Comments by the Author

"I discovered another list a while after that, a list that purportedly had exclusive stories there written by some of my favourite writers – Jael Lyn, Dawn C and others. The list was Sentinel Angst. I needed to read that fic, I needed it like burning! But to do so I would have to pay ‘dues,’ ie a story of my own. Despite my reticence it was too tempting a prospect, I really wanted to read those stories! So I looked through the bits of fic that I’d been writing, trying to see if I could come up with anything that might not be too embarrassing to post. Having found something I thought I might be able to knock into shape I joined the list, intending to stay just long enough to get my sweaty paws on the locked stories. If all went to plan, I’d only have to come up with one story for my dues, then I’d be able to unsubscribe.

For my dues, I posted a short little missing scene for Cypher: I Can Be You Oo Oo. It was terrifying to post it; nerve-wracking and exhilarating, like jumping out of a plane. Despite the fact that I'd been scribbling stories down in notebooks compulsively since childhood, It was only the second story of my own that I’d ever shared with anyone in my life..."

Reactions and Reviews

I am really bad about sending feedback to authors. Essentially, I don't. But, back in November of 2003 I sent the following to a new member of SentinelAngst about her first fanfic story:

"Well done! I like how you capture how early Blair and Jim were in their relationship - friends already, with some shared experiences, but still feeling their way."

The author, Fluterbev, is now one of the best known in TS fandom. The story is an excellent example of the TS fanfic sub-genre known as the 'Cypher Missing Scene.'
