Little Heaven Said
I first started writing fanfic about August 2002, after I stumbled across some on the internet. I'd been an avid writer until I was in my early 20's, but hadn't written anything for about 10 years. The idea of fanfiction immediately captured my imagination.
I love that the bizarre and creepy and tragic takes equal place alongside personal issues that we can all relate to, and neither seems more or less important than the other.
[My favourite characters are] Angel - because he's so complex (and hot!). Cordy because of her wonderful bluntness and lack of tact. Xander because of his heart. Spike because he always got the best lines.
[I am inspired by] Good music, violent weather, reading a really well-written story, the portrayal of intense relationships.
[Other writers I admire are] Starlet2367, Julie Fortune who writes for a multitude of fandoms, Yahtzee, and Rheanna are the four big ones.
My own favourite fics are The Case Of The Missing Santas: Really my only genfic, and about as close as I could get to the feel of writing a Season 1 episode. I just loved the characters at that time. Cordy while she was still snarky, Wesley while he was still a dork, and Angel totally bemused by them both and people in general. Deluge Done for a challenge, and it combined my favourite things - smut and wild weather. I just have an attachment to it I can't really explain. Ghost of a Chance Because I got to share the process with Starlet2367, which was a huge honour. And I liked what we did with the story. I miss Dennis. Waaaah!
I live in New Zealand, I'm married with no kids. I'm the wrong side of 30! I also vid and have just started writing for the Stargate fandom as well. My other passions are cross-stitch (though I haven't had time lately!), sport (spectator only), shopping, sci-fi shows, pet rats and budgies, and music.
