And your thought provoking question produced a small essay... sorry about that:
I wouldn't say that writing in this style is hard, but is is restrictive. Because the way it is written, it is a series of statements, to which I cannot add subtlety. Instead, I slam the main points home with blatant abuse of capitolization.
The language isn't that hard because I never went so far as to use old English (with thees and thous all over the place.) Although it is becoming harder to think of alternatives to Verily, Mightily and other suitably pretenious words.
In a way, it's easier because it's like glorified bullet points, and yet more difficult because I have to string them together into a story laced with humor. I can't really know if it's working or not because I know what I'm writting about. And so I look to you guys, who read it and leave comments, to see what works and what doesn't. But then, that's true for all fanfic writers.
End mini essay...
(I should come with a disclaimer myself, "my fanfics may be short and to the point, but if asked a suitable question I am annoyingly verbose.") Anyway, thank you for always reading and commenting!
