Dynamic fiction with beautiful art, October 24, 2015

Women come to her when their husbands stray. She accepts not crude cash, but things of beauty. She will fix them- for as long as they live.

The Fixer is linear, but a delight to play through. Emelumadu paints a city where spirits and humans mingle; where believing in mysticism is common sense and practicality. She merges the absurd with the filthy; the beautiful with the pragmatic.

Emelumadu’s writing is rich with flavour and beautifully detailed, even when she goes into sordid detail of a certain character. Her writing moves from being initially subtle - from hinting at the narrator’s identity - to exulting in the narrator’s strange abilities.

The Fixer also uses graphics throughout the story, though I didn’t listen to the audio, and the story art is gorgeous and unobtrusive. A delight to read.

Do you mean "dynamic" as a description, or in the sense of "limited interactivity"?

I guess I'm thinking about 'dynamic' in the way that Caelyn Sandel refers to dynamic fiction - limited influence on story outcome, but a story which is read by having the reader interact with the text.

Okay, makes sense. The reader doesn't affect the story, but there are lots of minor branches and extra text that is optional.
