Fanfic Author Appreciation Week, Day 5
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.
The author du jour is Cybra, writer of many fandoms who is currently ensconsed in the Codename: Kids Next Door fandom.
The first of Cybra's works that I came across was After The Falls, a Great Mouse Detective fic wherein Basil deals with the news of Holmes' death after the events of The Final Problem. It's told from the points of view of both Basil and Dawson, and features Watson in a supporting role. The rest of her GMD fics are a treat to read as well, from her adaptations to her humor fics.
The Secret is one of Cybra's forays into the Hey Arnold! fandom. Cybra's always been good at keeping the characters she writes about in-character, and even giving them deeper characterization in some cases. This fic is one of the best examples of that.
Cybra's dabbled in other fandoms, such as Yu-Gi-Oh and Code Lyoko, but her current interest seems to lie in both KND and Kingdom Hearts. Remembering Buckleberry Row is one of my favorites and Cybra's partial explanation for the origins of the Delightful Children from Down the Lane, and why Sector V is always being targeted by one villain or another.
And finally, saving the best for last, there's Cybra's "Journey of the King" trilogy, chronicling the life of King Mickey. The first installment, King's Ascent, takes place before Kingdom Hearts and details the beginning of Mickey's problems with Ansem and the Heartless. It's something of a lengthy read, but it's a fresh change from the plethora of KH fics that treat Riku and Sora (and sometimes Kairi) as if they're the only characters of the game.
King's Exile is the sequel to Ascent and Cybra's current WIP. With only three chapters so far, Exile is Cybra's take on what King Mickey was up to during KH. So far it promises to be every bit as excellent as Ascent is. Personally, I hold it on the same level as Lord Akiyama's Fantasia Crisis series.

I love you.
... In a platonic way of course.
In any case, Darwin bless you, Fanfic Author Appreciation Week, and you Iap, for following it.
