FANFIC AUTHOR'S APPRECIATION WEEK - MARCH 6 THROUGH MARCH 13

Post to your LJ each day at least one of your favorite fanfic authors and why you love them, their work, and why they need more appreciation.

Day Six

I went with rachel_wilder because not only is she a good friend to have in any fandom (even if she refuses to share Matthew Fox with me) or that she shares my love of Joan and Kevin bonding in Joan of Arcadia stories, but because she writes amazingly well. Any fandom that she undertakes, it’s obvious that she has a love for the characters and the universe. She manages to build on it in wondrous ways.

She’s written Party of Five, Dark Angel, X-Files, and Joan of Arcadia fiction that fills me with love for the characters that I’m attached to.
Plus, maybe if more people go read her Five Stages WIP for JoA, she’ll update sooner...hee.

So check out her website: The Wilder Side


Day Seven

The person I chose for the seventh day was yahtzee because she writes these amazing stories that are filled with things that I’ll never be able to do. I’m very much envious of her able to cull out these outrageous plots and not only make them believable, but pull them off brilliantly. She writes in several fandoms that I adore including Alias, Lost and Joan of Arcadia to name a few.

I have yet to stumble upon a story that I don’t like or immediately get sucked into. She knows her characters and she knows how to get them to do almost anything without it seeming unlikely.

Some of my favorites include “Goodnight, Moon” (JoA), “Irenicon” (Alias), and “Inhabited by Winter” (Harry Potter) but check out all the stories.

Her website: Yahtzee

**

There are several other writers that I think everyone should read though. dragonsinger writes amazing original characters into her stories and her Adult!Wyatt in charmed fandom is hard to beat. ladybug218 writes wonderful stories in several different fandoms that always make me squee and giggle and brings a smile to my face. If it weren’t for the writings/graphics of literarylemming I’m not sure that I would’ve discovered the wonders that is Domilie. I admire zeplum for already tackling the fandom of BSG2003 with such skill – while I sit in the corner, hiding from the bunnies because I’ll never do them justice like she and so many others already do.

And that’s just a few off the top of my head. I’m probably missing a ton of others as well because there is so much great fic produced by so many wonderful authors all the time.

Geez...your words, they are so kind. Thank you.

You're welcome, dearie! Meant every word. And now that your remix is done...

::nudges you to write more Five Stages:: Hee.

I have the story open right now. This doesn't mean anything...I have the story open a lot and I need to rewatch "Drive He Said".

[storydivagirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I do that every day with at least *one* of my WIPs...and nothing ever seems to come of it.

Pfft, go ahead and play around! It's all new, so it's not like you can screw up (really, if it's your interpretation, how can you screw up anyway?). Play around, have fun and let me do all the insecure wanking. I'm good at it!

Pick your poison and make it your own, that's my theory. Seems to be why I'm sticking to backstory even though I really want to start on some of the other incidental characters from the series.

Well, if you insist on handling all the wanking, I guess I have no other choice but to forage back into Lee's head and write.

This could be very bad:p
