Author has written 24 stories for Blakes 7, Ghost Busters (Real/Extreme), Airwolf, and Emergency. NEWS: On 2/14/2013, a new "Emergency!" story titled "Black Holes" was posted to http://www.markviifanfictionrealm.com/ All new "Emergency!" fanfiction will be posted FIRST to http://www.markviifanfictionrealm.com/ and to http://www.enfleuraged.com, and afterwards posted to AO3 and this site. I write fanfic for myself, because the actual writing of it makes me happy and feeds a creative need for me. I also tend to write fanfic when I've read all the stories I can find in a fandom and am craving more, or can't find the type of stories I'd like to read. I post the stories here and elsewhere in the hopes of eliciting feedback of what works well and what could be improved. A lot of feedback on this site often seems more about personal cheering sections and validation, but I really would like to get constructive criticism, for those of you willing to write it. In regards to constructive criticism, I personally have reduced the number of reviews that I write on this site, excepting those authors that I know are interested in genuine feedback, because (and I'm paraphrasing a fellow author here): 1) too many writers and their fans do not seem able to separate constructive criticism of the story from criticism of the author personally; 2) there seems to be less interest in getting input on how to write a better story than there is a desire for approbation (that's a direct quote. Sorry R). Guiding thoughts: "Writing a novel [or story] is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way." -- E.L. Doctorow. "The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug." -- Mark Twain "Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass." Anton Chekhov "If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." Toni Morrison Alternate pen names: I wrote under the pen name Morrigan in the Blakes 7 fandom and as P. Morrigan in the Real Ghostbusters fandom. Morrigan -- the Irish goddess of war, life (sex) and death -- is way too popular a name for me to use on fanfiction.net, thus I am Enfleurage here. I am *finally* getting around to setting up a web site (still somewhat under construction): http://www.enfleuraged.com/index.html which will serve as a central repository for all of my fanfiction writings. Fandoms: Blakes 7: Much of what I've written in B7 is published in print zines and therefore will not appear on this site. I'm willing to share and I'll probably dig out and post some of the older stuff eventually since most print zines are either OOP or largely not selling in this world wide web of fandom. If you happen to get your hands on a print zine, do try it, particularly those published by B7 editors. They are real editors and demand more than just a submission. They are also quite selective about what goes into their zines so it's quality writing and worth the price of purchase. Go to http://www.hermit.org/Blakes7/ to find some very good fanfiction writing, all of which was vetted by very good editors and deemed worthy of inclusion in a print zine. RGB: Some stories posted here, others posted on Yahoo groups Airwolf: The AW stories do follow something of a chronological order: "Middle Man", "Fathers and Sons", "ab ovo", "Achilles Heel", "What It's Worth," and there are references within each story to previous stories. The next story in sequence, "The Devil You Know," is still a work in progress and I won't publish it until it's completely written. Emergency!: is my new playground with 'Watch Me Burn' (Fall 2011) and "The Best of Intentions" (Winter 2011/2012). It holds up amazingly well for a show from the 1970s and the more experienced adult in me is impressed by the production values and how much money went into the location shooting. The writer in me loves the characters even more now than I did as a kid and is impressed at how well each is fleshed out. My Emergency! stories are also posted at http://www.markviifanfictionrealm.com/ The characters who drive the fanfic: Finds dark and brooding anti-heroes as irresistible as chocolate. Kerr Avon and Severus Snape are equally addicting. Have no idea how blond, quiet Egon from Real Ghostbusters caught my eye. Have had a crush on Archangel since childhood and he nicely fits the gap between blond and somewhat dark anti-hero. And then there is Wash, whom I simply adore, from Firefly & Serenity, which is an interesting evolution from anti-hero to beta hero. And somehow I've wandered from anti-hero back to Mr. Stand Up in Peter Burke from White Collar. Fortunately, what he lacks in a disregard for authority, he compensates for in sarcasm, a quality also found in Hank Stanley, Emergency's Fire Station Captain, who is very probably the source of my lifelong attraction to tall, lanky, dark haired men. The common factor: intelligence, wit, technical ability, being very good at what they do, a disregard for authority (for some), and sarcasm. I am registered as a Beta Reader for all of the fandoms in which I've written and several more with which I am pretty familiar. | |||||||||
