After playing in the stats section of my ff.net account, I realized, much to my surprise, there have been a few readers who have visited my profile. I've left this blank for more than a year because ff.net is a personal indulgence. I do it for me, so I wasn't too concerned with having a bio. Upon further consideration, I figure, what the heck; it'll be fun.

I firmly believe the true purpose of fanfiction is fill in the gaps left by a show/book/whathaveyou. Sure, all the other stuff is great--I especially love a good comedy--but one of the elements I consider to be lacking in many of my favorite shows is satisfying romance. It's not as though this is unique to sci-fi, my favorite TV genre; I find it lacking in most of my favorite modern dramas...though sci-fi tends to be particularly notorious. I confess, I don't get the people out there who gripe about there being romance in their sci-fi. Romance/being in a romantic relationship is as much a part of life as your job. Actually, as relationships go, wouldn't you say the one you have with your spouse/potential spouse is of equal, if not greater significancethan the one you have with your parents, siblings, children, coworkers, etc? So how is it good to have a show about adult characters that is so myopic as to not cover one of the basic relationships of life? Or to only allow for episodic, short-term romance? Anyway, the point is, I love fic that gives romantic satisfaction where the original story does not. I especially enjoy a good kiss.

I've read how some "anti-shippers" seem to feel those of us who enjoy a good romance do so out of a desire for it in our own lives. Such theories make me want to laugh. I've been shipping since I was a kid too young to worry about such things, and I still ship, though I am a happily married woman. Some of us just have more romantic hearts than others.

Mind you, I do not seek to ship. Actually, I prefer to avoid it because they're so darned fickle about such plot elements these days--making us think X and Y are meant to be, then Y and Z end up together. If they're going to stick Y and Z together, then why give us scenes that suggest X and Y when X, Y and Z are none of them fickle and X is eventually portrayed as never having been interested in Y? It's not like these things happen by accident. Every aspect of ashow requires countless decisions, from the words, to how they're said, to how and where they're lit and performed, to the set, props and music. If they can control everything, there really shouldn't be any untintended shipping. (I like to think it's mainly the fault of TV execs changing their minds.) Still, regardless of my attempts to not ship, shipping happens.

I'm also not one of those people so stuck in the groves of Western literary forms that I think every story needs a tangible plot to be good or worth reading. What rubbish! That's like saying every painting has to be Biblical or every sculpture has to make a political statement in order to be worthwhile. While such things are nice, I perfer not to limit myself, especially in a form as self-expressive as fanfiction. I write to satisfy my muses and myself. I share what I write because there are bound to be others who will enjoy it (I love that about ff.net--you're never alone). Likewise, I read the works of others for my own enjoyment, not to measure them by some arbitrary personal literary yardstick.

I don't know if I should list my ships or something, though three are rather obvious from my fic. Maybe later. In the meantime, thank you for your interest in me and my stories, and pardon me for getting on my soap box!
