Maxine, also known as maxinehouse, is a fan writer. She started writing fanfiction in February 2002 in Star Trek: Voyager fandom.
Fandom History
Maxine wrote in 2003:
One night in August, two years ago, I was bored and surfing around Yahoo groups/clubs when I stumbled upon a group that bragged Star Trek: Voyager 'fan fiction'. I had no clue what this was, but I loved the show, so I figured what the heck I'll check it out.
This group's stories revolved around the 'romance' between Captain Kathryn Janeway and Commander Chakotay.
I spent a month reading every story I could find, then quite by chance I stumbled on to a story by Cassatt, this story involved Commander Chakotay and Lieutenant Tom Paris. I'd never thought about reading anything where two men were intimate, boy was I floored! I had discovered slash. Then I was hooked! I found archive after archive filled with stories about these two men.
Eventually I joined a yahoo group that centered around Chakotay and mostly Paris. I was in SLASH HEAVEN.
In February of 2002 I decided to try my hand at writing a story and posted it. I was hyper, fearful and near fainting with worry that I would be told to step away from the word documents. I wasn't!
Since then I have penned 10 stories in the Voyager fandom alone in various length, one in the Harry Potter fandom, and am in the process of complete my third collaborated story.[1]
She wrote around mid-2002:
I'm fairly new to the whole fanfiction idea. Less then a year of reading and writing well only about 4 months. I'm an avid Voyager fan, although I don't agree with how TPTB handled most of the series. I read C/P slash, I write C/P and A/K slash. I'm in the middle of a major undertaking with another author on that front.Recently I was introduced to HP/SS slash and am now hooked. Just finished a HP/SS story with my friend Leone.[2]
