Excerpts

What was your first story? Do you still like it?

My first S&H story was an intense h/c called "A Time for Change", published in a multi-media fanzine in 1991. Though I like it as a h/c story, the writing quality is a major cringe. It was based upon a fantasy I'd replayed in my head a thousand times as an adolescent, when the series first aired, so when a zine editor talked me into doing a story for her new multi-media series in the early 90s, I finally decided to put that fantasy to paper. It turned out to be a real struggle, because I'd "thought" the story so intensely for so many years, that actually writing it felt like repeating myself for the thousandth time. So, writing it felt like a chore, because nothing about it felt fresh to me.

What is your favorite story that you wrote, and in the fandom?

I like a lot of them, for a lot of different reasons. Some of that comes out in the series of self-interviews I've done on my Livejournal, though those haven't covered all my stories. For now, I will pick out "Water Tower", posted in 2011, as some of the best writing I've ever done. But my pride and joy is the ongoing "Adventure " series, which has over twenty stories, and counting.
