Reccer's Notes:

[archiveofourown.org profile] isquinnabel doesn't have a heap of works out there, and what works she does have are for small fandoms, but oh. Every word she uses feels like it absolutely belongs there; like every word is chosen with care. Her characterisation is amazing. She manages to do a whole lot without making it seem like much at all. She gives wonderful, memorable voices to minor characters.

Her fics are subtle and quiet, but they have impact and weight. She just writes so beautifully.

Favorite Fanworks:

LOST:

One Flew East, One Flew West: A close encounter at a highway rest stop in 1987. They’re 16 and 19, they’re both unhappy, and they’re not at all ready to meet each other.
A beautiful fic, showing a neat, subtle connection between Sawyer and Juliet before they even know each other.

Chasing: A Sawyer/Juliet encounter, about 15ish years pre-island. Set in a time when Damon Lindeloff's "Sawyer's powers don't work on Juliet" comment was still true.
Great Sawyer voice, and an encounter I can totally buy.

Why Do You Always Weep and Frown?: It's 1977, and Juliet & James exist in two places at once.
A lovely, clever fic about James and Juliet knowing each other during both the 1977s they live through.

THE BABY-SITTERS CLUB:

Nail Polish: A Personal History (by Claire Pike): For an extra credit assignment, a high-school aged Claire Pike authors a series of autobiographic vignettes.
(Full disclosure: this one was written for me.) [archiveofourown.org profile] isquinnabel is the master of the drabble. She can spin 100 words into something profound; something epic. These Claire drabbles are no exception - each one is so Claire - so much said in so few words.

How the Seedlings Feel: The end of Summer draws closer and, as always, the Pikes head to Sea City. For Margo, something about this year just doesn't feel right.
Amazing, amazing fic. Things seem almost tangible. The author captures, perfectly, what it's like to feel lost within yourself as you try to navigate that rocky road from childhood to adulthood.
