LS fics - writing style?

[mistrali]

Hi all,

I'm trying to write an LS fic, but all of those I've seen are either written in the style of canon but are parodies (e.g. Karen's Religion), or they're serious but are written more conventionally. Would an LS fic with, say, no contractions (as in canon) be too grating for the reader to follow?

Thanks,
M

No, but it can be hard to remember. I'm in the middle of writing one so far the only thing to remember:
No contractions
Short sentences (there's a lot)
Using I many times

Thanks! Yeah, I guess since we all read LS already, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
