so i need to keep up with these memes, man. I STILL HAVEN'T FINISHED THE OTHER ONE GAH.

What would you say are the trademarks of my writing? What themes or quirks or turns of phrase have you noticed? What is it that makes a story by me -- well, a story by me?

AND

Certain characters of mine have been dosed with a potion that makes them tell only the truth.. Ask them any question that you want, and he or she will answer truthfully!

	You have a really unique sort of voice in your writing. And you're never shy about embarrassing your characters or getting them into trouble. It's probably one of my favorite things about playing with you. Tyler wants to know what Mark thinks is most attractive about him. (Tyler has a really big ego, sorry.) (Reply to this)(Thread)

Off the record? His confidence. I know, I know, it's annoying as fuck, and damned I if I don't feel like punching his face in every time he starts going off on shit but there you go. He knows what he wants and he knows he can get it and as much as that makes me want to kick him, I kind of want to kiss him at the same time and yeah, I don't know, fuck you for making me think this much about him.

YEAH I AM EAGERLY AWAITING THE REPLY TO THE OTHER ONE DD:

Your writing is the hardest for me to describe. You're just Lena, and your writing is your own, and I can always tell if you're playing someone that you haven't told me about. I think it's because I've known you ALMOST A YEAR HOMG.

Also...hmm. HMM.. Oh fine I give up

ROB: What would you do if you learned John had gotten married and was never coming back to the Springs?

	I'd say HA. HA. very funny, now where's the cameras. Because, dude, I wasn't even invited to the wedding? Who else would be best man? Yeah, obvious lie right there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah. Sorry I didn't invite you to the wedding, by the way. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Oh man, I think Ama hit the nail on the head. You aren't afraid of doing things to your characters that others might be nervous or unwilling to try. Jude: If you could change anything about Sebastian, what would you change? TP: Are you or will you feel threatened by Roswel's importance to Skip? Annoyed? Apathetic? Piers: Do you think Edward will ever settle with you? (Reply to this)(Thread)

Jude: I kind of wish he'd be a little more open with me. I feel like I have to pry all the time, and it's kind of unsettling. I don't know, I mean I figure he's got his reasons, and, hell, it's not like we're married. But still.

TP: Should I be? He's Skip's Guy Friday way before I was.. whatever I am now. If I'm anything. I'm pretty sure I'm something. I got a few coins and a button thing, so I'm pretty sure. Besides I like Roswel. We're going to write a song together, you know.

Piers: No. I think if he could, he would have already. That's fine, though. He doesn't have to settle with me, just as long as he's with me.

I like how your prose still feels like it's being narrated by the character you're writing. It's not just plain old third-person narrative, you feel like the character is sort of describing what's going on. You take into account their emotions and anxieties and that's reflected in the way you portray the events that happen to them. Does that make sense? My brain doesn't work all that well lately.

Neil: What exactly is it about Dot that makes you keep coming back? Also, will you ever tell her what your name really is?

It totally makes sense and thank you!

Neil: She's sassy. She challenges me where no other has thought to or succeeded in. She's not boring and actually keeps me on my toes and I can't even tell you how refreshing that is, especially here in Stars-Fucking-Hollow. Also-- have you seen her?

And no. If I had my way? And I usually do, she'll never find out. I like her sass, but that doesn't mean I have to fuel it, you know?

	YOUR WRITING MAKES ME WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABIES. i love your boys, theyre so so lovable. i just want to gather them up in a blanket and feed them soup. questions: Alex: What is your honest opinion of Chanta? Luke: Why do you think Viollca cares about you so much? Do you trust what he says? Art: Will you still like Nesia when she's not a challenge anymore? (Reply to this)(Thread)

YOU ALWAYS GIVE ME HARD ONES LOL ♥

Alex: Well, fuck, your guess is as good as mine. I mean I still don't completely trust the guy--wasn't born yesterday, thanks--but I don't know... He's either some crazy psychic spy or something, or he's actually telling the truth. And, fuck, I think I'd prefer the crazy psychic spy.

Luke: It's hard not to trust Viollca. When he speaks to you, it's like those words were only meant for your ears. Like you're the only other person in the world that can ever hold his attention. And.. and maybe that's true, but I find it hard to believe. I can't imagine why he would bother. But sometimes.. sometimes I think he just wants to fix me. And I wonder what might happen if there's nothing for him to fix.

Art: What, you mean she's a challenge? KIDDING, just kidding. Honestly though I'm not into her for the chase or something, you know? Sure it's kind of cool, trying to see if maybe I can melt Ice Queen's heart (and I mean that with affection). But man, there's like so much more to her than that. You've seen her right? I mean am I right? And dude she probably knows like seven thousand different ways to kill me with a nail file and that's just awesome right there.
