Parentheses! Haha, I know other people use that writing style, but I always associate it with you.

Good writing and possibly (probably) some major angst or darkness?
ETA - bearing in mind that most of what I've read has been set in the world of BtVS/AtS. I see that I could branch out considerably... I've read a few of your crossovers, but I didn't realize how much else you had that I might want to dip into.

Spot-on character voices, deep explorations of subtextual motivation, and Dawn being adorable. :)

Awesome, awesome parentheticals. Also, kleenex. I look for kleenex. in my house. because your prose makes me cry. Also, I hate you a little for writing Dawn/The Immortal because I liked it so much that I wanted more, and you know who else writes Dawn/The Immortal? Oh, that's right, no one.

Wait, what was the question?

haha ;)

My first thought was "Buffy. Spike." And then I giggled to myself. Other than that, I agree with eowyn's parentheses vote. Also, hahaha at maddie's comment about Dawn and The Immortal, because -- my thoughts exactly!!! Mooooooore. ...Ahem, No pressure.

Also when I think of your writing I think "very good."

Yeah, sorry this is not that coherent. I'm post-long-work-day.

I agree with the parenthesis and spot-on voices!

(Also, I somehow missed that you did crossovers, since I think I've only caught your stuff at Seasonal Spuffy? Excuse me while I Instapaper your entire LJ for lunchtime reading).
