What would you say are the trademarks of my writing? What themes or quirks or turns of phrase have you noticed? What is it that makes a story by me -- well, a story by me?

AND

Certain characters of mine have been dosed with a potion that makes them tell only the truth.. Ask them any question that you want, and he or she will answer truthfully!

Your writing comes off as so friendly. I feel like your story is my friend and I am totally invested in it :3

Questions:
Charles: Your honest impression of Hart - what kind of person do you think he is right now?
Laura: Do you disapprove of Vinny?
Peter: Where do you see yourself twenty years from now?
Robbie: Did you notice how Nesia was nice to you? What the hell is up with that?
Spencer: Can I have your babies?

My writing is your friend, because I love you to pieces.

Charles re: Hart
Honestly? Hmm. He's very affectionate and cheerful and charming, but I think also very sad. You can see it in his eyes sometimes. I know, because sometimes I feel that way.

Laura re: Vinny
Sometimes. I just-- I don't know what to think, you know? I was just brought up a certain way and we don't talk about... you know. Not at home, anyway. I mean I talked with Ma and sometimes Mary after we saw some videos in health class and stuff like that, but I'm just... I'm not comfortable with it, and I don't really like talking about it and it seems like lately it's all Vinny wants to talk about. I mean, she's a really nice girl and I like her a lot but sometimes she makes me uncomfortable.

Peter re: the future
I hate these kinds of questions! Why can't we just stick to the here and now? Does it matter where I am twenty years from now if I get hit by a car tomorrow? I mean, it's just stupid. I don't know. Having fun. That's where I see myself in twenty years.

Robbie re: Nesia
Well, you know what they say... you attract more flies with honey than vinegar. Generally speaking, I find that if you're sweet to a girl, they'll generally return the favor. And don't turn that into a joke. Get your mind out of the gutter.

Spencer re: donating sperm
Yeah sure whatever as long as I don't have to take care of it.

	I agree with Cristal, your writing is very friendly and amusing, like a good story. Hemingway: Most fun you've ever had. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Hemingway re: fun (what is it?)
Most fun I've ever had? Okay, okay, I'm not proud of it, but I think the first week we were in Paris, Scott and I decided to be jerks and go down to the Bois de Boulogne and play tricks on this one-eyed hooker. Camille. That was kind of hilarious.

Also, okay, don't tell Scott, but the speakeasy party was pretty fun. Especially when I got to beat the piss out of Joyce. I think his head almost spun all the way around. Oh man. Memories.

	I agree with Cristal and Amanda! It's very sweet and friendly and also cute. Not like, cutesy that's kind of annoying and wants to make you puke, but cute and full of heart. Yes. Masha: What's your worst memory? (Reply to this)(Thread)

Masha re: bad times
Oh, gosh... the time OTMAA was home alone Alex thought it was a good idea to rollerskate around the upstairs hallway and he fell down the stairs and I found him down there and oh my gosh I thought he was going to die. Good thing Olga had the sense to call the hospital and Mama or I thought he would have. I would've called myself but I think I was crying too hard.

I think I've said before, but they have organization and coherency that is uncommon to most RPers, thus making it more like a regular story. And I agree with everyone else on the friendliness. Maybe not with Spencer though. But that is because Frederick feels scorned, haha.

Spencer: Other than Sophie's apparent attractiveness, were there other reasons for your leaving Edward?
Cori: Does Roswel ever annoy you? Do you ever wish he was different?

Spencer re: Edward
I don't know. I mean, maybe. He can be a real prick sometimes when he doesn't get his way, and he overthinks things way too much sometimes. And Jesus fucking Christ, sometimes I like to be top, okay? And with Claire (how many fucking times, Edward, her name was Claire), that was kind of the only way it could go. So.

Cori re: Roswel
Does he ever annoy me? Oh, sure. Sometimes I really want to punch him in the head. I mean, I don't like him any less for it, it's just how he is, but God, I don't know why he's so insecure and relies on Skip so much. Sometimes it's like Skip is a third person on our dates even when he's not there! So yeah, sometimes I wish he was different, but mostly in that I wish he wasn't so dependent on other people for validation. It's a little pathetic. He needs to learn to stand on his own two feet.

	Your prose is very easy to follow, which I totally admire. I always feel like I'm going all over the place with my prose, trying to convey certain things, but with you it seems to come so easily! Dot: Neil, on a scale of 1 to 10 and why. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Dot re: Neil
What do you mean, on a scale of 1 to 10? Like, in bed, or like, in how much he makes me want to put my fist through a wall, or in how much I like him, or what?

I'm going to say 8 because, yes, he's hot and he's good in bed and he sort of gets me, but I don't completely trust him, so maybe that's why it's only 8. Plus, he sort of encourages my bad-girl behavior, and according to the Dean, it's my responsibility to work on that, so... I don't know. Ugh. I hate this question.

your characters are so damn friendly and... irresistible. i guess that's the right word. even when they're supposed to be unfriendly or a mess, i just want to take them home and cuddle them and paint their toenails and/or feed them soup. damn you.

questions!

Dot: Name one thing that you would never in a million years do, even if someone offered you an obscene amount of money.

Laura: Do you regret getting involved with Marlowe?

Dot re: never ever ever
I would never... whore myself out. I have dignity, even if it doesn't look like I do sometimes. And I would never change myself (personality-wise) for a guy. I mean, if I met someone who wanted me to stop drinking, that might be some good initiative, you know? But I'm not going to change who I am and what I think for anyone. I'll never censor myself to please someone.

Laura re: Marlowe
No, not at all! None of what happened to me was his fault. We were way too careful, so I think me running into Balfour was a fluke. I don't regret getting involved with him. I think maybe I regret that I couldn't convince him to go to the police before that poor boy got killed. But, like I said... I don't think Marlowe's a bad person for it. People make mistakes. Lord knows I've made plenty of them, and maybe getting involved was a mistake, but I wouldn't say I regret it.
