Home State or Town: San Diego, CA
Hobbies/Interests: Writing fanfiction, obsessing about all things "Dawson's
Creek" and Kevin Williamson
Favorite character and why: Pacey. No contest. Killer sense of humor,
extremely witty, intelligent, not afraid to say what's on his mind. And it
doesn't hurt that he's pretty damn cute... ;)
Character you most identify with and why: Pacey again. =) The exact same
sense of humor. It's eerie; one time, I cracked this joke in class and a few
days later, I hear it coming out of his mouth on the show. Of course, maybe I
shouldn't have said the joke with my teacher within earshot... ::shrugs
sheepishly:: Oops. Also, he has that insecurity we all have about ourselves,
that we'll never be good enough. How can you *not* relate to the guy?
Favorite possible storyline: If you've read any of my fanfic, you know that
I've been rooting for Pacey and Joey to get together since Day One. =)
Why did you write this series? What did you hope to accomplish? I wanted to share my imagination and my hopes for the show creatively. =) And
also create my own little warped version of Capeside. ;)
Thoughts on:
James -- Seems like a very sweet, sincere person. There's also this
awkwardness and slight dorkiness that makes him adorable and hard to dislike.
=)
Katie -- Also seems very sweet and sincere. There's also something very
innocent and fresh about her... must be the all-girl Catholic school. =)
Michelle -- Intelligent, definitely an "old soul." You can also tell that she's
very honest and means things when she says them.
Josh -- Intelligent, charming, witty. The ultimate Gemini. =) The DC cast
member with the most entertaining interviews.
Kevin -- The spokesperson of our generation, the John Hughes of the 90's, the
newly-crowned King of the Teen Scene, my inspiration, my personal "Spielberg."
=) Need I say more?
Thoughts on:
Dawson -- Tragically nice, a bit naive and insecure. Very ambitious... "Most
Likely to Succeed."
Joey -- Analyzes everything, very cynical. Also very ambitious... "Most Likely
to Get Well-deserved Revenge at the Reunion for Succeeding."
Pacey -- Just like that one guy who plays him, he's intelligent, charming, and
witty. Not lazy, just lacks self-esteem and has given up on himself. An
amatuer philosopher. "Class Clown."
Jen -- Wise beyond her years. Misunderstood. "Most Likely Not to Show Up at
the Reunion."
Thoughts on this award: Very cool. =)
Thank yous: Kevin Williamson. Without him, none of this would have been possible.
Literally.
To my "editor" Eunice and my "fan club president" ;) Cecilia. All the
Creekers, namely the "pajos" (Pacey-Joey romantics), who read the series and
actually found it moderately enjoyable =) ...and for telling me so; the
support in form of compliments encouraged me to keep writing, and still does.
=)
Readers' Thoughts
really liked the Once in a Lifetime series by Rae.
I liked how Rae incorporated both the set of characters
from the 90's and the set of characters from the 50's
and made them feel the same emotions. It just goes to
show that although many things have changed over the
last 4 decades, Love is one constant in our lives. -Melanie C.
rae--i enjoy the cross generations thing, it amuses me much -Allison
The Once In A Lifetime Series by Rae. It's unique, original, and
well-written. It's a really cool idea how their lives were the same in
1958 and 1998. It's a great story. -Rachel
The series starting with Blast from the Past by Rae .. I love how she
juxtaposes both time lines -Theresa
Rae's Blast From the Past
I enjoyed this story because it seemed so real and I can't wait to see how
Pacey and Joey play "Romeo and Juliet" -Candace
The Once in A Lifetime Series by Rae- I love the concept -Omolara
Once In A Lifetime Series By Rae. I was cool how the story went through
flashbacks with Pacey and Joey and other characters that went through what
they did forty years ago.
