I have always thought that there are two kinds of authors: The Faulkner's and the Hemingway's. The Faulkner troop is uses flowery, flowing language and heavy on metaphors. The Hemingway troop tells a story through plain speech and simple descriptions. Dyrad is definitely a Hemingway and she does it better than most fan fic authors. Her writing doesn't try to explain itself, she simply tells a story and lets the reader make the connections (if any).

If you like her short stuff you'll love the longer stuff.
