kascheIn the end, yesterday I lacked the time for everything, not just the entry. I have to learn my way around the schedule. :P
So.
Today, it's Liz Time. :D (Also Known As![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mrsronweasley.) I found her by chance, when I was already beginning to abandon the Azkaban Lair... The vast majority of the stories I read there had more or less the same plot (with the due changes in relation to the period, of course), the same style, sometimes the same words. Then, I found Mint, and I started gaining more faith in the world. (I'm only half joking, here.) The story had personality, verve, featured one of the funnies (and crankiest, too... :D) Remus ever and had me glued to the screen from start to the end. I reread it I don't know how many times. From then to reading everything else she wrote, it was only a matter of when I would have been able to get online.
And then, she goes and writes Go Down Laughing. I think I still have the ending of that story as signature on Fiction Alley. There are only two James' pov stories I liked, and this is one.
Even if, I have to say, her best ending is in ...how at my sheet..., the story she wrote for the first wave of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
celticmoonstar. Ok, here I wanted to explain why it struck me so much, but I don't know how I could do it without spoilering you the story. (It's still the ending, after all.) I guess you'll have to take my opinion at face value and believe me, when I tell you that it's amazing. And very musical, too.
At this point in time, I made the mistake of reading her entry and, well, she said everything better than I could. So I'm quoting her and no, I feel absolutely no shame about it. Because "what's really impressive about Liz is that she keeps challenging herself as a writer. Some people--present company very definitely included--get into the habit of writing the same story over and over again; Liz has never done that. Whether she's writing a first-time story with a delightfully drunken Sirius ("Mint") or one in which Remus and Sirius tease each other with a series of increasingly hilarious letters ("Revenge by Any Other Name"), her light-hearted stories explore different aspects of the characters' relationship. Fandom tends to take angsty pieces (which Liz has also written masterfully, most notably in the Remus post-1981 story "A Prayer to Unbelief") more seriously, but it is really challenging to write the so-called "lighter" stories. Liz always nails the right mixture of humor, emotion and, erm, sex."
I hope I'll get around to do at least another one, today, somehow... you know, I sort of fell behind before I started. ^^;
