Like many others, I'm an aspiring novelist. When I feel any sort of block, I tend to try to spit out some fanfic in order to help get the creativity flowing again. There is at least a hint of romance in everything I do. I usually write Buffy fic, and I prefer to read and write fic that I can picture as being believable per the standards Joss has created. Oh, and I'm a Spuffy fan 'til the end, so don't expect to see any Buffy/Angel fic here, okay? There are a ton of writers out there who have done some breathtaking B/A stuff, though. :-)
