+ 1 It would be my nightmare to be named as recognizable for this reason. If I have a “voice” that carries across fandoms then I’m doing something wrong as an author who always tries to match character voice/canon tone.

My favorite thing is when someone accidentally stumbles across one of my fics during the anon period and then when I reply during reveals they're like OMG ITS YOU. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BECAUSE IT WAS SO IN CHARACTER/THE PLOT WAS GREAT! I’m not a BNF but I think I have a reputation for popping up in fandoms you never knew I was into and writing *the* definitive fic for those who do have an overlap in random fandoms with me, and I couldn’t ask for more.

I'm aiming for having a distinct writing style, so it would be a compliment to me. I also don't think "in character" and "author's own style" are mutually exclusive. I want to write dialogue in character, but I want the narration and structure to be recognizably me.

Anonfail so we can judge the accuracy of that claim

AYRT

What claim? I said that I want to and aiming for having a distinct style and if someone said it about me, it would be a huge compliment. I at no point claimed that I'm successful in my endeavours. I mean, obviously I hope I am, but I don't have AIRT's inflated confidence in my own skills.

Holy shit, do your farts also smell like jasmine?

Haha! There might be such a thing as too much self-confidence!

As someone who is mostly into very small fandoms, you are my least favorite sort of person. Talk about arrogant and annoying.

It’s funny because there’s a particular self-important writer this made me think of and their style is very recognizable.

+1 This made me think of a writer in my tiny fandom.
