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.

To me it's a combination of warmth, a slightly distant, often hilarious narrative voice, and self-contained scenes that make a sort of patch-work whole. I mean, obviously, that's just off the top of my head, but that's what I associate with your writing when I'm not reading it. (When I'm reading it I'm too busy with the story to think about such things)
