Re: DNW Workshop

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't looked at the letter, but I think I would be very confused by this DNW. My normal writing style is fairly close to the style of many of the kinds of books I offer to write for, and trying to keep the characters in-character and the setting recognizable usually means I end up leaning even more into the style of whatever canon I'm writing. How will the characters even sound like themselves if I write them in some other style?

I think you may need to be more specific about what you don't like about pastiche, or what specific narrative style you're looking to avoid, because to me this DNW feels a bit like "DNW fic that resembles the canon." For a book fandom especially, the writing style can be a big part of what the canon *is.*

I would have the same difficulty.

I think being more specific about what you don't want in terms of canon style would be helpful. For instance, if it's Locked Tomb, maybe "I want fic written in third person POV and no memes or similar jokes," or if it's Lord of the Rings, "I want fic written in a contemporary style, not in omniscient POV, and no lengthy descriptions."
