FanFiction.Net - unleash your imagination| Ironbear |
Author has written 14 stories for Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Buffy X-overs, and Blade. I'm a custom computer builder and web admin from Dallas, Texas and former admin/host of Radio Free Ironbear. I've been writing fiction - albeit not necessarily writing fanfic - since around 1986 or so. I started writing fanfic in various genres around 2000. Most of my earlier (pre 2006) fan fic will never see the light of day, anywhere. I chalk those up to "learning curve" and make sure they never wander off of my hard drive. ;) At the moment, I write predominately in BtVS and Angel, both crossover fics and non-crossovers. I wrote predominately Gen fic, but there's some romance in it because hey - relationships are a part of life. I just don't focus on a 'ship as the main plot. Favorite characters: Faith, Cordelia, Xander, Doyle, Ilyria, Blade, and Wesley. Giles keeps growing on me as well. I have to admit to a sneaking liking for Spike as a character just because that accent is so much fun to write, but I'll seldom write Spike as a good guy, souled or unsouled. Favorite Ships: Cordelia/Xander, Faith/Xander, and Faith/Cordelia/Xander. Current Ambitions: As far as writing, I hope to be NWHepcat when I grow up. Since I don't plan on growing up, that's going to be difficult... Stories and Series: I'm currently working on two ongoing series - The Roadverse Series, set in a post-Chosen BtVS crossover alterniverse; and my Nightwatchmen series, set in an AU BtVS timeline starting just prior to Season 3. Plus whatever one-shot fics strike my muse and demand to be written. Roadverse is Faith Centric. Nightwatchmen is Ensemble Cast, and Faith, Xander, and Cordelia centric to a large degree. Eventually, all of my current fics will be posted here. In the mean time, the Roadverse stories can be found at Twisting the Hellmouth: "Oh the people she knows" series One Shots: Twelve Black Roses Roadverse Stories: aka "Oh, the people she knows... " AU BtVS Season 8: Faith quits the emerging New International Watcher's Council following a disastrous breakup with Robin Wood, striking out on her own. The Roadverse stories chronicle her adventures and interactions with the various people she meets along the road of a journey of self-discovery that will take her through the oddest places and into a world that's been forever changed by the Slayer Awakening spell and the coming events of "Not Fade Away". Not even remotely adhereing to the "canon" of the Season 8 comics. Anything for Love... Alt BtVS Chronicles: Night Watchmen series - AU BtVS Season 3: When events transpire a bit differently over the summer following "Becoming", Faith arrives in Sunnydale much earlier following her Watcher's death. A fairly simple event that has long lasting repercussions as the gang fits themselves around a new Slayer during Buffy's absence, and Faith attempts to adjust to the dynamics of the odd little band of demon hunters she's fallen in with. Xander/Cordelia relationship, and Xander/Cordelia/Faith friendship spread out over a planned season's worth of stories. As of "Pearls Before Swine", the Night Watchmen series is co-authored with Richard Caine, author of the excellent Dawn-centric "Aurora" chronicle. Nightwatchmen 1a: "Boys (and Girls) of Summer" Nightwatchmen 1b: "The Chicago Way" Nightwatchmen 1c: "Bones of Contention" Nightwatchmen 1d: "Silver, Blood, and Gold" With more to come... | |||||||||
