Author has written 17 stories for Thunderbirds, Gilligan's Island, and Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. Hello!! I'm a 29-year-old woman who is unashamedly in love with a puppet. That's right, folks, I write for Thunderbirds, a show I've loved since I was a wee nipper. I do find that I mostly write Gordon-centric stories, but occasionally I will force myself to write about other characters. At the moment, though, I'm writing a multi-chapter Gordon/OC story called Home From The Sea. I suppose you could call it a romantic type story but it's just a bit daft and silly at the moment. There'll be some angst coming up soon, but right now it's just a lot of fun to write and I'm more than happy with that!! I also write (rather less frequently than I'd like) for Gilligan's Island. If you're unfamiliar with the show, I can highly recommend it. It's probably the best US sitcom of the 1960s. Possibly even beyond then. It's basically the only time I'll really unleash my soppy, romantic side and write Professor/Ginger (aka Pinger) stories. Bob Denver who played Gilligan is frankly one of THE most amazing men to have ever lived. This is true. I've written one story for Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman, called Heart of Gold. It's a romantic tragedy which I wrote mostly just to see if I could do it. It was hard work and a bit distressing in places to actually write, but I'm very proud of how it turned out in the end and I was delighted that it gave long-standing, die-hard Dr Quinn fans a chance to see Preston A Lodge III (the baddie that everyone loves to hate) in a whole new light. I'm a comedy writer by nature, and most of my stories will quickly lapse into the ridiculous. I love making people laugh and most of the time that's more than enough for me. Sometimes I worry I'm unable to write anything else and I'll experiment with slightly more dramatic stuff (Heart of Gold was a complete departure for me, I've never written anything like it before), but you'll invariably find that I write silly, pointless stuff purely with the intention of making people chuckle. My dream is to write comedy for a living, and one of these days it will happen - the law of averages says that not EVERY letter can be a rejection letter!! I really hope you enjoy my stories, and if you have any thoughts or comments please feel free to get in touch, either by leaving a little review or by PM. I love hearing from people and I'll always reply to all reviews and messages, even if it takes a day or two!! Thanks for stopping by! | |||||||
