Previous Post Yeah, I'll cop to all of these, with a possible exception: > There is strong anti-traditional, anti-authoritative vibe to your work. Anti-authoritative? Yes. Anti-traditional? Yes and no. My writing definitely reflects an alternative to "traditional values" in the modern sense of the term (one of my favorite puns is to describe CSFB! as having a "post-nuclear family"), but a lot of my concepts simply wouldn't exist without being strongly informed by other traditions (superhero archetypes and legacies, as well as tribal and classical mythologies).

The one I learned earliest in trying to use Dream: To capture what I feel is the closest I can get to authentic CSFB dialog, one needs to write his lines as run-on sentences. While it's not as immediately distinctive as Yo-speak or Ausgardian, I've always liked the free-flowing, hyperactive nature it represents.

And, of course, stylistically your stories often feature two characters debating a concept with a structured, almost-essay like work through of the issue.
