I think the most consistent descriptor I have is 'self-indulgent', tbh - I write because I need other people to love the things I love as much as I do, and quite often in the way that I do - a lot of my favourite characters have fans that love them for [reasons that are at best dull and flattening and at worst harmfully stereotypical and directly contradicting the text that drew me to them in the first place], and rather than stomping into other people's places with UR FUN IS DUMB signs I write fic. It's also become increasingly concerned with consumption, and especially the hunger of things which are not quite right (twisted nature, eldritch women) for things they don't really know how to express. Ambiguous, also, maybe, in a good way or a bad one - I talked a bit about that in my yuletide wrapup post, how I struggled with writing from the perspective of an unreliable narrator while still posing a satisfying question rather than a '...it's over?' question.
