1. ANGST.
2. Characters will end their dialog or thoughts with an elipses... to imply they are at a loss for words or trailing off in their thoughts.
3. There will be many gazes, looks, stares, eyeings and the averting of said, to the side, down, or just, generally, away.
4. Characters will always have 'verbed' while they are 'verbing' in almost every sentence.
5. There will be a Last Line With Meaning which might or might not feel clunky. (stole this from rouka, but it's true for me as well)
6. Everything will be written in block paragraphs.
7. There will be plot elements subtly (often too subtly) implied, to be, hopefully, gleaned through the subtle hints dropped.
8. Characters will usually be overwhelmed by one of the five senses when in close proximity to one another.
9. The story will end with a character smiling in reflection on future events to come.
10. ANGST!!!
And now, I'll add the two questionsagent_rouka posted in her journal:
-- What are your favorite fics of mine and why?
-- What would you like to see me write more of?
Answer these questions in the comments, then post them in your own journal.

11. If it's not angsty, it's got to have my twisted, quirky sense of humour
THere, better?? *G*
Favourite fic - ALL OF THEM. Actually, I think half of the fics I've archived in my memories are by you. *g* But I have particular fondness for the one with all the angst.
*blushes at memoried fic* awwww.... you make me all pink and girly when you do that *G*
Yeah, the angsty 'one' seems to be a hit, eh?
*smooches you* thank-you, Sweet!
