Some Excerpts from the Artist Part
I was inspired by Eng, an artist in the Highlander fandom who has since done some illustrations for AngelWings Press. And then there was Killa. Between the two of them -- there was no way I could resist trying to come up with my own interpretations of things. Besides, I always enjoyed the graphics side of things, so for me, it was a natural progression.
I can't draw for squat. I leave that to K-9 and Geli and all the other wonder artists. So I guess that leaves me doing manipulations only.
Everything is on my site. I've had piece appear in AngelWings Press zines and have additional pics to appear soon.
I'm always doing more. I'll *never* be done. <g> And Blair will *always* have long hair. LOL
Some Excerpts from the Author Part
Ooohh, that's hard. Slash? Or fanfic in general? Slash--from the tender age of 3 watching Kirk and Spock and not understanding the women paraded on-screen for Kirk because he already had his love, (I kid you not), and then there were Starsky and Hutch--need I say more? Or if you mean *writing* fanfic, I'd have to say I was inspired by Quantum Leap, but never put anything "out there" until Highlander.
[How did I discover TS?] That's easy! Highlander. More specifically--Peter Wingfield. That and the SOS banners plastered everywhere. Then there was this wonderful little piece called "Three Little Birds". I was hooked immediately.
Blair--all the way. His voice, his attitude, his intelligence, his giving heart, his dance moves <g>, his hands, his eyes, his care in worrying about Jim, his commitment to the sentinel project, his bounce--everything. But I love Jim too. For just as many reasons.<g>
[Threesomes?] No. But I did write one once as a crossover with Highlander--Duncan specifically. I prefer Jim and Blair pairings only. I just don't *see* other sexual dynamics like Blair/Simon and just can't go there. I prefer the J/B exclusive. I doubt everyone in MC is gay, <g> So I tend to keep other things as canon as possible.
