if we're talking about my posting the way, I guess the way I'd describe my personal touch is that I've naturally got a wide vocabulary and I think I'm pretty decent at emulating others' prose and tousling up my own style of prose to fit whatever the vibe is.

I can only speak a little on my own style as it's just what is natural to me–Objectively, I use a lot of em-dashes, but that's really just a me thing–I don't like using colons in place of where semicolons or commas may go: it feels too intangibly limiting in scope.

Subjectively, I think I use a lot of abruptness and attempts-to-overwhelm for my comedic style. A lot of times, there are a lot of little details I fixate on, i.e. flow and punctuation, either to be deliberate about it or make things read better. I am a bit of an obsessive editor, I tend to look a lot of my bits over many times and revise them sometimes even hours after sending them out.

Can't really say much else as that's a level of self-awareness about my writing I have not obtained. I wouldn't say I'm in the top leagues of the best-to-post on this site but I think I'm above-average mob-bashful


if it's emote fluency it's entirely because I'm the emote maintainer lea-finger-guns
