Depends on what I'm writing. Normally, I'd say my style is somewhere between Jerry Holkins and Dave Barry (probably closer to the first), with a helping of stream of consciousness added in. I rather enjoy the humor value inherent in a bit of sesquipedalian loquaciousness (or at least, a more formal tone than a given situation calls for), especially if it's suddenly brought down by an unexpected turn or a sudden drop in formality. I'd imagine I'd use such a style for reviews, as well.

I've only written one (well, two, but I don't acknowledge the first) story, so I can't really generalize on that. Other than to say that I love scenery and emotional description and don't really feel comfortable writing dialogue.

i'm dry, a little sarcastic and use, as i am demonstrating now, commas in the place of brackets. i also use absurdity a lot and bad analogy for comedic purposes as well as the oddly placed, needlessly fancy, use of florid verbosity so as to appear intelligent.

I tend to use very lengthy sentences and draw a lot of metaphors and similes where I can. I also try to use the full extent of my lexicon wherever possible, not to show off but just to make it more interesting to read, rather than some trundling repetitive mess. I don't generally give a great deal of time to proof reading and editing though as I find I write best when I just let it flow spontaneously without agonising over each and every syllable, which can give my writing a slightly conversational tone as I end up just writing as I think, sort of.

Verbosity, provocativeness, and eccentricity.

Communicate with color. Its how I live my life.

Speak in the grandest manner you can.

There is more to communicating then "i" and "e".
