Fanfic Author Appreciation Week, Day 2

Spotted in [livejournal.com profile] misscam's LJ. I'm spreading the love!

Fanfic Author 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.

Today's author is Silvormoon, writer in quite a few fandoms and a very good friend of mine.

The Spirits Within: A Digimon Frontier fic wherein the six Chosen Children are offered an opportunity to return to the Digital World. Naturally, adventure follows. It's Silvor's current WIP, and a fic where the plot, characterization and friendship between the characters isn't overshadowed or thrown to the wayside in favor of two characters discovering their OMG!!onetwuwuv.

Silvor does a lot of writing in the Digimon fandom, and most of it seems to revolve around the Tamers season. Second-tier characters get just as much attention in her fics as the main characters do, as seen here, and she's not afraid to write an AU or crossover.

But she's not limited to just the Digimon fandom. Silvor's also written for Power Rangers, Slayers and Pokemon as well. She's also one of the few authors who can create an OC that I enjoy reading and doesn't turn into a Mary Sue at any point during the fic.

Dragon Master may, at first glance, appear to be another "OC goes out on his/her first Pokemon journey" fic, but it's much more than that. No cliches to be found in this fic, not even the required "New trainer meets up with Ash & Company". In fact, Ash doesn't even make so much as a cameo in the story.

Aside from her fic-writing prowess, Silvor is also a very kind person, one who doesn't suffer fools lightly but doesn't retaliate with sarcasm or insults. I'm really glad to have known her for as long as I have.
