Some Excerpts

Deep breath...I am a K/S fan. Have been for twenty years. Over a year ago I meet a wonderful community of online writers and artists. I was in slash heaven. So I started experimenting in K/S writing, drawing, and photo manipulation. Recently, I have had my first artwork accepted for a K/S zine.

During the school year I have little time for television. So this past summer it was a pleasure to have some free time for the first time in awhile. I had stumbled on TS fanfic in my search for K/S. So when I saw the program advertised on the Scifi channel I decided to watch. I was trapped! Now I have all episodes taped. I can't get enough of the online fanfic. And at Shoreleave this past year I purchased enough zines to keep me in Sentinel heaven for awhile.

Currently, I am focusing on screen mix and matches. As I feel more comfortable with the characters I will probably try my hand at drawing. Although Suzan Lovett will have nothing to fear. ;-)

During Shoreleave I decided to start collecting art pieces from various zine artists that I have admired over the years, such as TACS, Deeb, Butler, and Lovett. My favorite picture is in the corner of my room. ;-) It is a drawing by Shelley Butler entitled "Insert Fandom Here". The work focuses on the lower half of two male lovers, leaving the heads to the viewer's imagination.

Again...it would have to be a mixture of the marvelous zine artists for the past twenty years. Also, I am amazed of the fantastic work done by the current online artists, such as Shar. I think the most exciting thing is that for the first time...that's due to the Internet...anyone and everyone can contribute and display what talent they have, no limits are set. With that said we are seeing an explosion of artistic creativity. The work of slash zines twenty years ago was daring. I believe they paved the way for what we can share today. So my thanks go to all the prior fanfic artists and writers.
