Hi, that is my DNW, and, contrary to what others are saying, I do in fact know that "pastiche" in this context means an imitation of the source's style. I simply don't like it, same as I don't like epistolary format or fan poetry, or others do 't like second-person POV. However, I know that it is very popular, particularly in lit-based fandoms. As two of my requests are for book fandoms, I thought it best to be upfront about this dislike.

Since this is a workshopping thread, any suggestions on improving my phrasing so that I can avoid confusion (let alone accusations of not knowing what basic literary terms mean) would be great.
