The shrine writing styles game

Post by dubiousdisc »

I know that so many of us are so insecure and dismissive about the writing work we do for our shrines...so let's play a game about our writing styles!

How to play:
Reply to this topic with "I'm in!" or something to that effect. Other people can then reply to your post by answering these questions about your work:
- How would you define [person's] writing style?

- What do you like about the way [person] writes their shrines?

- What do you think is the strongest point of [person's] writing?

- (Optional!) In which direction do you think they should expand their work?
Go!

There are shadows before us - but only because the light is at our back.

Friendly academic

What do you like about the way [person] writes their shrines?
I like that Robin's pieces seem academic in the way of having such a close attention to grammar and length, but her content is written in a way that is accessible for everyone. She never writes down to the reader and, instead, invites them into her world by providing a lot of insight into the topic she is writing about.

What do you think is the strongest point of [person's] writing?
Friendly tone and clearly presented information.

Personal

What do you like about the way [person] writes their shrines?
Crystal's shrines are so incredibly personal. I like how she clearly presents her ideas and they shine as being her ideas. She excels in the first-person format and it makes me feel like I am really reading everything in her voice.

What do you think is the strongest point of [person's] writing?
Being able to clearly present her opinions in a way that you know they are hers, they are easy to understand, and cannot be mistaken for facts. The facts, on the other hand, are also clearly portrayed as well!

AWWW <3 *feels special :D :D*

Now I shall return the favor! :D

How would you define Destinie's writing style?
Informative, thoughtful/analytical pace, evident passion for the subject matter

What do you like about the way Destinie writes her shrines?
I always come away from Destinie's shrines feeling like I've glimpsed an enchanted place I didn't even know was there. The pacing of each shrine reveals the subject slowly but beautifully, like a veil being drawn back.

What do you think is the strongest point of Destinie's writing?
The sheer amount of information delivered in such tidy word packaging :D
