Another vote here for Joss Stone.  Amazing voice to come out of entirely the wrong body.

But it's a great body, just the wrong body for the voice.

Thanks Freak.  Fantasy and fun is what this site is all about.

Come on, guys.  No need to insult her on the way out.  We're not a bunch of razzers and boo-birds.

Let it go.

Good find.  Real attitude.  Real muscle.

[Mark Newman]

Thanks Random.  It was a particularly enjoyable challenge to keep it that short. 

Several other stories in the workshop were quite good too.  My favorites were Dropping by, Call Before You Come Over, and The List.

A nicer way to leave.  Thanks Strawberry.

No. We don't need a ton of smilies.  We don't need posters telling us we're losers.  And we don't need posters calling others "cunts" or suggesting they die in a desert. 

I don't know what SR did or said to you.  Having tits and a lot of muscle or a little bit of muscle has nothing to do with it.

You're free to disagree, show people you disagree and write as much as you want about it.  Flaming isn't welcome here.  That'what I'm saying.  I've said the same to SR.

Hmmm.  Just when it seemed to be settling down.

Let's make one thing clear.  None of the moderators did anything to delete her posts.  Let's not start dark rumors of persecution by the powers that be.  Although I don't care for SR's perspectives myself, she was as free to post here as anyone. And she's free to leave too.

I hope no one here takes SR's slurs seriously. We have an interest that's different from many others', and this is a place to enjoy it.

As I was writing this, I saw TMM's last post.  Please remove it or edit it.  We don't need that stuff here.

[Mark Newman]

Done.

I assume the question isn't limited to drawing.  And even if it is, I don't always pay attention to these limits.

My feeling about style is it's something that creeps on you when you've found a medium you're comfortable working in.  And if it is truly your own, it's something other people notice before you do.  All you know is that what you've created feels natural and right.  Then someone else comes along and tells you what is distinctive about it.

All of a sudden, you can see who you are and why you're different from everyone else.

My writing style has emerged over many years.  Some of the decisions are conscious.  Many aren't and I discover them by listening to other people's reactions and noticing things after reading and re-reading my work.

In the end, I don't aim for a style.  It happens.
