1) What was the first story you read that I wrote? And the Sailor, Home from the Sea 1a) Did you like it or not? Yeah 1b) Why or why not? Hmm. Because it was well written in a time when lots of crap was being posted? 1c) What do you remember most about it? Nice first person. Clear, rich tone running through.
2) What story of mine do you like the best? Seven Veils. 2a) Why? It just ... really *works* for me. Effective rhythm and style, and the messy and confusing inside of Clark's head, and how he relates to all the different people in his life. *cough*Chlark issues? Me*cough* 2b) What separates it from the other stuff I wrote? It seems slightly clearer, maybe. More focused? 2c) What separates it from other stories like it? Dunno.
3) What story of mine do you like the *least*? The Utterly Perfect Murder. 3a) Why? It just ... doesn't do much for me, I guess. 3b) What separates it from the other stuff I wrote? I think it's just my reaction more than anything else. 3c) What separates it from other stories like it, if anything?
4) What about my writing style grabs you? Hmm. It's well written, subtle, with all these complex things coming through these relatively simple sentences. 4a) What stories exemplify this style? Uh. Seven Veils, Greenlit, And Now the Sailor
5) What type of story (not which characters) would you like to see me write? Porn! Write porn!
*cough*
6) Is there a specific character or situation you'd like to see me try my hand at? Heh. I'll go with Hope and encourage the happyfic. 6a) Why do you think I'd be good at it? Because you write well. And they're in love! How can you resist?
7) Is there anything, in your experience, that you think would help me fix a specific flaw in my writing? Nothing springs to mind.
