Nifra Idril is a fanfiction writer who was active circa 2003 to 2006. She posted her first due South story in 2004 but drifted away from the fandom after about a year.

Writing Style

Nifra's due South stories are primarily Fraser/Kowalski with some great gennish character pieces. Sageness describes her writing as:

"[…] full of poetic constructions, vivid detail, and musical sensibility. I could get happily lost in her word choice and the flow of her sentences, even while an economy of words keeps her stories mostly around flashfic length. Her character voices are dead-on, and her RayK is wonderfully matter-of-fact. The way she writes yearning between people is, for me, palpable and delicious."
