Author has written 33 stories for Titanic, X-overs, Red Dwarf, TV X-overs, X-Men, SeaQuest, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, StarTrek: The Original Series, Misc. Tv Shows, and Knight Rider. My name's Steff. Or Steph, depending on how you like to spell it. I'm twenty-eight years old, I've been married for nine years, I'm the mother of two beautiful children and the stepmother of two very good boys. I'm a freelance journalist. (That means I get paid to write, yes.) I'm living in the Northeastern corner of this slightly dreary, occasionally downtrodden state of Ohio. I don't take anonymous reviews. If you want to get ahold of me, and don't want to sign a review, then e-mail me. Hm... what else is there? I'm obsessively protective of my right to free speech. I'm a harsh but fair critic. I used to write a column (The Journey), hosted here and on FictionPress. I'm the owner and maintainer of fic_simplicity on LiveJournal. I am an occasional participant in the alt.startrek newsgroups, and on fandom_wank. I own the (gasp!) quality-controlled Star Trek Fanfiction Archive Ad Astra. I'm also a pretty friendly person, believe it or not. So if you ever wanna shoot the bull, or just ask about the weather in NE Ohio, give me a shout. Most of my newer stories and artwork can be found on my LiveJournal. I don't use FF.N for publishing anymore, so if you have any interest in my newer works, you can browse there. You can find all of them here. Warning re: Laura Hale (also known as Michela Ecks, purplepopple, halegirl, and partly_bouncy): You don't want to deal with this person. She has been known to publicize personal information about people who get on her bad side. She is trying to build up her wiki (by, among other means, scraping ff.net profiles and reposting them there) so that she can get venture capital and eventually sell it to marketers who want to target fandom. Please don't visit or edit the wiki.

Having gained four wonderful eBooks by four of Trek fandom's finest for '09, which are in production now, those of us working on the Trek Twelve Days of Christmas for 2009 are now calling for the second round submissions. Here's the deal: What we're looking for... What you get in return... So, please feel free to send a letter of interest, and we'll work from there! If you want to have a look at the work from last year and the year before: If you'd like to volunteer your services, this year the fiction portion of the Twelve Days is being coordinated on the Google group dedicated to it, and on Ad Astra's Forums. This year, we will also be putting together a fanfic-centric eFanzine, hopefully covering all series (new and old), with fanart, fic, articles and various other goodies. So, if you've ever been interested in editing or producing professional-grade fanworks, feel free to join us! | |||||||||||
