Mute Cornett

Everything Tsukizubon Saruko writes is a gutpunch. It's original fiction, but before you run off screaming at that, it is not the lame "original slash" stuff you see around. Her characterization is so deep and so rich and three-dimensional, and her stories are-- they're like that song you used to listen to in high school that your friend put on a mix tape for you, and when you hear it again, later, after you've forgotten all about it, you can't quite place the melody but an ache builds in your gut. I don't know. I don't know how to do it justice. Everything she writes knocks me over.

We Are More is her most recent story. I also loved Canaan Falls and Wolf at the Door, but everything's good.

I wanted to "update" her look to 70s retro rather than awkwardly modernize her like the modern Scooby Doo stuff is doing. :3 (Man, when I was younger, you could barely watch cartoons without constantly running into Scooby Doo reruns. I eventually let them wash over me like white noise.)
