Hello Hasty! Its good to hear from you! There were some people who were asking about how you were doing a few threads ago!
A 100 word description of your style...
First and foremost, I would ask others who have read your work what they think of your style. I know that Alabaster has read your piece Stamps, and Inky has read your Shorty Squad stories. Asking them for their opinion might help find key phrases or descriptions!
You can ask other editors here as well! Heavy Anon may not be around, but Canidae and Clunk are both incredible talented! I would ask them to read some of your work and ask them what they think!
As far as my opinion of your style, I would say the stories I've read of your have characters lost, traversing through worlds heavy with meaning that they cannot perceive and yet are weighed down, obstructed, or trapped by. Light, in terms of its ability (often failure) to illuminate, is a thematic constant: in Stamps, everything is lit or unlit until Judy finally begins her trek through the fog to a future unknown, and in Poor Form, it was impossible to see the boundaries of the room for the dark of the candlelight. Descriptions are often poetic, but words seem to fail characters: Judy is unable to speak her feelings at the end of Stamps, and Clancy's attempts at explaining his fears comes off as absurd to Percy. And if the world holding onto logic in layers unknowable by the characters was frustrating enough, stories usually resolve with characters braving their way through an even more imperceptible future: gray fogs and rehab, laying on the couch while being chided for over thinking things-- unknowable futures after the page ends and there will no longer be any text to garner meaning from. Of the two pieces I've read of yours, the frustration comes from not being able to see the world clearly or interpreting it to spell out doom, but relief is bitter and fearful because it releases you from the story.
