Top Ten Ways to Tell You're Reading a Story by Brigdh
1. The title comes from some obscure quote that no one's ever heard of and only makes sense to me.
2. The weather will be described in exact, loving detail. Usually it will be either incredibly hot or incredibly cold, because extremes are fun.
3. Wow, I didn't know you could fit that many adjectives in a sentence!
4. Someone will get some.
5. If there is dialouge, no one will actually say what they mean. Instead everyone talks around each other and makes vague allusions to the problem.
6. The POV character will feel the need to comment on other characters' prettiness. Several times.
7. It has a happy ending, if by happy you mean, "tenuous, complicated, and bittersweet".
8. There's no plot.
9. I talk about it for a geological age before it's finished.
10. Everyone is bi, and yet no one ever notices, comments on, or cares about sexuality.
