Back in December of 2008 I made a post that called for people who wanted to be interviewed for my piece on fan fiction for Pink Raygun. The link to that post is here:

http://sylvia-bond.livejournal.com/41470.html

Many people responded, and two years later, the piece is being posted. The delay is due in part to real life issues, but also in part to the fact that I had a hard time getting my hands around the material I collected. All the respondents had a lot to say and all of it was interesting!

The dates for posting are:

Part 1 – January 4th

Introduction: It’s So Very Personal
Getting Into Fandom: Walking on the Wild Side

January 11th
Becoming a Fan Fiction Writer: Dealing in Emo

January 18th
Fan Fiction: Why? Why? Why?

January 25th
Character: It’s In The Way That You Use Him

January 27th
Conclusion: Bringing in the Sheaves

Best Regards and happy reading!

Supernatural Episode Review: All Dogs Go to Heaven

Episodes, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Pink Ray Gun, Reviews, Star Trek, Supernatural Comments Off on Supernatural Episode Review: All Dogs Go to Heaven

My review of the Supernatural episode “All Dogs Go to Heaven” is up at pinkraygun.com. Enjoy!

An excerpt:

Be that as it may, the opening scenes also have Sam and Dean at a BBQ joint somewhere in New York, even though New York State is not really known for being a haven for BBQ joints. But never mind that now. The sun is shining, the brothers are together, and Sam is wearing a green plaid, snap-button shirt, which is one of my absolute favorites for him to wear. He looks so good in green, always, and the snap buttons are just hot, on account of they can be unsnapped so easily, if one’s imagination were inclined to go that way, which mine is. I’m perfectly certain that Show does NOT dress Sam to suit my tastes, but sometimes, like this time, I’m perfectly certain that they do. And then there’s the Samhair, which makes a lovely showing in this scene and fact makes many showings for the rest of the ep.”

One Night’s Compromise

Fanfiction, My Fanfiction, Star Trek Comments Off on One Night’s Compromise

One Night’s Compromise is now available on the Kirk/Spock Fanfiction Archive.

Here’s the premise: Spock has determined that the only way he can save his and Kirk’s friendship is to ask for a transfer. This he does, and of course, Kirk objects, and decides that he and Spock should go out to dinner to discuss what it’s going to take to keep Spock on the Enterprise. What it eventually takes is a surprise to them both. Word count: 12,405

That’s the story. But the story behind the story…yeah, there’s always another story.

The Flavor of Gold

Fanfiction, My Fanfiction, Star Trek Comments Off on The Flavor of Gold

The Flavor of Gold is one of the first fanfiction and slash stories I wrote. It is in the K/S fandom. You can view it here.

And, here is the description: While on shore leave, Kirk runs into Finnegan, who tells Kirk that he would not have been as successful without Spock. Kirk takes on a one-man mission in order to prove Finnegan wrong. (Kirk so has issues with this!) Meanwhile, Spock, wondering where his 3D chess partner has gone, goes after Kirk. He finds him, of course, and then the fun ensues! Word count 30,491.
