That was fascinating (I still love several of your B7 stories, that one about Blake pre-series especially is a favourite :)

I went the other direction, I guess... wrote some original (very, very slowly, I am a slow writer as well as being young and purple-prosey) but after discovering fanfic - and accepting that being me and being a professional writer weren't compatible - have found I'm actually happier with it for the most part (I have a couple of original ideas slowly formulating, but not enough to try and make something saleworthy of them...)
