I’m not even a chapter into a new fic and I hadn’t looked at the author name when I’d clicked into it, but I struck the phrase “camber of his ribs” and immediately thought, ‘is this BeautifulFiction’s work?’.

The answer was yes and I’m quite surprised I picked this up. They seem to be the only author that I’ve found that uses this and a few other phrases, but something about their writing is incredibly recognisable. Inject everything they write into my veins, please (Hiraeth especially, it’s my comfort fic).

Is there something that makes an author’s writing distinguishable to you?
