Ten Ways You Know You're Reading My Fic:

1) Commas! Commas! Commas for everyone!

2) Emotional exposition like whoa, so much so that a character will ask a question and you'll have forgotten what it was by the time the other character answers.

3) Sleeping together in the literal sense. I have a weird thing for characters sleeping.

4) Humour in dialogue. Almost all my stories have at least one character who's a smartass. Often it's Chloe.

5) Fetishized domesticity. I pretend to hate domestic!fic but my characters always seem to end up living together.

6) Blowjobs. Yeah, I don't know why either.

7) Characters hating themselves instead of others. Even if he's the one who was wronged, my protagonist is far more likely to sit around blaming himself than the guy who hurt him.

8) Third person point-of-view, sticking with one character for at least the entire scene if not the entire fic. I hate jumping bodies in the middle of a segment.

9) Either no plot at all or far too much plot.

10) A character does something really really dorky and stupid. It's my signature Mary Sue moment.

This is my favorite one. I usually enjoy the dorky moments. *g*

Everyone needs lots of commas! *nods* Commas are the best! :)

And I like number 10! Yay!

Commas *are* the best! They're all curvy and sexy and petite, and you think you can just slip them in, and no one will notice, and next thing you know, they *breed* and have little comma babies, and, suddenly, you're typing like you have, for example, asthma, and can't possibly complete, more than three words, without, stopping, for, breath.
