About my writing styles:

Honestly I'm a beginner writer, though I'm not at all inexperienced. My last english teacher praised me a lot about my writing, but later realized she meant I have a good imagination and creativity for a writer and not that my actual writing was good. Later I've learned to appreciate reading more books and even owning a dictionary that always seems to be infront of my computer monitor.

As a reader one thing I've practice was avoid fics that do not grab my interst, fics that usually have too many conversations and not enough story telling (with certain exceptions of course), and I stop reading fics where a character from one point just suddenly says "Oh! I love you (now)." XD without the writer detailing the hows, whats and whys. I realized that avoiding these kinds of stories... motivates me in finding quality stories to read and to compare my writing quality to. Stories that are a little too short are also a little turn off, I try not to read anything that has less than 1500 words per chapter (yes there are exceptions... sometimes).

What I try to look for in what I read and write (something I've come to realize again after nearly a year...) is that I then to go for stories with romantic, dramatic, tragic and/or plot twisting impacts. Something that can make a person fall to tears and appreciate the power of good writing and story telling. (Something I rediscovered after watching episode 9 of Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS, I had a good 2 minute tear session. And I said to myself. I'd want to write a fic about this later.)

First Person Narratives: (FPN) Speaks for itself, in this style... I have the character tell the story from start to finish. Here the writer must make the character show his/her personality in a multitude of ways, in the way she reacts, thinks, etc... from what the character may or may not notice to things she might not care about etc. the down side of this style is one cannot completely tell a whole story and everything happening... at least I prefer not to. That is why I developed or at least experimenting with (Alternating Character Narratives).

Alternating Character Narratives: (ACN) This style uses the FPN style with a twist. After each chapter, the most important character, other than the narrator character of the last chapter will tell the story. He or She will start off somewhere in the middle of the last chapter and tell it in her side of the story and after that. Then the next one and the next one, up till the story is finished. This style is still has to prove itself a good way to tell a story. But would I personally would prefer it than having FPNs in the middle of a (Norm).

Normal: (Norm) Normal or Traditional as I would like to call it is the type of story where you have a story teller who's not the least bit involved with the story. A god narrator so to speak. ~After finishing "I can't tell you" and "Hikari" I've grown to like this style and I am challenging myself to write something with more than just one chapter using this style. (I had started on writing a version of Yaya's Voice in this style. But i've made it a side project for now, I'll focus more on it if and when I finish the ACN version.)

Dual Narrative: (Dual Norm) My experimental writing style. I use two narrators, both can be norm or one can be a main character telling the story with the normal narrator. Highly experimental. And can cause me to delete stories if I'm dissatisfied with the outcome and feedback. An Example of this one is my first creation using this style. "Love and Hate" check it out and pls leave a review.

No Dialogue: (ND) A style I'm sure that has been done before, but I tried once (so far: please check "I don't need words" a Strawberry Panic fanfic.) to challenge myself and my writing. I liked how it turned out even though it didn't get much reviews. The story itself was simple and easily told. The challenge was to erase the dialog and make me the author describe everything their doing and saying without revealing what it is exactly the characters said.

(Strawberry Panic) I can't tell you!: (Drama/Romance/Humor/WAFFY/Angst) (Norm) That short time they spent together that rainy afternoon inside the warm church gave them time to talk about things. Love was the biggest topic in Hikari's mind. Yaya was such a nice girl, sure she liked teasing people, she wasn't the type that liked backing down a fight but Yaya was always there for Hikari. Which made her wander if she had someone special like Amane was for her.
