We're being *observed* in work a lot. There is *nothing* like two women staring over your shoulder while you try to help clients and get in your way frequently.
On the other hand, tomorrow we're being appreciated. I hvae no idea what that means, but we're going to go to another building adn be given cookies and punch.
Mmm. Cookies.
If appreciation was always expressed in cookies, I'd be a truly amazing human being. *grins*

"What kind of work is my name -- jenn -- associated with? What kind of assumptions do you make about a piece of writing, fiction or non, if you see my name on it?
Nota bene: This is emphatically NOT an attempt to fish for compliments. I'm not trying to get judgements on the quality of my work, but rather about its other characteristics.
For example, if you were given the name of an actor, that might make you think of a certain genre of film he or she is often in or a type of character.
What is jenn-brand writing?"

From:I'd assume that it's quality work. That's a given. It's been edited, checked for spelling, typos addressed etc. That the subject, the idea, is original. That the story is intelligently thought out. That the plot is point driven, unless of course it's not. That attention is paid to the details of description, location, and character. That characters are very much In Character. (and stay that way, even if she takes them to the outer limits of possibility).
What *kind* of work? Dreamy, moody, surprising, harsh, porny goodness, quiet, funny, sweet, angsty even when not, pulls the heartstrings and the mind at the same time kind of work.
One word to describe it? Outre'

From:Hmmm... close third person, present tense. Stories with good physical descriptions, that can just make you *feel* *with* the characters. Hot smut (kinda goes without saying, really *g*).
Stories that can both entertain me and make me think.
They're not the cookies of fandom (not a light, sweet snack) but they make for a great meal. Always meaty, something you can really get your teeth into.

From:--I'm already assuming it's going to be good.
--I'm assuming it's going to be tightly written and very, very deeply inside one character's head.
--It may have parts that I need to read over again in order to understand them.
--It's going to get to me. Whether it leaves me going "aaaack!" (see A Handful of Dust) or whatever, it's going to make me *feel*.

From:Can Jus Bellum be read without the epilogue? I've had it downloaded forever, but was waiting for the epilogue.
