Some Excerpts
I've been writing since I was about 9 or 10. First started with songs, and then poems. I wrote a few short stories, many an unfinished novel and screenplay. At about 20 I wrote my first fanfic for "Twin Peaks" because a friend of mine had a 'zine and suggested I do so. That was my first introduction to any kind of fanfic. It wasn't until I discovered the internet and "The X-Files" fanfic world that I really began to see what a wonderful outlet it was for all of the different stories that I was constantly making up in my head about the shows/movies/couples I loved.
I haven't written anything lately mostly because -- and this sounds really, really terrible, but I get very, very little feedback. I do appreciate the kind words I've received from those who like my stuff -- but generally, my stories just don't seem to fly with the overall W/R group and, yeah, it's stupid but it does affect that ole' inspiration. As for "Waking Sound in My Time," I really am stuck as to where to go, but I've been playing with some ideas lately to unstick myself and if I latch onto something that works, I'll add some more to that cuz it will be inspiration enough. And I do want to finish it for those few who did really like it.
First and foremost - it's the chemistry, baby! That is what hooked me. Also, I've found I have a penchant for that older/younger thing - my last huge movie couple was Claudia/Louis from "Interview with the Vampire." Specifically to Logan/Marie - it was the connection they developed so quickly. It was the way Logan was so damn determined to help her, to save her, not just from Magneto's crew, but from her own worst fears. As hooked as I was by the stabbing/absorption scene, that train scene was just a killer - drawing me in completely. The looks, the words -- oh Lordy, the words -- "for people like us ..." "I'll take care of you." "You promise?" "Yeah, I promise." -- the look and lean, the utter rightness of the two just grabbed me and I was so a goner.
