WRITING STYLE
As posted on my writing community "seededwomb" on LJ:

At the moment, I don't have a very distinctive writing style. I'm always experimenting with new ways to express myself and the emotions of the charaters. I mostly toy with the present tense and third person narrative. I wish to branch out of these comfort zones in the future. As for what I write about, my fanfiction usually focuses on one central couple and the people around them. I have a pretty open mind about love, and I believe it can be felt between all kinds of people (and vampires and other creatures). I started writing slash fanfiction in 2008, and that is not a comfort zone of mine, but I hope to exercise my skills in that area as well. I don't write fanfiction based on real people (therefore celebrities), except for one birthday fic for my best friend, but that was all in good fun. :D I'm not comfortable in that area either. I may one day post original fiction here with my own characters, but at the moment I'm not ready to share that quite yet. That may change soon, though, never say never!
