Sophia Jirafe Said
I've been writing fiction as long as I've been writing (see Molly's Christmas for an example of my early Princess Phase), and found fanfiction in early 1999.
X-Files was my first true fannish love, but times passed, the show declined and wise friends lured me into Season 6 of Buffy, where I promptly and embarrassingly fell head-over-heels in lust with one William the Bloody.
I got over it mostly, but not before I wrote a couple of Spike pieces. No Need for Lucifer to Fall and The Ghosts of Saturday Night. I still love Spike, though, and also have room in my heart for dear departed Tara, sharp Anya and sweet Dawn. Buffy is the one I care most about in the end, though, at times when I don't like her much. No one else reaches me in quite the same way.
Recently (as of 03/17/03) my writing has taken a turn for the very short, but I rather like my odd little Willow/Giles piece with the lights out it's less dangerous and my very little slayer-in-training piece Thousand Yard Stare.
I don't expect the fandom for me to end when the show does, since I never properly moved in from the X-Files fandom in the first place, so May will probably still find me typing away in my void. I've nattered on about writing original fiction from time to time, but nothing ever comes of it. I like playing with other people's toys too much.
Not having properly moved in means I couldn't even begin talk about the other writers who have have influenced or inspired me, since I've mostly sampled from an enormous buffet of delicious fic according to momentary pairing whims, but it would be terrible of me not to mention here my better half, the lovely and talented lover of Faith Jintian. Read Ready or Not...it's hot and I got to beta. *g*
