Excerpts

What made you start writing stories? Had you written fic in other fandoms?

I stumbled across fanfic also though the magic of the internet. I only have two zines. (PS the history of zines is fascinating.) I read everything I could find for about a year before I decided - hey, I can do that. I've written a drabble for "River," a couple of things for "Sherlock," and a MFU crossover with my partner in crime, Mvernet. I hope to write more in other fandoms just because it's fun.

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

I'll list a couple stories I wrote that I really like, but for different reasons. I like "No Limits" even though it's probably a dumb story, but I wanted to show how the relationship between Starsky and Hutch affects the people around them - how it's a magical thing that has a life of its own. Love like that never dies, just keeps growing.

I like "Death Be Not Proud Redux" because it allowed me to weave together all my favorites scenes from the series as well as play with an outside POV, which is one of my favorite things to do.

I also like "A Bit of Fluff" (which is only on StarskyHutch911 I believe) because it was so much fun to write. It's something else Mvernet and I wrote together and we kept switching between laughing and crying as we worked on it.

There are so many fabulous stories in the fandom. It's nearly impossible to narrow them down, so I'll just go with some of the earliest stories I read which I can say "changed my life." "The Thousandth Man" and "A Fine Storm" by Suzan Lovett, "Decorated for Death" by Jill Ripley and "Under" and "Someone Kneeling" by Salieri. I go back to them again and again.
