Excerpts
Britta: Well, I've been a fan since day one--only joined 'fandom' about thirteen years ago.
Karmen Ghia: What Star Trek genre (TOS;TNG;VOY;DS9;B5) have you written the most in? Do you think that will continue or is the grass starting to look greener somewhere else? And if so, where?
B: I write VOY. I doubt seriously that I will write in any other. I think it will continue--I hope so. For me, there is no other grass greener than this patch.
KG: I know how that is; I don't ever see myself writing outside of TOS. What was your earliest story?
B: I began writing only because I ran out of things I wanted to read. Having just discovered the 'net and inhaled everything there I could get, I felt compelled to write something *I* liked better than the stories I could find. I'm kinky--so sue me.
KG: I must be kinky, too, because that was part of my motivation as well. What writers, slash or otherwise, do you feel have influenced your slash writing?
B: All of them. I mean it, each and every single one have taught me something valuable.
KG: Do you have any thoughts or feeling about K/S?
B: I owe my passion for slash to those two. In fact, my favorite is a trio story called "In Triplicate" which is K/S/Mc--that might be why my first stories were trios--only they were C/P/K in Voyager.
KG: Is "In Triplicate" a zine story or is it on the web somewhere?
B: It's a whole zine.
KG: Do you have any thoughts on the future of Slash on the Web?
B: All I can say is that I want more of it.
