Helen is a popular slash writer who has written fanfic in several fandoms. She is also known as Helenish (her livejournal account name).
Fannish History
Speranza recalls:
- When Helen arrived in Sentinel fandom, she was initially controversial due to her lack of capitalization and odd. use of punctuation; she often used a period in place of a dash or a pause in dialogue - It didn't take long for people to figure out that this wasn't some inexperienced newbie, but someone who was genuinely experimental with prose: who knew the rules [and broke them anyway].[1]
Influential Works
- The Same Inside, popslash, with its much imitated opening line, "Somehow, in the night, Chris had turned into a girl." [2]
- Take Clothes Off As Directed, Stargate Atlantis. Queries aspects of the BDSM AU genre.
- Theft of Assets, Destruction of Property, Harry Potter. Subverts aspects of the marriage of convenience/forced marriage trope.
- Patience, a Steady Hand [1], Inception. Subverts aspects of the slavefic trope.
