Where it all began...

I first discovered the wonderful world of fanfiction back in 2001 thanks to the TV show Roswell. After Season 2 had finished airing in the UK, I’d basically gone online to try and find out if there would be another season and I came across all these fabulous websites and one in particular – Crashdown.com – had a “Fanfiction” button on there which I couldn’t resist clicking on.

The rest, as they say, is history.

I spent hours devouring all the Michael/Maria stories I could find on that site and on others I subsequently discovered and I came across so many terrific authors, several of whom I was lucky enough to become good friends with later on.

It wasn’t until December 2002 that I bit the bullet and wrote and posted my very first story. I was so nervous posting it on ‘Candy Is Dandy’, a Michael/Maria message board, and I was positive I wouldn’t receive any responses to it. Thankfully, some nice souls over there took pity on me and gave me some lovely feedback which definitely encouraged me to keep going.

When Roswell was cancelled after it’s third season, I remember saying to someone during an online chat that I couldn’t imagine feeling the same way about another couple as I did with Michael and Maria and that it was likely my writing days would be over once I ran out of story ideas.

Boy, was I wrong! *lol*

The moment I saw the scene in One Tree Hill episode 1.03 “Are You True?” where Nathan asks his friend Tim who the girl is who’s always hanging around with Lucas I was totally hooked. I’ve always been a sucker for “bad boy/good girl” romances. ;)

My first Nathan/Haley story was posted in August 2004 but never would I have imagined or dreamed that I’d still be writing for them eight years later or that I’d have (as of November 2012) 198 fics to my name for this couple alone.

As well as writing for Michael/Maria and Nathan/Haley, I’ve also written fanfiction for other pairings: Buffy/Angel (BtVS and AtS), Danny/Lindsay (CSI: NY), Donald/Elizabeth (The Blacklist), Logan/Veronica (Veronica Mars), Lucas/Taylor (One Tree Hill) and Ryan/Taylor (The O.C.).
