ls work experience at free-to-play / freemium mobile game studios considered "industry experience"? i.e. is it transferrable to game studios like indies and AAAs

Also wondering if the genre/quality of the product matters (in terms of how "valuable" the experience is). For example, 1 mobile studio that's looking at me produces what is essentially interactive stories that cater to the Twilight / 50 Shades of Grey Audience. Another mobile studio looking at me produces a variety of F2P games

l should note that my dream job is Game Writer, as in writing the story.

Any work experience is good, whats bad is having large time periods with no work experience.

This depends where your aiming to work at. If you worked on a mobile game that uses a payment gateway you would have a higher chance of finding work with a larger studio that also use a payment gateway.

So the more the games you work on is similar to the work you want to do the better your chances are of getting hired.

Studios will look for people with experience similar to the job they're hiring for.  So if a studio is working on AAA games, then of course AAA experience will be much better than small indie experience.
