Ways to tell it's my fic

Snow day! We got 2 hours off work to avoid the snowy rush hour. So I'm jumping on the meme bandwagon seen on [livejournal.com profile] isiscolo and other LJs...



1. The title is either a song or CD title or from song lyrics, and probably song lyrics begin each chapter as well. No matter how much [livejournal.com profile] ravurian bitches at me for it.

2. It's long.

3. There's lots of plot to it. Lots and lots and lots of plot to it. Which is why it's so long.

4. There's probably at least one original character in there. Or else a minor canon character who takes a lead role.

5. Even though it'll be Britpicked, there'll still be something obviously American that got missed.

6. I'll probably use the words "elegant" and "slender" somewhere.

7. It'll be posted all at once no matter how long it is - I don't release WIPs into the wild.

8. Draco's a lead character...

9. ...and he's not evil...

10. ...and he ends up with Harry.

Do you readers notice any other peculiarities of mine?

Details. Lots of tiny, tiny details, carefully intertwining and making up one gorgeous fic. Hell, you made me read AND enjoy mpreg, there's nothing left to say...

Thanks! I love to go back and rewrite lots of detail into my scenes. It's the one trick I learned from John Le Carre way back when I first started writing.
