Heh.

How to write like PL.

1. Lengthy Explainations. A story just isn't a story if you don't explain in little tiny details how something everyone already knows works. This shows you are an intelligent writer when you explain everything because everyone else is much more inferior to your in intelligence.

2. Power up your character. Capable of fighting the top class people in the universe after only a week? Nope, not good enough. Capable of fighting the very demons of hell after only a month? Nope, you're still not high enough. Capable of kicking God out of Heaven and declaring yourself rule of all plains of existence. Almost. Powering up for the sake of adding more power even though your character is already capable of doing everything else. BINGO! Conflict, what's that?

3. Every girl loves your character. In fact, guys get turned into girls just so they can love your character.

4. Make sure to go into long rants about everything in your story. Remember, everyone else is a complete idiot compare to yourself and you must explain everything to them. Not to mention explaining why you should never take advice from anyone because you know better.
Continue in this form.

Only with better authors.

How to write like Erisah Mae

1. Explore internal logic of chosen fandom to the point of minutiae.

2. Have lots of asides (in brackets) as characters think in tangents.

3. Comedies tend to turn into tragedies, and angst into black humour.

4. Slow boil. Jesus Christ, does this woman ever take an AGE to get to the point.

5. If Naruto fanfic, assume that Japanese to English Dictionary may be needed at least once.

6. Crossovers tend to seem like fandoms have been drawn out of a hat.
