Author has written 32 stories for StarTrek: The Next Generation, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and StarTrek: Voyager. First and foremost, I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to write a review for one of my stories. I've never had much feedback before, so it really means a lot. Thank you very much! All through the 1990s, I was excessively hooked on fanfiction. Star Trek fanfiction, to be more precise. I spent whole nights reading story after story, and eventually wrote my own. Due to the loss of my website some years back, they hadn't been available online anymore, so when I found this site I almost immediately decided to dig them out again. Most of them fall into the "romance" category, although I've occasionally strayed into different realms as well. I started out by re-posting all my old stories and also finishing up the 'With a Little Help' Series (ST:VOY) which came to an abrupt and incomplete end back in the year 2000 (for which I am still terribly sorry!). I had a lot of fun going back and picking up all the threads, but I'm also glad that it's finally done. Now I can turn my attention to all the other story fragments and ideas I found while digging up old files. Some of them look really promising, and I hope to turn them into complete stories eventually. I am also pursuing new ideas, so there will be more... I hope you'll enjoy reading my stories just as much as I enjoyed (and still enjoy) writing them! :-) Currently in the works: - VOY: a "Resolutions" story (about time too, since I started it way back in 1998) - I decided to extend it all the way through "Basics", so it'll still be a while before it's ready to be posted (some time in 2013 I hope) - I was also hoping to sneak in a few more SMK bits (now that I can finally watch the season 4 DVDs), but so far only one idea has struck. We'll see... | |||||
