Writing again

[shadowscast]

Perhaps it's about time that I mention: after a 4.5-year break from fandom, I have started writing again. In the past three months, I've completed (and posted to AO3), three fics, totalling about 170,000 words (all set in one ongoing series). It's been pretty intense!

All three fics have been based on Once A Thief, a show that aired for one season over 20 years ago, and that hardly anybody's heard of. But it was my first fandom; I imprinted on it like a fannish baby bird. And right now, for whatever reason, it's where my joy is.

Just ... wow, does it ever feel good to be writing again!

In case anyone wants a link to the series: it's called Enough Time.

Yay for posting! Three stories definitely make for a series now :)

And thanks again for all your help! Your involvement has increased the fun at least ten-fold. :-D

Aw, a lot of people from X-Files fandom heard of OAT. :)

Haha, true! Were you in their number, back in the day?

I have a theory that I'm the only person in the world who got into fandom via Once A Thief as opposed to vice versa. I was innocently searching for episode summaries online (to make up for having missed some episodes, since I was catching it on broadcast TV and I didn't even have a VCR), and I stumbled onto a short slash fic about Mac and Vic having sex in a closet. And I was like, oh my God, this is so right, is there more like this out there somewhere? :-D

I was! It was a natural progression from being a Krycek fan. :)

Neat! Did you ever write any fic?

One very short one that has been lost to the mists of time (not even the Wayback Machine can find it).

Congratulations on getting your writing groove back!

Aw, thanks! :-D
