I'm just never going to fit in with the cool kids, am I? I actually have the opposite problem. I'm split pretty evenly between visual and aural when I picture the story and when I write it. So I actually have to work VERY hard NOT to describe every little thing and stink up the place with overly floral description. Writing fanfic has actually made me better at not being overly descriptive because everyone knows what Mal, or Crichton, or Sheppard looks like. You remember when I wrote Gutterstars; the first thing you noticed was too much description. But I'm better now. I think.

And I actually dislike a lot of description in fanfic specifically, because it always seems to smack of a bit of Mary-Sueism.
