Some Excerpts

In 2002, I saw Queen of the Damned, which prompted me to reread the first three Vampire Chronicles books. At that time, I knew of fanfic, but I'd only read a few random stories here and there and wasn't really into it at all, but for some reason I decided to search for VC fic, and got hooked. I started writing a month or so after that, and I haven't stopped since. I was pretty much monofannish for about a year, then drifted into RPS and started writing a bit here and there in other fandoms as well. I started writing HP almost exactly a year ago (well, I had written one HP fic before that, but I only posted it to my journal and didn't do anything fandomy with it, so I don't really count it.)

[my writing inspiration]: It depends on the fandom, but I find with HP, I'm mostly interested in stuff that can work with canon, rather than writing AUs (though I do have one persistent idea for an Sirius/Remus rentboy AU). Because I'm mainly interested in writing Sirius and Remus, there's a lot to explore without canon interfering, since we only see a small portion of their lives and only through Harry's POV. Okay, that sort of went off on a tangent, but um, inspiration. Basically, I'll get ideas here and there for things I want to explore. Sometimes they can be directly influenced by canon, like with Sleeping with Ghosts, which was an idea I had ever since reading HBP, and sometimes they're more vague.
