"...is my favorite SM fanfic author. While I don't always see eye to eye with Chris, I greatly enjoy his stories anyway. His greatest strengths, in my not humble at all opinion, are threefold:•Firstly, his ability to peer inside the heads of his characters and explain what they think, how they think, why they think it, and what it makes them do.
•Thirdly, Chris has the ability to walk in the darkness without being blinded by it. His ability to portray the darker side of human existence makes the lights that shine in his stories that much brighter. This is a strength I don't have. My stories are fairly bright and shiny, and if she could write, Usagi could easily have written most of them, which is probably why I like her so much. One way in which Chris' stories are much stronger than my own is his ability to portray darkness without being overwhelmed by it. He is never gloomy for its own sake, but rather because darkness too is part of the world."[1]
•Secondly, the strength of his vision. Inch by inch, story by story, Chris has crafted a great saga that runs through many of his stories, and all of them express clearly his vision of the universe, both as it is and as it is in the worlds of his fiction. He is never obscure, pointlessly confusing, 'tricksy', or otherwise caught up in his own importance as an artist. I don't always agree with his vision, but it is epic in scope and highly creative in an often mythic fashion. He has a passion for world-building, and the worlds he has built are fascinating, with a sense of depth to them, like his vision of Silver Millenium era Mars in one of his Panorama stories.
