Tru dat - as Jane would have said“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasured in a goodnovelfisting, must be intolerably stupid.”

not so much "blue" as "sexually-frustrated purple"Ah yes, Jane's "blue" period.

You should try it. It’s fun. Maybe Chekhov?I don't enjoy trying to write in the style of any other author. I'm sure I do sometimes because of the influences of what I read. I do know that some of what I've written comes out in the style of Lawrence Durrell--but that was mostly because I drafted six novels while sitting in the villa where he wrote much of the Alexandria Quartet and socializing with some of the folks he patterned characters on. I've written stories here with my coauthor that did purposely channel him in situ.

I find it fun. YMMV.I have tried it. It isn't fun. It isn't spontaneous. It's work.

I think parody of another author is probably more fun than trying to genuinely emulate them.I have tried it. It isn't fun. It isn't spontaneous. It's work.
Throw in an accordion and Baby, you've got a stew going.I think parody of another author is probably more fun than trying to genuinely emulate them.
Again, I'd have to spend more time discerning what the style was than in writing myself. I like writing my own stuff.I think parody of another author is probably more fun than trying to genuinely emulate them.
Do what I did and parody a poem. Maybe Paradise Lost.Again, I'd have to spend more time discerning what the style was than in writing myself. I like writing my own stuff.
It’s afoot.So... indulge me. What's the game?
Stop taunting me so.My lamp needs plenty of rubbing for me to come on time.
Chekhov would be dull - just a bunch of disenchanted middle classes bemoaning their pre-revolution lot and dreaming wishfully of breaking stones by the road side. All this suffering. Perhaps they will come a time when there will be no mysteries and women may enjoy a crisis without criticism. I dream of crisis, when my poor body is released from its miserable servitude and allowed to paint the colours of love.You should try it. It’s fun. Maybe Chekhov?

Psst… that’s why I may have picked him.

I am if not quite old - certainly well on the way there. Just wait. "Don't worry too much, it'll happen to you [too], as sure as your sorrows are joys." The "kids" now look like the New Men on The Block. I don't think going to NKOTB is going to help them much.I mean, I get it but it has an "Old Man Yells At Cloud" vibe. Certainly out of character for you Hill so I played with it a bit.
NKOTB is a joke for the older sect.
New Kids on the Block was a decidedly boy band that tried to "mature" by re-moniker-ing.
And if society isn't using boy bands for the font of wisdom they are, what are we even doing?
Do we need to talk?Stop taunting me so.
I did get the Jane Austen one correct, although I did put a question mark on the statement. I even spelled her name correctly.Duly summoned with apologies. My lamp needs plenty of rubbing for me to come on time.
Having appraised myself of the content thus far I take some offence at these various slurs on JA ( That's Jane Austen, gunnhilltrain thingy ) though I have seen the word "forfend" use a couple of times on other threads recently. I haven't see forfend used since Richard II, by the Bishop of Carlisle if memory serves.
So... indulge me. What's the game?
*draws in dust with toe*Do we need to talk?
