Silver Queen is well-known fanfiction author in the Naruto fandom. She's from New Zealand and joined fanfiction.net in 2002. In 2011, she started writing Dreaming of Sunshine, her longest work to date. She's also written fic for Yu-Gi-Oh, InuYasha, Harry Potter, Spirited Away, Batman, Buffy, Star Wars, Alex Rider, Infinite Undiscovery, Sky High, Star Ocean. Before late 2011, most of her works were one shots. Her sister often beta reads for her.[1][2]
Notable works
Silver Queen's noteable fanworks are all tied to Dreaming of Sunshine. In addition to writing, she also has often drawn Shikako, scenes from Dreaming of Sunshine, and related characters, as well as vidding Naruto and a variety of other anime together to create AMVs that explore what Naruto might look like if Shikako, the main character of Dreaming of Sunshine, were actually present.
Her art has had a definite effect on the fanart produced by the Dreaming of Sunshine fandom, especially when she draws and posts things that haven't occurred in the fic yet, such as Shikako getting sage mode.

Blanket policy and recursive fandom
Silver Queen encourages and enjoys recursive fanfiction and other fanworks of her work. On her fanfiction.net profile, she has the following blanket statement:
NEW: Regarding DOS Fanfiction:
A few people have asked for clarification on this issue, so here it is.
- Yes, I am fine with people writing things in 'DOS-verse'.
- You don't have to ask for permission first.
- Please let me know so I can read it and archive in the Heliocentricism community.
- Have fun.[3]
Silver Queen maintains a community of recursive works on fanfiction.net at the Heliocentrism community, and a sister collection exists on AO3.

You've got a wonderful way of making me care about characters I don't care about. [4]
