Biography
I became a feral fan in 1966 at the advanced age of nine (TOS, of course), but didn't discover organized Fandom until May 1997, when I stumbled into Syndicon, had a religious experience and saw God. I had been writing drawerfic since 1967, so fanfic was a natural next step. I started writing it almost immediately, but didn't have the nerve to publish anything until a year later. I'm still at it, and plan to keep at it until I get it right.[1]
