This meme strikes me as a little weird, as I'm not quite sure how to characterise my work. A few people worked out which ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
multiverse2004 story I wrote, but as far as I know that's the only one that people have actually guessed was written by me. OTOH, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
athena25 swears that I have a recogniseable 'style', even if it just consists of poor grammar and pretentious use of quotations. Hmmmm. *thinks*
No idea, in other words.
Good. Wonderful. Fabulous. I need more tea.

Gacked from everyone:
Top Ten Signs You're Reading akangeiko Fic:
10. There. Are. Sentence. Fragments. Everywhere.
9. The title is either one word, usually a noun, or a quotation, or in another language. Author's notes are required to make head or tail or it.
8. There will be fairy tale references, or mythological references, or classical literature references. The author's pop culture IQ is very low.
7. No actual sex will take place in the story. If it does, it's Allegory, Metaphor and Significant.
6. No happy endings. Ever.
5. What is this thing you call 'plot'? No, it is all introspective, character-revealing vignettes, or alternative takes on episodes or scenes. Occasionally, it's done in the first-person, in the present tense, and would probably be done in crayon ifkangeiko thought she could get away with it.
4. It will have the words: "betaed byathena25 somewhere in the header, despite athena25 not having even heard of the fandom ten minutes before a hard-copy of the fic was plopped down in her lap.
3. There will be parentheses. And semi colons. And all the commaskangeiko can sneak past the hawk-eyed gaze of athena25.
2. There is slash. Even if there isn't.
1. The two protagonists will usually hate each other 'til the end of the world. Or love each other 'til the end of time. Or both. This is Good and Normal (tm).
