Yep, the latter! I guess the fact I didn’t even think of clarifying shows how used I am to Tumblr-style ask memes!
7) What do you think are the characteristics of your personal writing style? Would others agree?
I try to focus on sensory immersion and emotional entanglements. Also, I write a bunch about food and sex. I think others would agree. :P
8) Is what you like to write the same as what you like to read?
Mostly, yes? One of the reasons I write is because I love a particular scenario or idea but can’t read it (yet). There is a variety of stuff I read but don’t write because a) my imagination doesn’t work that way, or b) I might enjoy a particular take on a character, but struggle with writing it myself. And very rarely, I write things that I don’t actively seek out to read because I am very particular with my headcanons or character dynamics.
20) Tell us the meta about your writing that you really want to ramble to people about (symbolism you’ve included, character or relationship development that you love, hidden references, callbacks or clues for future scenes?)
I am cheating and C&Ping my answer from Tumblr because I’ve already answered it there!
OH MY GOD this is one of my favorite things about writing longer stories because it just gives me so much more room to go hog wild with references and to develop particular themes!!! Like with Danse Does Vegas, I want to point out that the Winchester mystery house and the eternal light bulb are both real locations in California, and the Atari burial site is a real thing but I was originally thinking about the rapid obsolescence of technology and how an item as simple as paper or books can be read centuries after they are printed, but digital media is impossible to access unless you have the appropriate technology to read them. Also how synths are theoretically immortal at first glance (barring injury) but also hey what about if/when their parts start breaking down???
Oh, and the Donut Dunkers Club is also real. As is the Las Vegas Pinball Hall of Fame.
(asdfsgs if anyone wants to ask this question about a particular fic, feel free. I’m still just gushing over Danse Does Vegas because it’s my most recent longfic.)
