When did you write your first fanfiction piece? What was it for?

When I was six. It was for Trixie Belden.

Did you actually post it anywhere?

There was no internet back then (reaches for rocking chair).

What series have you written fanfics for?

That I'll admit to? Anything from Star Trek and Johnny Quest to LotR.

Any Original Characters (ones that got named) that you had inhabit the series universes? If so- who/where? (yes, this is where we embarrass you by revealing your dark secrets!)

I have an alter ego character who jumped from universe to universe having adventures and then vanishing like the Lone Ranger into the sunset. Very useful -- all my MarySues rolled into one. Except she was fourteen and didn't have sex with anyone.

If you had the chance to have the original creator turn any of your fanfic into an actual real piece, which story would you choose?

Of what I've actually shown anyone? "Unlucky". Of what is hiding shamefacedly in drawers, a Doctor Who story with Harry Sullivan and Sarah Jane Smith.

Do you have any weird music quirks that help you write?

No. Sometimes I write with music and sometimes not.

What are common "themes" you hide in your stories?

The endless problem of having to take care of someone else when you hurt too much to move.

What are your favorite characters to write POVs from?

Third person, actually, in LotR -- with occasional dips into people's heads for drabbles.

What story of yours do you wish more people would read and love?

"Speed the Plough" -- which at least has the virtue of being a complete piece.

If you could pick a specific scene of your story to be made into a comic-book/doujinshi format, what scene from what fanfic would you pick?

see above.

And last but not least- Why do you like writing fanfiction?

Because it's fun! And I look at tv shows (or used to) and read books and always wonder what happened that they didn't show us, or after the end of the story.

Yes. I agree with you. :)

*tries to imagine "Speed the Plow" as comic*

*very big grin*

Which Trek's do you like? My first fandom was TNG and then Voyager. I tried to gack this, but then LJ went nutty and I lost my post, so I'll have to redo it tomorrow...

Thank you. *bows*

Can we get mucun to do the illos?

I want to see the expression on Sam's face when he wakes up enough to realize where he is...

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

The original series! I shall always have an unreasonable fondness for highwater slacks and velour shirts.

[lame-pegasus.livejournal.com]

I made a quick rush through mucun's journal - might be exactly the style to use (though I'm not a great Manga-fan). But she is obviously very skillful.

But the imagination - the imagination...!

*dies*

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

I don't really know of very many LotR artists, actually, and since the question asked about the doujinshi I kind of thought manga. And she actually seems to like Sam a lot.

But the imagination is good too...

mmmm

Wow, I thought no one else besides me even KNEW who Trixie Belden was- and her best bud, Honey!
my computer has been sick, so delayed in reading posts...glad to see you back, and hope the packing goes well. (hugs)

They're reprinting them you know... With the original illustrations!

Trixie Belden was one of my first book loves (after The Black Stallion). But the concept of fanfic didn't even occur to me until about a year and a half ago. What can I say, I'm a slow learner.
