tippergreenA post! Sort of. I noticed folks post a "hello" post to say who they are and what they're about, so I'm following the crowd.
Hi. I'm Tipper. I wrote a lot of fanfiction for many, many years. I also wrote some original stories, and, lately, I've been writing a lot more of those. In the last few years I've amassed a (digital) trunk full of novels, and I've no idea what to do with them.
But fanfiction is where I first learned to finish a story I'd started, where I learned how to plot, how to grammar, how to wax and polish, and how to let trolls lie (well, not really, but I try), and I miss that world.
The fandoms I was most active in were M7 and SGA. I've written fic in M7, SGA, NCIS, Merlin, Sneaky Pete (that happened in 2018, but there are, like, ten stories that have been written in that fandom, so talk about small!), and even a stray A-Team and Star Trek story or two. My stories are at A03 and fanfiction.net, in various states of disarray.
My loves, whether in TV, movies or books, are sci-fi and fantasy, the classics, myths and legends, superheroes and anytime someone surprises me in how they tell a story.
So, I've questions on writing, posting, reading, and other general stuff that I am curious about, and that's why I'm here.
Lovely to meet you all!

Date: 2018-12-06 12:17 am (UTC)I've thought about self-publishing, but, man, does it seem like a lot of work. I think Sholio's amazing for making it work; she deserves all the awards too. We know how awesome she is at writing.
Anyway, watch this space! I'm going to try to post every day at least for the rest of this month. We'll see if I make it!
