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.

Great dialogue, recently small fandom, crossover, strong characterisation, rarely emo*, rarely fluffy, but often sharply humorous, mostly gay.

Your sharp, sharp, witty dialogue is the best. It's invigorating.

*Which kind makes it seem like I imagine your Smallville oeuvre** was written by another person.

**I even pick a word that reinforces the idea!

I admit that some of my SV ouvre is, uh, special. But I do still have a great love for 'Conflagrations Up at the Place' and 'Square One.' The rest of it, well, it was the first fandom where I actually put dialogue in. I was learning! Still am.
