Excerpt
# What's your nickname/pseudonym?:
Babs Bunny. I've had that nickname since grade 8.:) Though on the Trek ship I'm on, the USS Maximillian (http://www.maximillian.org yo!), my character's name is Overload!
# Which is your favorite fandom?:
Fandom? Does cartoon fandom count? I'm big on WB cartoons like Tiny Toons!:) But as for standard Media Fandom, I don't really have a fandom as much as I have a favourite character. And that well-loved character of course is none other than Data!
# Do you write in other fandoms than your favorite? If so, which ones?:
Hmmm...not really, no, though once I tried writing a Real Ghostbuster's fanfic. Didn't work as well as I was hoping though.
# Do you read in other fandoms?
Ah, sometimes! I read a lot of Real Ghostbusters fanfic, and I occassionally will read a good K/S story from time to time. But for the most part I just stick to stories starring Data.:)
# Are you an OTP person?:
I dunno. One one hand I feel that Data's a stand alone character and other than a few canon situations here and there is pretty much mateless. Not only that, I usually stay away from gratuitous amounts of yiff with Data because, well, he's like a little kid in some aspects. I don't really see him paired up with anyone....though I have been dabbling in D/La as of late...*blush* So I guess I'm half OTP?
# Are you a writer or an artist?:
Both, though I'm more artist than writer.
# Do you only write online or do you write for zines as well?:
I do both. Though writing for zines is a recent endeavour of mine.
# What kind of stories are your favorites?:
Something with a good fast moving plot that gets the characters down really well! Sex/slash is optional because hey! Regardless of the content, a good story is a good story, right?
# Least favorites?:
Mary Sues. I hate those. I also don't like rape stories. Or stories that put Data into any real danger. Gratuitous use of "Purple Prose" will usually turn me off, as well as surrounding Data with vast amounts of angst. (Hey, I'm protective of the little guy!)
# How did you get into fan fiction?:
Oddly enough, through Duran Duran fandom!:) Duranies have a pretty decent creative streak! (http://there.indyramp.com is their Trekiverse, so to speak. DEFINATELY a must see site!)
# Are you a slash fan?
Honestly? I'm not sure. I think slash is more intriguing than het, but maybe that's because I'm an effeminate, gay man trapped in a woman's body!:) But I'm not one of those people that watches a show and then immediately starts pairing all the same sex characters off with each other.:)
# If so, how did you become one?:
Again, Duran Duran. Slashing John Taylor with Nick Rhodes is a favourite over there!:) And some of those folks can write really well!
