Fanfic Author Appreciation Week Day 7, Part Deux
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.
My second author for the day, and last author of the week, is another good friend of mine. She currently goes by the name Higuchimon on FF.Net, but she's better known to me and anyone who frequents DiFWy or remembers an old PR message board called the Angel Grove Youth Center as Cynthia.
Cyn writes mainly in the Digimon universe, with Power Rangers and Yu-Gi-Oh tied for second place. Like everyone else Cyn has her favorite pairings that she likes to read and write for, but one of the things I like about her is that she respects all couplings. If she has to give reasons for why she dislikes one pairing, Cyn does it logically and doesn't resort to all the frothing at the mouth that a majority of rabid fans are prone to do. In fact, sometimes it's her use of logic while offering constructive criticism on a fic that causes other authors and theirsockpuppets friends to froth at the mouth ;)
Victory Is Sweet: If there's anything Cynthia could be said to be truly good at it's fics that fuck with your mind, and this fic is concrete proof of that. Never at any one point during this fic does the reader know more than Daisuke does, and what Daisuke knows is questionable. Is the Kaizer really the bad guy here? How can you be sure? ;)
Another thing I admire about Cyn is that she respects all characters, and tries to make them as in character as she possibly can in her fics. And that means including all the growth they've accumulated over the course of the season/series. A good example would be Omisoka. At first glance it's a simple fic about the Tamers celebrating New Year's. But everyone is in character: Ruki hangs out with her friends willingly, yet her personality is 100% intact; Hirokazu's a bit of a goof but he's not an idiot, and secondary characters such as Kenta, Shiuchon, Ai and Mako actually exist.
Looking over all of her written works, it looks like all Cyn writes are romances, friendship and adventure fics. But she also has a sense of humor, and I can think of no other work that exemplifies that than this one. I won't try to summarize it or even give away the title. I'll just warn you to make sure you're not consuming any foods or liquids while reading this piece.
Well, that's almost it for Fanfic Author Appreciation Week. I've still got one more thing up my sleeve for this, but I won't be posting it until sometime tomorrow. So, until then y'all!
