Some Excerpts
Short stories, novellas, a novel, a script, and a vignette. Immediately after completing "Cupid's Crossbow," I moved into the X-Files fandom. I've written for The X-Files, Babylon 5, Due South, and I've done some midrashim (the Jewish practice of writing stories to fill in the plots within the Bible verses). I've also tried my hand at Scarecrow & Mrs. King, Doctor Who, and The Lone Gunmen.
I had a desire to explore a situation with the characters that I would probably never see on the screen. I thought I could tell the story reasonably well ("A Chief Dilemma," my first fanfic was in the L&C fandom, a gentler one that most!), and so I gave it a shot. I love transcribing the magic as I see it in my mind's eye. I swear that my best stuff is just me transcribing what I see playing out in front of me-I really don't feel like it is creativity coming just from me, per se.
Their innocence and their humor. There's something so sweet about their relationship, since it is a first in the history of mankind, and the TV show was for families, so there wasn't a lot of useless premarital sex and swearing. I loved watching the evolution of the characters.
