Some Excerpts
Watched [L&C] to some extent from the beginning. It was a real dilemma right at first. I was a longtime fan of Murder, She Wrote, and then all the sudden there was a new show to watch Seaquest DSV!! Oh, and some superman thing...whatever... <g> I began getting my M,SW fix on USA during the week, watching Seaquest and taping Lois & Clark, but a lot of times wouldn't get around to watching L&C, so I would just tape over it. (Thinking back now -- ARGHHHH!!!) I was not online at the time, had never heard the word FoLC -- I was an avid Trekker and Leaper, loved Beauty and the Beast, and McGyver -- and slowly I began to realize that Seaquest was not all that great, and L&C ...was! By the middle of the second season, I was watching regularly, having given up completely on Seaquest. But I was still not a FoLC --that didn't happen until I discovered LOISCLA, and more importantly, fanfic.
Having always written, without necessarily always having an audience (other than my mom), writing for a built-in audience was definitely appealing. It's also interesting to write with established characters, in an established universe -- your readers already know the relationships and the general setup, so you can get on with telling your story.
Round Robin? I really enjoy the repartee in the chatroom while writing a round robin -- I love seeing a comment from the peanut gallery affect the direction the story is going. But I confess that these days, I rarely have either the time or the patience to see a story through from beginning to end -- they are certainly time-consuming. I'm also really pleased to see how much the chatroom round robins have grown up -- from "The Banana Story" which was the first chatroom round robin I ever read (and really, truly bizarre) to "The Tai" which is an extraordinary piece of writing -- I am in awe of the participants of that particular session!
