Meme: What's My "Body"?

[entkayjay]

There's a meme making the rounds over on LiveJournal which would make for interesting discussion here, in a community of writers! I'm adapting how it's done to better suit the use of a BBS rather than a personal journal.

Anyone who is interested in receiving comments here about their overall writing "style", please let me know here (or through PM). I'll keep track until next Wednesday, August 24, then post a compiled list of people in this thread. Then folks can more easily give their input in a single post about multiple people.

Also feel free to ask any questions about the meme in general. This works better in an LJ-type setting but I think it could be really fun to see what others see in your writing!

(Moot to mention, but Standard Delphic Expanse Rules of Engagement apply.)

THE MEME:

"If I made Cinderella, the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach." -- Alfred Hitchcock

If I wrote fic/drew art/vidded/folded origami/etc today, the readers/viewers would immediately be looking for... what?

I'll play! I'm always looking for feedback, and this seems fun.

I'll play! But, um... Can you explain to me what 'meme' is?

No worries. Internet meme. Pronounced "meem" usually.

These go around LJ all the time, people on your flist (friend's list) answer questions or post questions and people ask/answer/do a list/whatever it is in the comments to the post. Then other people pick them up and it spreads.

Writing memes are really big there.

Cool, thank you! It'll be interesting to see how this works. Looking forward to it.
