With the warning that I'm really bad at recognizing style.
Do you feel your writing is recognizable? Why or why not? I suspect not? I'm bad at recognizing writerly voice, myself, so I'm not sure what is people look at to recognize writing. I certainly have an style when writing certain type of stories (someone told me I skirt around a lot instead of saying things outright. I think they may be right?) . I mean, I use m-dashes a lot. I confuse may and might a lot. I... idk. I've plenty of those kinda of... mistakes or things I do unconsciously. But I'm not sure anyone would be able to recognize my writing just for that. They are things I'm particularly aware of because my betas point them out.
What do you think gives you away? Er, idk?
Have you written a fic that you feel best exemplifies what makes you recognizable? What was it? Again, I really don't know.
What's a fic you've written that you feel is unrecognizable? If only because of its rating & particular argument, my only 28 Days Later story. I was purposefully attempting to imitate a particular character's voice, too. I'm not sure either thing is enough to not make me recognizable if anyone does recognize my writing.
What are some fanfic writers you admire that you feel are recognizable? Uhm. This is hard! I'm so very bad at it, that I'm not sure I'm a good judge. But, say, Faulkner is a good bet, probably. After reading The Sound and the Fury with my sister, we spent days and days in which we only messaged each other in Forster style. /ETA: I'm not sure how I missed the 'fanfic' here, tbh!
What gives those writers away? Well, I suppose any stream of consciousness would make me think Faulkner (I think it was the first novel I read which was so extremely in that style), but at the moment of reading it I remember that the writing had a certain cadence that was very very recognizable. I couldn't tell you how, because I didn't analyse it then, just imitated it in those messages, but it was very noticeable.
What's a fic that you would rec that you feel best exemplifies their recognizability? Oh! I suddenly realized you meant fic. Uhm. You know, I can't think of anyone.
What are some fanfic writers you admire that you feel are less recognizable? Most of the people whose writing I admire! I only don't say 'all' because I'm not entirely sure none of them have recognizable writing.
What are some fics by those writers that you feel exemplifies difficulty in recognizing them? No clue. I mean, take Peradan/Anghraine. I think she varies phrase structure and pov and voice a lot, depending on the fandom. I think taking any of her SW fic, and comparing it to her JA fic, or her HP fic, would be a good example. (But then again, maybe her writing is recognizable for someone else? idk)
