    My results - narrative writer - a surprisingly accurate description.
    You're a narrative writer. You love reading and writing long, descriptive passages that read like poetry, and are full of imagery. Just be careful not to overdo it. Not everyone wants to know the exact shade of green on the hills.

    You're a Dialogue/Character Writer!


    I suspected as much. And I do TRY not to forget about the plot!
    No, really, my writing is characterised by a lot of dialogue, descriptions (I try to make them as poetic as possible), characters, cliff-hangers (or so my reviewers call them, to me they're just a message saying "come back for more when I've got the next chapter up" ), and...well...very twisty-turny plots?

    These Quizilla things are pretty addictive.

    I am a writer of tales, an entertainer for the mind, the spirit, the soul. There is no one genre' which finds itself isolated and alone in my writing, but instead genres may overlap, intermingling, mixing in a great and graceful ballroom dance of creativity, all the partners slipping seamlessly into the rythem of the tale.......

    ......uhhh......what was the question?...............

    Oh well, maybe I should stop all my literary ambitions from carrying me away, huh?

    Is this ... test trying to tell us that you cannot be a good plot writer or narrativer or characterer if you write SF? What kind of sick test is this?
    Are you a SF writer or are you a good writer...., now, really...

    We were a plot writer btw.
    If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.

    pshaw... maybe it was because my range of reading and likings were broad, and there wasn't one particular genre that stood out, that doesn't mean they have to brand me as a FLUFF writer!!! hmmm......

    Don't worry, Adelheid, I got the same one. Honestly, though, it all depends on my mood. Sometimes I'll be writing and thinking "Hm, what character should die today", and other times I wonder who I can just write a "fluffy" story about. Oh well.

    I wondered the same, actually. The test found me as a narrative writer, but, in actual writing, I could never write a detailed novel to save my life, though I admire those who have that talent. I can write long, very descriptive poetry, but, in terms of fiction, I seem more of the dialogue/character, writing plays. Weird, I know.

    Took me a few times to do this to get this result more than once. I am a mystery writer and at first it told me I was but I had not heard this word before but I learned something new today.

    Words can either heal or harm I choose for my words to heal and do no harm.
