I'm in love...

... with Maldoror.

She just wrote a fic...

Whis is in character.

Whis is Wufei and Heero.

In character.

Together.

And it WORKS.

I want to marry her.


The Wufei POV is just perfect. She wrote those exactly as I love them, two alpha males whose relationship starts off more about dominance than tenderness. *sigh in happy bliss* I love how dark and angry and totally unsappy the story is.

She writes fast (about three chapters per week) with very good prose, her plots are intriguing and engaging and original and her action scenes are to die for, especially the sparring scenes. Her sap is subtle and cute without being too sugary, her angst hits hard but is never overdone, and she writes all the pairings I like, in character, not making them weak or girlish. (yes, one of the pairings I like is 1x5. Yes, she does manage to make it work, not OOC and believably. Yes, I was surprised too, since I didn't think it was possible.)

She writes fantasy/Sci-fi AUs, In-series, deathfics, sappy fics... mainly 1x2 (with some 1x2x5 on the side), and even in a 1x2-overloaded fandom, I still think that her take on them is at the same time in character and totally unique, and undoubtedly deserving more recognition than she is getting.

I even like her Trowa to death, which was something of a shock to me since lots of times I couldn't care less about him. He's quiet but funny as hell, acts sort of cold but never soul-dead... I don't know, I just love him.

In short, GO READ HER FICS NOW GODDAMMIT!!!!!

Just had to hug and squeeze you for pointing this chickie out to the world at large. Just one look (well, read) and I fell head over heels. As I tend to do. *cough* Thankfully, she didn't run scared from my ramblings when I asked to archive her, and I owe this all to you. *ponder* I spose this means I can also blame you for all the coding I now have to do, too. Heh...

*nod nod* I have, I have. It will be very interesting to see where she takes it after the war. The only other fic I can compare it to is Flamika's 'When Walls Come Tumbling Down', which was a one-shot and therefore didn't get the concentration that Mal can put into it with her multi-part-er.
