I have, for most of my life, dabbled in fan-fiction writing. With any fan-fiction, it's never going to be as good as the source material, but sometimes offers a chance to respond to storylines or characters that resonated and also being able to stretch my writing muscles.
As a warning most of my pieces are relationship centric. Let's face it, there is no way I could write an episode of The West Wing.
I usually wrote the piece around the airing of the show, so you'll see my writing at various stages in my life - which is weird and interesting, possibly only to me.
West Wing Fan Fiction
Cold Calling - This tiny baby piece that takes places after the key debacle of 06. A completely different way Josh could have handled it.
*This piece was nominated for two Golden Coffee Cup Awards (the fan-fiction awards to Josh and Donna stories) Outstanding Before/After Santos Administration and Outstanding Josh Characterization
Noticing - Josh and Donna’s new relationship is noticed by a few people…or not. Set in Season 7.
*This piece was nominated for two Golden Coffee Cup Awards for Outstanding Before/After Santos Administration and Outstanding Non-Romance
Noticing in Grief - A sequel to Noticing, as grief sweeps through the campaign and the White House, more people begin to notice Josh and Donna's new relationship.
*This piece was nominated for three Golden Coffee Cup Awards for Outstanding John Spencer Tribute, Outstanding Before/After Santos Administration and Outstanding Angst/Tearjerker
Glimpses of Everything and Nothing Series - After a Republican makes suggestions about Donna and Josh's relationship in an attempt to derail the Santos campaign, it forces them both to face the real truth.
*This series was nominated for five Golden Coffee Cup Awards for Outstanding Before/After Santos Administration, Outstanding Kiss, Outstanding Banter, Outstanding Josh Characterization and Outstanding Donna Characterization.
Unsent Letters - In Shutdown, Josh almost let Donna use his laptop. He decided against it after remembering his Personal Folder. So what follows is what I imagine is in Josh's Personal Folder.
*This piece was nominated for a Golden Coffee Cup Award for Work We'd Most Like to See Finished.
Did You Know - A little piece about what Donna and Josh were really thinking during Donna's terrible interview with Josh for a position in the Santos team.
Torchwood Fan Fiction
Damn Ianto Jones - This is a little Jack internal thoughts rambling. A few comments got me thing about how we’ve never seen Jack express his feelings for Ianto, well he doesn’t have to say it people! He can think it.
I'm In It - A little Ianto angsty musing, in response mainly to many naysayers who feel the Janto shippers are fantasists because of the ‘happy ending’ fan fics out there. I’m not so black/white and shades of grey is where the fun stuff lives but I thought I’d take at stab at Ianto’s realistic feelings.
The Fear of Falling - Another dissatisfied Meat watcher, until you think about a-certain Captain’s moodiness from another perspective.
The Five Stages - I really felt Ianto didn’t get the grief outlet that Gwen and Jack were allowed to do on screen, so I wanted to explain in my own way, why we didn’t see that outpouring.
The Refuge at Home - Many, many people have commented on the fact that Jack must have some serious mental will power, because no average person survives being buried alive and reliving it, time over. A small piece about the possibilities that he’s not okay.
Watching On - Owen watches the dance. After reading many, many, many boards and people’s reaction to ‘The Dance’, I’m still not sure exactly my position but I wanted to take a look at Ianto/Jack from the outside in that moment.
Dawson's Creek Fan Fiction
Sailing Home - A trashy smut-tastic attempt at rescuing the Season 5 pairings. Pacey is joined by the Creek gang as he sails a yacht down the coast. With tension running high, drinking and strip poker seem like the perfect idea.
