Jane Carnall is a Scottish fanwriter and editor who started writing, and even fan publishing (the slash and gen multimedia zine "touched") when she was still underage.
Her first fanfiction was published in E-Man-Uelle.
She's known for a rather dry writing style, and for almost never liking the usual OTP of a fandom -- in Star Trek, she was a Spock/McCoy writer, a fan of Bodie/Cowley in The Professionals fandom, and a wrote Avon/Vila in Blake's 7.
Carnall was also known for unusual crossovers, long before they were common: Cowley/Illya, Blake/Spock, Spock/Avon, and others.
Notable Works
- Changing, the first Blake's 7 femslash story
- Two-up Truly Queered -- a Pros circuit story responsefic to a story called Two-up by Jane of Australia, done as a response to the perceived homophobia of the first story.
- "touched", the zine -- a mm zine, more overtly political and lesbian than usual for zines of the time -- also, published at a time when zine editors frequently inveighed against zine pirates, it was known for being "copylefted", free to copy.
- Far from all intentional ill-doing (The Charioteer)
- The Fox and The Wolf trilogy in The Professionals -- a Bodie/Cowley series (Lest These Dark Days, This Classical Dilemma, and As Games Are Played), followed by a circuit zine of outtakes from the series, by Jane, but also by others, called Woven Patternings.
- Look Through My Eyes -- a get George Cowley story
- A Man of Integrity (Spock/McCoy)
- Married Dance (Highlander/ST:TNG/The Persian Boy)
- MirrorM*A*S*H (referenced in Ellen Fremedon's Id Vortex post)
