Some Excerpts

The X-Files series had ended and I'd read loads of great fanfic, but it never occurred to me that I might be able to write anything myself. Then I got a silly little idea, which a group of us wrote up (online and unbeta'd) at the Haven Fanfic folder. No one threw brickbats, so I tried a small challenge on my own. Like Alice, once I took that headfirst plunge there was no going back to an unaware reality.

My first reaction is to say that my favourite story will always be whichever one I'm working on, because the excitement of bringing an idea to fruition, no matter how inept, is what sparks my interest. If I have to choose, however, there are three that spring to mind. Whose Work Has Come to Nothing was my first serious and lengthy (in terms of process) story writing effort. None So Blind was my first casefile, and I learned an enormous amount from my beta. And although I only wrote a small portion of Jabberwocky, it was so much fun to be part of our collaborative group.
