I was a co-founder of several fan-based mailing lists and once a proliferate poster to a.s.c. (some of the earliest Picard/Crusher fic ever posted in an age when boys were posting action stories), back in the day before Teh Intarweb. I wrote a loooooot of fanfic between '92 and '96 under my real name (who could forsee web archives!), and then some sporadically after that, none of it published anywhere. So it's nice to see that I perhaps haven't lost it. :)

Currently I'm obsessed with Mark Darcy (as played by Colin Firth) in Bridget Jones' Diary. I am thankful for the creative inspiration that this fandom has given me. (And did I mention Mark Darcy? Sigh.) Slightly less obsessed with the sweetness of Jim & Pam on "The Office" (US), but obsessed all the same. And you never really forget your first fling (Picard / Dr. Crusher, "ST:TNG". :)

FAQ

Since I've been asked: I am not in fact British! But thanks for the compliment, those what asked—it totally made my day.

Also, I do not post or publish works I have not finished—though I will occasionally write sequels :)—so what you see is all there will be (unless I decide to expand the ending ::grin::). The reason is that oftentimes I will be struck with inspiration well into the story (this happens ALL. THE. TIME.), and if the majority of the story is already posted, then I'm kind of up a creek creatively.

And last but definitely not least: thanks, everyone, for the lovely reviews. If you don't have an account here, please at least leave an email address. I promise not to spam you.
