Modified Writing Meme/Survey Thing
12 years ago
Scribbling nonsense all across the board like jaguars leaping from trees of leather bodices encasing aged withered corpses whose eyes dazzle with the light of one million and three silver satellites flying over Los Angeles hiding illegal immigrants from Irish potato farms built atop the golden ruins of El Dorado filled with demonic Ewoks hurling tremendous tankards of tons of Tylenol at the panda bear ninjas that hide around every corner of the magic square building trying desperately to pull up its skirt and set roots on another cubic square inch of the board upon which I am scribbling nonsense.
Well, I guess I'm not really expecting much response to this, but I saw journals like this circulating around a while back and I always wanted to do one, but at the time I had the problem of A) not being an artist and B) not having enough material in my gallery for anyone to really have any opinions of me. So, to any of my readers who have the time to comment, I would please ask that you take a moment to give your opinions regarding my writing/stories.
The original meme had defined questions, but instead of setting a rigid structure required I'm making it more free-form and instead just giving a few suggestions (and modifying the wording slightly):
What subject matter(s) do you like in my writing?
What aspect(s) of my writing style do you like most/least?
What would you like to see more/less of?
What do you like about my characters?
What do I need to improve on?

What do I need to improve on?
I do enjoy the stories where characters converse and interact with each other, even with some fattening and teasing shenanigans. You are very descriptive and build the scenes very vividly.
What aspect(s) of my writing style do you like most/least?
Most, the descriptiveness. As mentioned above you describe the scenes and actions very well and can easily picture them in my head. As for what I like least... I really don't know ;n;
What would you like to see more/less of?
I would be happy to see more of the same really. Different stories to keep us interested, always good. Sort of like one of those "If it's not broken don't fix it" type things.
What do you like about my characters?
I do enjoy how different they are to one another, as well as how they interact among themselves. It's very interesting to me, as well as how they speak, picturing their voices.
What do I need to improve on?
I... really cannot suggest anything, not being a reasonable writer. I cannot really give you any criticisms or suggestions, sadly. Makes me feel I didn't help much in this survey D:
My tired mind fails me, now; I must sleep. I'll probably be back sometime later, probably midnight, when I'm off work and more lucid.
Butcher and Value of Flesh have been outdated for quite a long time; with the former I didn't like a lot of the things I did with the tone and setting for how it set up the series so I'm going to be reworking everything I've done on it so far (which isn't much), and with the latter I didn't really know where to go with the way I started it and there were many inconsistencies and moments of questionable logic so I just scrapped it. I did like the general concept for the Aureans a lot though and I still wanted to try to do something with them - I've actually already thought of a new story with what I feel is a much better setting, it's mostly just a matter of finding a way to manage myself to get out all of the cluttered ideas I have. Maybe I should try doing a snippet with them...

I have peeps at home who say that I write good but idk so since you are the professional writer that writes stuff like the stuff I linked to, I would like some pointers and maybe some help.
Btw love your work, it's the best, just wish there were more female oriented works. Still good tho.

^^^^^I need some pointers and help on my writing, demo here^^^^^
I'm really not sure why you'd post here of all places for that, but to keep things more relevant to this journal, what exactly makes you say that? I know I've done herm stuff with greater frequency, but I think the majority of my uploads are still on female characters.
Your work is still admirable and desirable to reach the skill and level you have achieved to say the least. But I kinda find alot of male orientated works or not enough of it on the current internet to date. You still do works like that and I have no place to be ordering anything from you (Because I'm currently broke and have no money to speak of.) I think we need more female orientated works.
Love your work.
Thank you if you are reading this and I will go to the other place to talk somemore.
Love,

(Sorry if this sounds rude or mean in any way... I Mean this sincerely, I do love all of your works [except eldritch cuz im not really a fan of that but it was well drawn and made very well] and I hope to get help from you with you reviewing my work.)
