Jan. 25th, 2006 01:34 pmThe Ten Ways to Tell You're Reading a Fic By Me meme:
1: There is little to no plot. On the rare occasions that plot occurs, it has holes in it the size of a spaceship. (A Firefly-class transport, to be exact.)
2: It's probably a one-shot. If it has chapters, they get progressively worse in quality.
3: It probably focuses around two people finding each other/trying to make a life together despite obstacles caused by their personalities/pasts/environments.
4: It ends hopefully, but not necessarily happily, and does not always resolve everything.
5: There are bizarre metaphors or combinations of words that may not make literal sense, just because they worked to create whatever atmosphere/emotion I was going for.
6: It has soppy romance in it.
7: It's sitting unfinished on my computer. (In which case, you aren't reading it, and therefore this is not a relevant answer.)
8: The POV is generally third person limited, and if it's a multi-chapter fic the POV will change from chapter to chapter.
9: British spellings. Colour and favourite and all that jazz.
10: Action scenes are described as briefly as possible and sex scenes are non-existent, because I can write neither.
