Yes, I mean Faulkner! What an off confusion -- I don't think Forster has a recognizable writing voice, though he does have a style. I think Austen is the same?
I'm not sure the published world is that way -- I mean, many of the authors I love haven't, I think, such a recognizable writing voice. Meh, idk. Like, would you say Ursula K Le Guin has one? Or Kazuo Ichiguro? Or Borges? Or García Marquez? Austen herself? Gaskell? (Purposefully grabbing people from different places and times...)
I think it's probably the same as in ff, except that mimicry itself is probably more valued in fandom. Though most people don't even try for it in my experience.
On your other words: no problem! I mean, I'm flaky as hell myself and have been distracted with stuff. I think I sent you a chapter corrected last? (If not, I'll go see!) If you still want to beta, I would be most grateful, seriously.
