Jun. 13th, 2007 11:16 amAbout a mouth ago I discovered the rather awesome talent that is ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
selenak and I made a note to myself that I would keep an eye on her, because anyone who could write such stellar Nathan/Meredith (Folly) obviously had an ace up her sleeve. However, you know I get distracted easily – see: sparky77 and Beard!Porn (you are not off the hook!) -– so, I forgot about her until a few days ago when someone somewhere mentioned that selenak had written impossibly blinding Candice (with Angela and Peter and post S1 speculation), and I read Illusions.
At this point I said to myself, "Self, I think we have a live one here!" and then I read Campaign Secrets (Bridget Jones style-crack at the Petrelli campaign offices) and was totally enamoured. And I thought that was the hat trick. I was converted!selenak for President! Until I read The Worst Lies, which is Simone and Issac and Nathan and Peter and that whole arc and my brain stopped, because Selena managed to breathe life into a character nobody I know likes, and while she didn't make me like her, she made me understand her. She made me empathise and anybody who can do that deserves your adoration. So, go, read her work, tell her how awesome she is.
