague, sweeping descriptions, to capture the feeling of the aesthetics (I guess???). I also tend to write "trains of thought," just somewhat more reined in than how my own trains of thought tend to be lmao. Whenever I try to get into a character's head, I try to write down their "inner voice" in a humorous, would-be relatable fashion (hence why 99% of my smut is part Humor; it's waaaaay easier to have the character inwardly rant about their horniness rather than make it sensual or angsty)

I suppose, when you get down to it, I try to emulate the "less is more" style. I don't generally give provide many background details, preferring to focus on characters' chemistry with each other. (Or at least, I try????)

14. Write and share the first sentence of a new fic. Just that.

Lol Imma cheat and put the first lines of several of my unpublished WIPs because after posting FOUR of them at long last in August, I'm feeling a bit better about them:

Ouran High School Host Club Coffee Shop!AU: "Tamaki Suoh had a keen eye for spotting beauties. Be they of the male or female sex, it mattered not, for to him all beauty was equal and must be admired and loved by all. But especially by him, of course."

Inuyasha Soulmate!AU: "'Kagome, I think I love you.' Kagome blinked at her childhood friend. Then, she frowned. 'Did you really think that was going to work?'"

Harry Potter Soulmate!AU: "When she was in kindergarten, during a lesson on colors, Hermione Granger, a normally model student and adorably pretentious studious child, stoutly denied seeing any difference between the colors 'green' and 'gray.' 'They look the same!' she kept insisting to her baffled teacher."

27. Do you agree that one shouldn't start a story with a piece of dialogue?

Not in the least. I never understood this criticism. It depends on the line of dialogue in question, I imagine, because yes, certain openings ring of "juvenile style" more than others, but that is regardless of dialogue being present in the first few lines. Dialogue can work just as well as a "hook" as any other, and often can set up what kind of characterization to expect. I've read a plethora of fic that were poorly written that did not begin with dialogue, and I've read plenty of fic that are perfectly well-written that begins with dialogue! It's an incredibly arbitrary nitpick. At least disliking certain tropes/cliches makes sense: that can affect the tone of the story and if it's not your cup of tea, that's totally fine. But beginning a story with dialogue???? I don't get the issue here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Besides, one of my favorite novels of all time opens with four lines of dialogue and it's literally considered A Classic:

" 'Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents,' grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.

'It's so dreadful to be poor!' sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress.

'I don’t think it’s fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and other girls get nothing at all,' added little Amy, with an injured sniff.

'We’ve got Father and Mother and each other,' said Beth contentedly from her corner. "

-- Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott
