Favourite music: choirs, especially children´s choirs, and most especially the Piccolo Coro "Mariele Ventre" dell´Antoniano, which must be the best children´s choir (age 4-12) in the world. Further: Zecchino d´Oro; Helmut Lotti (mainly his African and classical albums); the classical negro spirituals. Writing history: I´ve been writing stories for thirty years now; I started pretty much as soon as I learned how to read and write. Originally it was quite simple fiction, strongly reflecting my own life and the things I would like to do. As my taste in reading evolved, my writing followed: stories about girls at boarding school and about hidden treasures with bad guys eager to snatch them away for their own benefit (Enid Blyton!) were succeeded by fantasy and a mild form of SF under the influence of Harrie Geelen´s TV-series of Hamelen and Tonke Dragt. It was Hamelen that first got me into the writing of fanfiction, even though I didn´t know that word at the time. This wonderful series simply begged for an extra season towards the end. So I wrote down a complete storyline and a few elaborated scenes for another six ep season, and even though the story never really got written, most of the songs to be included (mostly new lyrics to existing songs) I still treasure today. A few years later, Zorro got me started on a fanfic in which Victoria finally puts 2 and 2 together and then starts to taunt Diego to agony with her newfound knowledge. But I only wrote the beginning, and when I recovered it a few years ago, I didn´t have a clue as how I wanted to continue. As a matter of fact, I still don´t. It wasn´t until 2005 that I discovered the realm of fanfiction on the internet. Recently having joined a yahoogroup on one of my favourite TV-shows The Flying Doctors, I was happily astonished to read all the stories in the group. But that was something I could do, too! So apart from an occasional return-detour into fiction, these past few years my writing has been strongly dominated by fanfiction. The biggest heap has been based on The Flying Doctors (an Australian medical adventures series with some real and some hinted romances; what more is there to wish for?), but later on I even engaged in a new Zorro-story and lately – originally spurred on by co-betaing Eva Seifert´s Theater of War – in quite a few stories around Hogan´s Heroes; a fanfic-category that has spoiled me thoroughly, since both readers and authors there are so prompt and professional in their reviews. That makes it sometimes hard to finish the stories I start on other shows, like Road to Avonlea and Katts & Dog, where the response is much more scarce. Since I have a habit of letting interesting character developments from one story trickle down into other stories, I think a little reading guide to some of my Hogan´s Heroes stories might be in order by now. Especially when it comes to the stories concerning Corporal Langenscheidt, in what has been called "The Corporal Chronicles" by one of my readers. Chameleon Fever is the base for all my stories concerning Langenscheidt. If you´ve read that one (even though it´s not finished yet), your knowledge of Langenscheidt´s relations will provide you with a good view of the other storylines as well. There is however no reason why No Silent Night can´t be read separately. But without previous knowledge of Chameleon Fever, you will - like Hogan and his men - be left with a little mystery in the end there. It was that little mystery that got some of the readers of No Silent Night to get me to write a sequel: The Mystery of the Love-Struck Corporal. As with No Silent Night, it can be read without previous knowledge of Chameleon Fever, but I assure you this one is far more fun if indeed you are acquainted with Chameleon Fever! The flashback in chapter 5-8 of The Pied Piper of Hamelburg shows the same Langenscheidt from Chameleon Fever, though since we mainly see him through the eyes of an "original character" there, there is no explanation whatsoever about his change of character. So far, for this story knowledge of Chameleon Fever is definitely recommended! Sigh. Originally, when I started Chameleon Fever, I had no intention to write something like The Corporal Chronicles. But the plot-bunnies just keep multiplying! | |||||||||
