[inquiring mind]

[hackthis_archive]

I somehow found myself reading a critique of one of my stories (no, the point is not what the critique said), that said [Story X] was "a classic hackthis story."

I have no idea what that means.

The stories I write are the ones I want to see. The ones that I want to write. I've always been firmly of the belief that if you want to see something written you should write it your damn self. But now, I am curious.

What does "a classic hackthis story" mean to you? Comma abuse? Crack? Lots of cursing? Ari? Discuss.

I scrolled back to see if that was my comment, because it sounds like something I would say. I have a strong feeling that your style is unique - you tend to have, huh, I'm thinking affectionately antagonistic relationships? Good banter? Your pairings tend to be things that other people would take a novella maneuvering to set up, but you just sail into them matter-of-factly.

...I'm trying to think what else. You have a distinctive style, for sure, but since your tags and my recs are organized by fandom, it's hard to see all your stuff in one place.

No, I didn't see this in your LJ. If I had I'm sure I would've just inquired, but I didn't know this person.
