Writing Style: Expectations & Fic Updates

I stole this from meridian_rose . It looked really fun/interesting.

If I made Cinderella, the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach.

When I write a story, what do readers immediately look for?

So, tell me, what you do expect from my work? What makes it recognizable as mine stylistically? What makes it recognizable

You've got a definite style. I think I said before, that it was getting to the point where, at Legendland, I could spot your entries despite the anonymity because it's so recognisable.

Why it's recognisable is harder to say. It's a matter of construction; lots of shorter paragraphs, lots of one line 'declarations' from or about a character and the current situation.

It's also about the overall approach. There are lots of both overt and subtle references and allusions to archetypes, mythologies, poetry. There's always something beneath the surface text. I always expect and usually see symbolism in your work, especially the longer pieces.
