So very tired, and trying to pay attention and figure out what I need to do at work, so:

You post a topic, list, category, whatever, in my comments section. (examples: "5 favorite episodes of (some show you know I watch)" or "Top 5 BPAL scents" or even "5 best snacks ever") Then in a separate post (or not) I'll reply to the comment and post the answers to all your Top 5 ideas, according to me. Then you post this offer in your own journal. Or not.

Although I haven't actually posted any requests for anyone else.

And two, stolen from sophia_helix:

01. Do I have a distinct style of writing?
02. If so, what exactly is it that defines my style?
03. Would you say my stories follow a certain theme?
04. Is there anything you feel I ought to improve or change?
05. Does my style (if I have one) remind you of anyone else?
06. Judging from whatever writing of mine that you've seen, what do you think is/are my strength(s)?
07. What do you think are my weaknesses?

I also owe drabbles to ch1pper and deani_bean for their fabulous icons and I will do those!! Promise.

And rubberneck joined me on the darkside, writing several sections for the cofax7's Birthday Crack!Fic! which I will include and post when I get home. One of the really lovely things about having Feldman write something for this is that having written a gazillion pages together already, she somehow knows exactly what I want to see, even if I don't know it myself:) All of the contributing writers have been fabulous, and a joy, but it's like visiting the inside out of one's own brain sometimes to see what Feldman comes up with. It's also far easier to convey to her what I need written because she's used to coasting on my brain waves, on that feedback loop of text, texture and idea. It's a different sort of pleasure than having the other wonderful writers send me stuff. That in itself is a rich and sparkly surprise as well:)

01. Do I have a distinct style of writing? Yes.
02. If so, what exactly is it that defines my style? It's wonderflly fluid and almost intoxicating, washing over the reader like a relentless wave of building emotion and sensation.
03. Would you say my stories follow a certain theme? Yes. Intimacy and sex, not always the same thing.
04. Is there anything you feel I ought to improve or change? It sometimes feels as though your admiration of Aeryn colors the fic.
05. Does my style (if I have one) remind you of anyone else? Not a lot...maybe John Crowley.
06. Judging from whatever writing of mine that you've seen, what do you think is/are my strength(s)? Intimacy. Sex. People seeking emotional connection, forging bonds.
07. What do you think are my weaknesses? Punctuation and spelling.

Hee - would you believe I'm actually a good speller? It just doesn't transalte to my typing skills somehow:)

As for number 4, I think that's probably true. I think it should bother me more than it does:) I have a tendency to cut her more slack than I do John, and I do see that.
