Excerpts
What was your first experience with fanfic?
I like the RPG Vampire: The Masquerade, and in high school I wrote a novel length saga of the vampire revolution and the destruction of humanity as we know it using the game and it's character profiles as a basis. I was a bored and lonely junior.
What was your first encounter with X-Files fanfic?
It's been so long ago, I can't remember, but I think it might have been the DDEB fanfic page (I like MSR, so sue me), then I got heavily into The Gossamer Project and the work there and from there found my way to SIS.
What are your top five all-time favorite stories?
Purple, by Journey to X. Trouble in Mind, by Western Rose, Red Valerian, by Dasha K. The Razorgirl Series and its sequels, by Trajan Dunn. The Complimentary Mints series and its sequels, by Perri Watson Lamana. No Longer Denied, by Keisha.
What was the first X-files/Skinner story that you wrote and what inspired it?
The first X-Files related story I wrote was 'The Only One', and that was MSR and not too great, but inspired by Melissa Etheridge. The first Skinner-centric piece was Aislamiento II and I have no idea what inspired it. I just fell straight from my brain to my fingertips with no stops along the way.
Where do your ideas come from? What inspires you?
I have a muse. Her name is Chloe-Ann. She's every bit as fictional as she is ethereally inspiring. She's a lot like Karen, the dingy receptionist on 'Will and Grace'. Occasionally, when she's around and not too plastered, she whispers good things in my ear and demands that I put paper under them. It only happens once in a while and I just go with it for as long as I can.
How do you feel about fanfic in general?
I love it. It's a testament to a great show that it inspires others to follow their creative juices to their logical conclusion.
