One of my signature things is that I like to inject humor into even the most serious works when I can, because life just works like that sometimes, and because humor is how I cope with the world myself.

Also, all my characters have to have at least one thing in common with me, or else they never gain any depth, for some reason. Even villains. Sometimes it's something fairly simple, though. For example, in my Lyria stories there is a... well, not really a villain. Just someone Lyria doesn't like, and the feeling is mutual. His name is Jarnion. His alignment is Lawful Good, and Lyria being a True Neutral dark sorceress, he doesn't trust her. What I have in common with him so far is just being out of shape. There might be something else more subtle, I don't know. Oh, and he's intelligent. I daresay most of my characters are intelligent.
