Some Excerpts
I was one of those people who wrote stories in my head. You know, what would have been, had they been written, ff.net Mary Sue fodder. I didn't start writing until the Stargate fandom, and that was mostly snarky little stuff and humor fic about donuts. My WR is pretty rough in some places, as I was on my learning curve.
I knew about it for a long time, knew about 'zine culture. I started reading online back in 1995 with a show called Space: Above and Beyond. I knew a number of writers in Stargate, but WR was the first fandom I saw the movie and immediately went to the computer and did a websearch for wolverine/rogue fanfiction. It's one of the fandom's great blessings that the WRFA has managed to live (and thanks to Devil Doll, prosper) so long.
I think it has the most to do with the fact that fanfic is where we write the story we'll never ever see. Since we'll never get the porn, it's pretty natural to write and share it. We'll never see our ship living together in the day to day, having comfy morning sex, or after the battle sex, so we have to do it ourselves. As to being a 'specialty' - no, I don't think of anything beyond humorously offbeat to be my forte.
