Writer specializing in speculative fiction cross-overs.

I try to emphasize continuity and world-building.

Much like Tolkien and allegory, I "cordially dislike" excessive shipping in fanfic.

That said, I confess I am a fan of May/Coulson (Agents of SHIELD), Nebula/Tony (MCU), River Tam/Spike (crossover ship), Batman/Catwoman (Batman), Batman/Harley Quinn (Batman), Harley Quinn/Poison Ivy (Batman), Admiral Holdo Captain George Kirk (crossover, and I think I may have been the first to invent this one), and Rey/Finn/Rose with optional Poe foursome (Star Wars).

The Fan Fiction Writer's Code of Ethics (which I confess I have not always followed)

(Note: Some definitions may be subjective.)

1. Thou Shalt Not Character-Bash.

2. Thou Shalt Not Character Whitewash.

3. Thou Shalt Not Use Canon Characters, Out Of Character, As A Mouthpiece For Your Own Views, And Present Their Attitudes As In Character.

4. Thou Shalt Not Alter Canon Without Providing A Coherent Reason For Said Change.

5. Thou Shalt Clearly And Accurately Describe/Advertise The Content Of Thy Work. Thou Shalt Not False Advertise.

6. Thou Shalt Not Represent Changes To Canon As Accurately Reflecting Canon.

7. Shipping Should Grow Naturally From The Story And Characters, Rather Than The Story And Characters Being Twisted To Support The Ship.

8. Fan Service Usually Comes At The Expense Of Writing Quality.

9. Thou Shalt Respect The Basic Principles Of Good Writing, Particularly Continuity, Contrast, Doing Your Research, And Coherent Spelling/Grammar.

10. Respect Constructive Criticism. That Said...

11. Never, Ever, Ever Let The Audience's Expectations Dictate The Course Of Your Writing, Either By Pandering To Them Or Going Out Of Your Way To Refute Or Subvert Them. "Written By Committee" Is Not A Compliment, And A Fandom Is Merely A Committee Of Thousands.
