Author has written 42 stories for Sherlock Holmes, Life on Mars, Doctor Who, Phantom of the Opera, and Sarah Jane Adventures. I'm English, in my mid-thirties, and have been writing for almost as long as I can remember. Serving my fanfic apprenticeship with Doctor Who and then Hornblower, I have been publishing stories online for over ten years. My main fandom was Sherlock Holmes (the characterisation in my fics is based on Jeremy Brett and David Burke/Edward Hardwicke in the wonderful Granada series), but the Great Detective has in the last couple of years found himself superceded by the Phantom of the Opera after I saw the stage show and was completely blown away. My Phantom is a mixture of those I have been lucky enough to see live (John Owen-Jones, Peter Joback and Marcus Lovett), with a dash of Michael Crawford and a tiny pinch of Leroux. You won't find smut or slash in my fics; I hope to tell an interesting story to the best of my ability. CG. | |||||||
