On Style and Preferences
Jul. 15th, 2002 10:38 pmI was looking over the first half of my latest Bebop fic, getting the feeling for where I left off, when a thought came to me.
Damn, my writing's sparse.
Even my old, fluffed out fics never has much as far as descriptions or scene settings.
Now, I'm not going to say that makes my writing bad. (Those reasons are completely different. ^_~) However, it did get me to wondering about style differences, how people write and the kinds of fics and stories they preferred to read...
If you write long, drawn out scenes, chock full of ambiance and flavor, do you feel cheated that other people don't put that much detail into their stories as well?
Do people who write quick descriptions enjoy other fics with the same style?
Does one not have anything to do with the other, or could there be a connection? Like spawning like, I guess.
Does it really not matter, and what you do and what you like are all unique so asking is really rather pointless anyway?
Personally, I'm betting it's the last one.
