Writing style

Prudence Dearly says of mizface's due South writing:

"[She] does pretty much everything: snippets, mid-length fic, commentfic, kink memes, crossovers and longfic. miz works the advantages of each category to the full. This versatility is definitely a strength, as is her world-building in the longer fics, and her ability to squeeze bucketloads of emotion into the short fics."

Notable Works

due South

• A Winning Hand (Fraser/Kowalski, PG, AU). mizface isn't afraid to take the characters to dark places, and she does so subtly and convincingly. Other key features of the story: the world-building, which reflects both study and insight; the gradual development of a warm, convincing relationship between Fraser and Ray Kowalski; fun cameos by the supporting cast. This world is very appealing.

• With Apologies to Poe. A remix of Poe's "The Raven", written for ds_flashfiction's "spooked" challenge. Not only is it spooky as per spec, but miz's pleasure in the writing is evident in every line. Podfic read by luzula is at the Audiofic Archive: With Apologies to Poe (audiofic).

• The Function of Life is Survival. miz works the snippet like a pro, condensing a thousand words of disquiet into a mere 300. Warning: those words are counted as 300 unsettling words.
