Interview
It's below the cut.
1. How long have you been writing fan fiction?
1999. Not long after May of 1999, which is when The Phantom Menace came out. Yes, George Lucas made me a slasher.
Or maybe it was the way Obi-Wan strutted across that hangar, weapon in hand.
Although my first story was Luke/Mara, and I did not just confess that in a public forum. //waves hand// These aren't the droids you're looking for.
2. Have you participated in any other fandoms?
Highlander was my next big fandom after Phantom Menace. I didn't discover it until after the show had ended (Atlantis was, for me, the first time I wasn't late to the party), but I loved Methos and Duncan with a deep passion. I can still recite entire scenes worth of dialog.
When I finally ran out of things to say about Duncan and Methos, which was incredibly sad, but I still love them, I played in Smallville for a bit. Loved the premise, loved Lex, never warmed up to Clark. Then I found SG-1, mid-way through season seven, like I said, always late to the party. Loved Jack, liked Daniel, but it wasn't the kind of love that leads to more stories than you can count. But I met Grrrl there, and was thus primed for the joy that is John and Rodney.
Along the way I've written one or two stories in a number of other fandoms--Buffy, Dr. Who, Torchwood, Wiseguy, Brisco County Jr., original BSG, Heroes. I think that's it.
I also don't write strictly male/male slash. I write a fair amount of femslash, mostly Buffy and SGA, and I've even written het for Atlantis, which is a rarity for me.
3. What do you enjoy most about SGA and/or SGA fandom?
The characters and their relationships to one another. Atlantis, for me, is a show that's emotionally satisfying.
And I never, ever get the urge to pull out an intro bio textbook, fly to Vancouver, and beat Cooper et al, about the head and shoulders with it, while saying, "Evolution doesn't work like that, you twit."
Nope, that is something I never, ever want to do.
4. Why did you choose to join Team Angst/Team Romance?
Romance makes me happy.
5. Where can interested readers find more of your work?
I have a website on slashcity, but it hasn't been updated in ages: http://chelle.slashcity.org
The more recent stuff is on my LJ, tagged by fandom.
So that's it. Not terribly interesting, I'm afraid.
