Fanfic Author Appreciation Week, Day 3
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 one who dabbles primarily in the Marvel and DC animated universes.
Rurouni Tyriel
Graduation is RT's final foray into the universe of X-Men: Evolution and his "Evolization" of the Dark Phoenix saga. It's pulled off very well, with the Phoenix manifesting as another surge in Jean's powers and no sign of the Shi'ar or any other alien races. Just plain ol' XM:Evo goodness, along with a couple glimpses into the future thrown in.
What I like about Rurouni Tyriel's work is that it feels like it's actually a part of the universe that he's writing in, something that is sadly lacking in a lot of fandoms. For example, this fic, one of RT's JLU fics in which we see what the other superheroes on the Watchtower were doing while GL, GA, Captain Atom and Supergirl were battling that robot. It's just a fanfic but RT's writing style and characterization (especially that of the Flash) are so good that you wish it could be animated into an episode.
I could go on about RT's other works, such as his other JLU one-shots, his Teen Titans fics or his "Evolizations" of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, but then this entry would get long and it would just clutter up your friends list.
