Excerpts

I think I started writing fan fiction, oh, when I was about... nine. I actually wrote - by hand, since this was long before I had a computer (or even a typewriter) with which to write - fanfic for Galactica 1980, which was a sequel, of sorts, to the original Battlestar Galactica... Oh my, yes. I've been in Star Wars fandom forever. I've been a Trekkie, on and off. I very much enjoyed the Brokeback Mountain fandom experience, though I've gotten away from that one. There's SG-1, of course, though I've never written for it that I can recall. I've written - hmm. If I stick to what I've ever posted online, we have Star Trek Voyager (Tom/B'Elanna), Brokeback Mountain (duh =)), Gundam Wing (Heero/Duo), Star Wars (Qui/Obi), ummmm... SGA, of course, though we're talking about other fandoms. Oh! The Potterverse, can't forget that. I'm a fan of Harry/Draco, and occasionally Harry/Snape. And I've occasionally dabbled in other fandoms as well, but only tangentially and not as an author.

I absolutely, wholeheartedly adore Rodney McKay, for one. =) I'm quite sure that a lot of that comes from the fact that David Hewlett is just the most adorkable person ever. I've been a fan of Stargate since the original movie - I saw it three times in two days, in the theatre. =) When SG-1 first started up on Showtime, I watched it religiously. I actually didn't start watching SGA when it first came on, but when I did start watching, I was hooked instantly. The dynamic between John and Rodney is fantastic, whether you see them as a couple or as team-mates and friends. The universe is fun. =) And, well, the fandom is just amazing. And then there's the fanfic, with the hot sex, err, I mean with the great storylines, the fanart, the awesome people... yeah. What's not to enjoy?
