Excerpts

[What is your favorite fanfic written by someone else?]: "Fortune's Favoured Child" by UK Jess.

[How did you get started writing fanfic?]: I started reading it on the net in the summer of 1997 and after reading only a few stories, I wanted to do it, too, but I was very hesitant. Finally I told a friend that I had these ideas for Star Trek stories. She said, "Girl, write them down! You are insulting your muse!" So I set up my old Mac SE on the dining room table and started writing. I thanked her by giving her a guest appearance in "Rain Check."

[What type of fanfic do you like to write?]: I would like to write all kinds of fanfic -- gen, het, slash, romance, comic, drama, action, filk, character study, you name it. I haven't covered them all yet and doubt that I'll ever manage some of them. Right now, I seem to go back and forth between comic pieces and more segments of my Kirk/Brandt series.
