Fanfic appreciation thingy day 3

FANFIC AUTHORS' APPRECIATION DAY (WEEK / INDETERMINATE PERIOD UNTIL I GET BORED / WHATEVER)

March 6 through March 13

Post to your LJ each day at least one of your favorite fanfic authors and why you love them, their work, and why they need more appreciation.

Two for the price of one today - nwhepcat and liz_marcs. They both write fiction that tends to be Xander-centric, but can actually do so without making him ridiculously powerful or denigrating the other BtVS characters, which for some reason seems to be the norm for Xander-fic. I don't think either of them has ever written a Halloween Costume story, which for Xander-centric authors is almost unheard of.

Hepcat's fiction is archived on her own site and I particularly recommend the amazing Lilac City, Postcards from a Kerouac Summer, and A Few Things Anya Knows (the Billy Pilgrim Remix).

Liz Marcs keeps her completed stories on fanfiction.net; my favourites are Into the Desert, Contrite Spirits, and the wonderful time travel story Living History.

I saw your name listed on speaker2customers fanfic author appreciation post and I had recognized the name when I was watching the end credits on Shaun of the Dead. There is a Marcus Rowland listed as the production designer.

I figured you might be interested . When I plugged my name into a search engine , I got a teacher with a lot of awards on it.

A couple of people have pointed this out - as far as I know I'm not related to the production guy. Searching on my name mostly turns up me and an American corporate lawyer.

Living History! Yes that was truly quite wonderfull even if i did think that it started going a bit downhill after about two thirds in.

Super Xander?

Easily explained - most male Xanderfans are fanboys who live their dreams through Xander, they can't identify with Angel and Spike, so they decide to make him stronger and more powerful than both, supremely confident, and irresitable to women.
