Writers you admire meme

Apr 30, 2008 01:28

Hi! I could use cheering up, and I am sure other people could as well. Or even if they don't, I seriously doubt anyone ever minds being complimented on their writing. So I am going to tell you which fandom writers I wish I wrote like (feel free to substitute different types of writers or vidders or whatever floats your boat), and not in a "Wow, I suck" way, but in a "These people are really awesome, and I admire them a lot" way. Please tell me about people you admire! Or, better yet, post this in your own LJ and hopefully make someone's day.

I love thuviaptarth's gorgeous prose and ability to slide in and out of unreliable narrators. I also love that even though she writes jeweled Gothic stories with sharp edges, she can also write delicate and oh-so-wistfully bittersweet and adorable as well.

I love etothey's prose as well, the way there are so many things left unsaid and hinted at, the glimpses of the intricate clockwork of plot. I love the way things look in her world, everything just slightly off, slightly different from this one, and infinitely more interesting and marvelous.

I love how edonohana writes, sharp and snappy and funny and vivid. I love how she captures the absurdity and humor in situations and thoughts, and then makes a sharp turn into heart-wrenching emotion so you're laughing and wincing at the same time.

I love how rilina_fic gets into characters and finds pieces of them that you never really thought about, the way all the details in her writing accumulate and give things a weight and significance.

I love how minnow1212's work just sneaks up on you and then worms its way into your heart, how her characters are so human and complicated, each containing worlds.
