Fandom History
She started in fandom in 1993 on the STREK-L mailing list. Member of the Siddig El Faddil Estrogen Brigade and the STWTTF for a year or two. Her first major fandom was ST:DS9, followed by Highlander, and became a fannish butterfly pretty quickly. Known originally as Shelley Wright, she changed her name to Kronette after seeing the Highlander episodes Comes A Horseman/Revelations 6:8. She was a member of fan clubs for Siddig El Fadil, Valentine Pelka, and Robert Duncan McNeill. She ran the official website for Valentine Pelka [1] (don't remember the years) and created the official Fan Club newsletter The Actor's Palette, producing the first three issues (from what I remember).
She joined LJ in October 2003 and copied that over to DW twice, the last being December 2015. She now participates mostly on tumblr.
Fanzines
She created two fanzines, Doctor Julian Subatoi Bashir, This is Your Life! and Doctor Julian Subatoi Bashir, This is Your Life, Too!. These were gen zines and were given to the actor by her at his fan club gatherings.
