FFAAW Post #3
Mar. 9th, 2005 10:12 amFANFIC AUTHORS' 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 Three
Yeah, okay, it's actually Day Four, but I didn't get a chance to do my second post yesterday, so, argh. I'll sincerely attempt to do two today.
Anyway, now that that's out of the way, I think I'm going to go in a slightly different direction than most of the people on my flist are. I'm seeing a lot of recs of people who have LJs...but I think most of us know each other, so I'm going to try to rec people who might otherwise be overlooked.
In that spirit, my rec for this post is the lovely and talented Fallowdoe. Her fic "Spiegel Im Spiegel" takes a terrifying "what-if" scenario (what if Buffy hadn't been able to stop Glory from opening the portal at the end of S5?) and pulls you into that world from Spike and Buffy's separate points of view. Her writing style is almost lyrical, and she really makes you feel it, you know? Her short character pieces are just as good, and she's got a sequel to "Spiegel Im Spiegel" in the works as well.
I'm thinking about making an LJ Fic Rec Comm, so that once FFAAW is over, we don't lose all this in the shuffle. I don't have time to go read everyone and everything that's getting rec'd this week, so it'd be nice to have one place to go for it...
