This author is not content with occupying your mind with their stories; they also want your heart. Amazing depth of feeling and empathy for the characters each and every time. Absolutely wonderful.

Her Muses are worth a moment's read even if there were nothing else going on in a fic - which is never the case! Roxotaku's language is always straight-forward and deceptively simple. You think you're just going to read a few pages of one of her fics and then  - boom! It's 2 hours later...

If that's not talent, I don't know what is! :)

Also her characterizations are very permanent; no matter what situations they find themselves in, the character's are always like old friends, come back around in new hats. I happen to like that. It's a sliver of reality in fantasy; real people tend to behave within the confines of their personalities, taking very few strange tangents along the way. Real life is indeed predictable.

But this author takes the best qualities of that predictiveness and makes each fic like coming home to old friends. At least when Lyris is the one calling the shots....lol
