Birthday rec
Aug. 9th, 2012 07:45 amSo, in case you didn't know, today (well, yesterday for those in Europe) is a very special person’s birthday:
The wifey's!
And, in true Hobbit fashion, she doesn't expect gifts, no, she's the one giving them.
Auburn has posted her new story, Intelligent Designs.
And what a story it is. Magnificent, superb, sweeping, engaging, touching, thrilling, smart, witty, snarky and just sparkling with love for the characters.
In true Auburn fashion, it's not just any old story, it's a crossover between Fringe, White Collar and Chuck. No, you're not reading that wrong. You think that sounds unlikely? So did I when I first heard her talking about it, but, remember, this is Auburn, and if anyone can make this work, it's her. And, boy, does she make this work. I had the joy of watching it grow, and the more it grew, the more excited I got about the time it'd be finished. Now it is, and, boy, what a ride it is!
The cast is huge, and yet she manages to deal with all of them without forgetting anyone. The characters are wonderfully human, and though I know next to nothing about Fringe, those characters in particular felt well-rounded to me.
The story itself is Auburn's speciality, the heady blend of drama, action, angst (come one, you know Auburn, she's the queen of well-written angst), hurt/comfort and horror.
It's science fiction. It has government experiments,clones, mad science and espionage.
But most of all, it has engaging characters, characters you care about and a plot that will have your heart in your throat until the very end.
It's a truly outstanding story.
So, what are you waiting for? You know you want to read it. And leave her feedback, of course. :o)
