Rabidsamfan delves into our favorite characters and fleshes them out thoughtfully. She has the gift of writing voices suited to age and experience, so that each character has his or her own way of speaking and acting; there's nothing generic here. Whether she has wizards under her fanfictional microscope or hobbits, there's no mistaking one character for another. She can also write to a variety of constraints--her drabbles are wonderful, for she is able to condense a lot into that one hundred word moment, and her language is both elegant and spare (of necessity). But she can also take the time to develop the situation in longer stories, and she does so with care. Her work is definitely recommended!

Rabidsamfan has got to be one of the finest drabble-writers in any fandom she cares to inhabit. In the space of 100 words, she spins a complete thought, sometimes leaving the reader smiling, sometimes shaken, sometimes haunted with a bittersweet feeling that lingers long after the reading.

Rabidsamfan has a way of drawing characters and their relationships that brings them to life, as if they might step off the page. Great attention to detail that makes the reader feel that all five senses (and sometimes a sixth) are fully engaged.

Rabidsamfan is especially skilled at revealing characters thoughts and emotions and turning them into excellent stories!

As always, RSF writes hobbits in a way that makes them feel real. In both her stories and her essays she extrapolates from what Tolkien wrote to create a tale or essay that feels genuine.
