I often wondered what Robinka would do if she would meet Tolkien. I know her as a very avid Beleg fangirl, so I think that meeting will be very interesting. With Stigma’s Robinka writes the person who killed Beleg and she works out the seven sins in that piece brilliantly. But I have seen other works written by her in which Beleg’s demise is explored or if not corrected in an AU version. ‘The last leaf to fall’ is a work for example, in which she grandly explores how a wife of Beleg would be affected if he died. With this story, but more of her works, I am always moved deeply in how she so greatly writes stories that have a drama-perspective by using story techniques to bring across her story in a great and touching way. Her writing feels very natural and it simply captivates you from the first to the last word. I often told her that her story ‘last leaf to fall’ would do great on its own as an original story, so who knows. English isn’t Robinka’s native tongue, so I know personally how hard it can be to write a story in English, but her talent simply shines through in every challenge or bunny she choses to write, despite this hurdle.
