As a 21 year old South African 'chick', currently finishing
off a degree in
Journalism, I find that writing fan fic assists me in stoking my creative
fires, as well as allowing me to play with some extremely hot women.
Figuratively of course. I started writing fic after I missed an
episode of
Buffy and surfed the Net to catch up, stumbling across
the foreign
concept of 'fan fiction' and clicking to see what it
was all about.
After reading Dreiser's "It Starts With Faith" series,
I was hooked, finally
bringing me to the realisation that I do have an addictive
personality.
I started writing a few weeks after that and never turned
back. I'm a fervent
Faith/Buffy shipper, and even though I admit to writing a crapload of
NC-17
stuff (or as Miss Kitty calls me "The Porn Queen"), the dynamic of their
relationship is what fascinates me. I am 109% positive that they
had a far
from platonic relationship on the show, and I have taken it upon myself
to
explore every nuance of this concept.
I don't stick to a specific genre of fic, choosing to
follow wherever the
mood takes me, such as "Life, Love and Other Catastrophes" (total
romanticism), "Truth" and "The Morning After" (total PWP) and "Can't Not"
(total angsty songfic). The reason for my foray into different styles?
Two
words:
Eliza Dushku, Goddess of leather pants and bedroom eyes.
Not only is she
the most beautiful creature to ever hit the entertainment industry, but
she
was the only one who had any tangible chemistry with Sarah Michelle Gellar
on the show, and this is a testament to her talent as an actress and her
*growl* utter sensuality.
While I do write for myself, I am a self-confessed applause
whore, which is
a strange characteristic for a Virgo to possess. But then again,
I've never
claimed to be normal, so if you read my stuff, please encourage my habit
by
mailing me and "Tell me you don't get off on this!"
"I have measured out my life in coffee spoons" said
T.S Eliot. Add some
nicotine and alcohol to that mix and you have me.
Enjoy the fic - it's a Slayer thing :)
