Some Excerpts

Since I'm not able to write a single line of fanfic (really, be glad I don't) I needed something to express how I see the characters and the chemistry of the show. And of course, since TPTB refused to show us Jim and Blair in bed or not even really hugging I started manipulating pics. ;)

In Germany TS was on TV, but I missed it (darn me). I came across a page with links to fanfic for different shows. And I tried TS fanfic, even though I hadn't seen an ep before. My first story was 'Buried' by Tapu, she got me hooked on TS fanfic and when the re-runs started on German TV I watched for the first time. Took me some time to get into slash. Saw a pic of Starsky and Hutch at an online friends place (meeting her for the first time in RL). Asked her: Uhm... I know these are S/H, but.... what are they doing? She blushed, gave me a story and said: Just read.... It wasn't really slash, heavy smarm I would say. But anyway, after my first S/H slash stories I searched for TS slash.... and was so pleased with the amount of stories (and the quality)...

Same as with writing, I cannot draw :( Tried it once, but the result was poor <g> So I use my 'puter and different graphic programs to create what I like to see. Even though that is difficult because the results depend on the pics I find on the net. It is too bad to have a beautiful Jim to play with and not the right Blair pic to add....
