They just foresaw the creation of the Pervstache Brand.  You know its true. :-P

I'd like to imagine what kind of process of analysis would come to the conclusion, "This woman needs a great, pervy mustache! She writes like James Joyce!"

My slash works got me the Joyce flag.  Go figure.

Well, it seems that 'The Enemy Inside' has me writing a lot like James Fenimore Cooper. This got me to joking about Nathaniel must be Daniel Day Lewis in 'The Last of the Mohicans'.

This is truth. And there's this because everyone should be fairly (and awesomely) warned.

Huh. I got Dan Brown then JK Rowling. So technically I should be the richest mothaf**ka in the universe.



Funnily enough, I got Dan Brown for a bit of light morning fluff between Neria and Anders, and got JK Rowling for Alistair self-hatred and sex . Go figure.

I got Stephen King for Alistair self-hatred and sex. [understatement]That seems far more appropriate than JK Rowling[/understatement].

I got Stephen King for Worlds Apart.  *shrugs*  If you say so, analyzer...

See, although I quite enjoy reading JK Rowling (I am a hopeless Harry Potter fan) and find Dan Brown engaging (I KNOW, I'm a sucker for trashy!) I so would have preferred to get... oh, I don't know, Douglas Adams? Or Terry Pratchett!! I wonder if they have Terry in the database? If I got Terry Pratchett I would quit work forever and do nothing but write. *sigh*

Apparently, based on my first three postings I write like James Fenimore Cooper, James Joyce, and Dan Brown. I'm finding it a little hard to imagine how one could write like both James Joyce and Dan Brown without being seriously schizophrenic. Perhaps I should seek therapy.

So I have a 36-chapter Naruto story that I finished way back in March and haven't written anything for that fandom since April Fool's Day but someone decided to review every single chapter in hopes I would change my mind and so instead of writing a DA oneshot like I'd planned I ended up doing a Naruto one.

Stupid persuasive mass-reviewers. I can't let myself get sucked back into that fandom no matter how much more they review than the DA one.

That analysis thing gave me Rowling, Joyce, and King... I think it's broken.



So, is there anything you guys really like seeing in a review? I've had a particular reviewer today leave me some comments that have me waving my writer's wang around madly. They involved the word "lyrical" and an admission of tears. Is it bad that whenever someone tells me my writing made them cry I get a stiffy over it? (I don't mean that literally, just--it pleases me way too much)

I like making people cry too.  

I think my favorite reviews are the ones where people tell me that they get immersed in the emotion I'm writing - that they hate a character, or are mad on behalf of another or something like that.  My all-time favorite review was when someone said that reading my playthrough fic was like playing Origins the first time.    I smiled over that one for hours.

I like when people get involved with the characters that I'm writing and care about them - makes me feel like I'm doing my "job" - whether it's liking or hating a character because then there's a "realism" about them and they have life, rather than just being some words on a page.

I have one reviewer who I would honestly marry if I could, and not only because she (I'm assuming she's female) really loves my story. She notices small details that I assume nobody except for me will care about and I feel like she very sincerely understands what I'm trying to do. She's even corrected a couple of grammatical things and offered constructive criticism and that really works for me, too.

I've switched fandoms a few times in the years I've been doing fanfics (God, that makes me sound old ) and when I get a review from one I've left asking me to come back it's nice to see. I also write mostly one-shots so reviews that tell me that they've read a lot of them and liked them are good. Oh, and if it's a long multi-chapter story that someone says they've read multiple times or hearing that I'm one of their favorite authors.

I write mostly humor things so I don't really get crying reactions but I'm good with that. Since I don't have much experience writing the emotional things (dialogue takes less time) it's good to see someone telling me that I didn't manage to screw it up.

  No I wouldn't say its wrong for you to take enjoyment in other peoples enjoyment of you're work, if you put time into creating something and people appreciate it, then theres nothing wrong in feeling a bit of pride or joy, or even both at the sametime.

One of the authors who publishes on here wrote a one-shot that had me in tears. I sent her a message and told her the effect the story had on me. In an odd way, it had something to do with something I was going through. I thought that as author she deserved to know that the story affected me in this way, even if it was not happy tears. The very fact it moved me to tears in the first place shows what an excellent writer this person is. I would have been more worried had it NOT affected me.

And I love it if someone takes the time to review, full stop. The one that really put a smile on my face was the person who favourited my story then summarised it on their profile on a list of favourited stories. Their summary was much better than the one I wrote!

I got David Foster Wallace and JK Rowling, and then James Fenimore Cooper ...

When I was getting my BFA I was told my artistic style was best described as "schizophrenic," so I'm actually not too suprised that three seperate cuttings from one single chapter would have such different results. I'm not sure how happy I am to hear JK Rowling, though...

I was beginning to think it was a total hoax and completely random...but I submitted a few more things and got Joyce three more times out of four...maybe it's the kind of angsty, stream of consciousness first-person narrator? There's obviously a fairly short list of writers you can be compared to.
