daily prompt and shortlisted

I'm shortlisted as a finalist at JC's Birthday Bash Blogfest! Go and vote, you have time until tomorrow! (and no, I won't hate you if you prefer somebody else's entry – that's what I did, after all! ) That was a fun challenge, writing exactly 100 words…

The daily prompts weren't really inspiring except the interesting post on style. Which relates to Loralie's post about buying a book by a blogger because you like their voice. Except I'm not sure the blogging voice is identical in the prose/fiction – the first post gives examples of different styles from the same author: I've done that too, trying to use different styles either for different stories or in a same story because it was either an exchange of letters or crossing journals and I wanted them to sound different according to the character writing them.

So I don't know if a blogger's voice is also the voice found in his/her fiction. I mean, I am very colloquial, informal and slangish on the blog, but as I write fantasy (or historical novels) I try to be more formal even if I keep a journalistic prose – that's my voice, I don't like literary prose.

When I bought other bloggers books, it was either to support another indie author or because I was interested in the story – and I can't say the books were written with the exact same style of the blog. Maybe I picked authors/bloggers with a not so distinct voice? I don't think so.

And what about me, do I sound different here or in my fiction?
