Keira Marcos is a latter-day BNF in Stargate Atlantis fandom. Her stories have won multiple awards,[1] including 1st-place winner in the series category for the McKay/Sheppard Fan Awards in 2008. Multiple fanartists have created fanart for her stories.
She has a run a multi-fandom challenge based on National Novel Writing Month since 2011 called Rough Trade (formerly Naked NaNo). She also helps run the Quantum Bang challenge with Jilly James. Additionally, she is credited with popularizing or creating the fandom event Evil Author Day, which occurs annually on February 15th.[2][3]
She prefers not to see unsolicited concrit of her writing,[note 1] and gives other writers limited permission to use ideas and concepts from her fanworks.[5]
She has been criticized for perceived misogyny in one of her works (the Tangled Destinies series[6]), unrealistic portrayal of BDSM, and what some fans see as OOC characterization.
