Jane St Clair is a prolific fanfiction author in a variety of fandoms.
She describes her start as a Trek fan in The Making of a TOS-er, a piece that was originally posted at Trek Smut University.
An article about slash fanfiction from 2000 says about her:
Considered one of the best younger authors of slash, het, and general fanfiction out there, Jane St. Clair takes on Star Trek, The X-Files, and even the gay-themed indie flick Velvet Goldmine (1998), about which she says "because stealing from Oscar Wilde isn't just a pastime, it's an art form."[1]
Fans Comment
Jane St. Clair was on the Best New Author ballot [for an ASC Award], but I'm happy to rave again about what a wonderful writer I think she is. Her work moved me last year more than any other writer, and I was inspired enough to establish a web home for her amazing work. Her way with words is amazingly graceful and sensual, and I always come away from one of her stories feeling overwhelmed. [2]
Ooh... Jane writes stunning J/P. Beautiful, moving, evocative poetry (you can't call that kind of breathtaking mastery a mere 'story') that tugs on the heartstrings. She even made me *believe* P/T in "Sleepers (with feet)", not just enjoy the story as happens with so many other good P/Ts. It's such a pity she's moved on to TOS... but I guess that just means I have to read more TOS. [3]
