because I am a memesheep...
Here's a meme that most writers on my flist appear to have done. :p Not sure I can think of ten things that I consistently do, but eh.
You know you're reading a fic by Rynne when...
1. There are dashes all over the place. ALL OVER THE PLACE. And lots of commas and semi-colons.
2. The sentences are long and convoluted. Unless it's been betad and my beta told me to chop them up. :p
3. People think. A lot. Hopefully not boring thinking, but...lots of introspection.
4. Description all over the place, settings and emotions and the whole shebang. I love imagery.
5. If there's sex, it's vanilla, and it's between people who have an emotional connection of some sort. Most often it's love, or will develop into love. Only in the two fics I've written that have consent issues is it something other than (healthy) love.
6. Sentences often begin with conjunctions.
7. Third person omniscient? What's that? I do third limited past, some third limited present, some first past, rare first present and rare second past/present, but I can't do third omniscient at all; when I'm in someone's head, I'm in that person's head.
8. People sigh. A lot. Their eyes also widen, narrow, open, and close a lot.
Eh. Can't think of anything else, though if someone else can, you're welcome to mention it in comments.
Also, I posted two fics last night, and neither of them have any comments so far. *sigh* I realize my flist (or rather, my f-of list) is more HP than SW (and I promise, there will be more HP soon!), but it wouldn't be so depressing if at least one person commented...
