thewatchmaker2 – Name the fandoms you've written in, and how much you've written in that fandom, and if you still write in it. I'm BOLDING what I still write in.
Put on your seatbelts:
Star Trek – the original series – many Mary Sue fics from the dark ages
Star Trek – Mirror, Mirror – a few fics in the past couple of years
Star Trek – new universe – mostly drabbles and short fics from Spock’s POV
Buffy the Vampire Slayer – I used to write a lot of Buffy fics from Giles or Faith’s POV. I wrote a metric fuckton of fics from Caleb’s POV.
Angel – I wrote a lot here from Lindsey McDonald and Wesley Wyndam-Price’s POV, and a few from Angelus.
Highlander the Series – This was one of my first fandoms, and it was so full of Mary Sue OCs.
Firefly – Wrote a ton of fics from Mal’s POV including some crossovers with Kara Thrace from BSG.
Supernatural – Lots of fics from Deans’ POV, although now it’s mostly drabbles from Castiel.
LOST – Wrote quite a bit of backstory fics for Sawyer. Lost was hard to fic because the entire ‘verse was so weird.
X-Files – Mostly in crossovers with Heroes.
Farscape – A few ficlets from Aeryn’s POV.
American Gothic – I did a crossover with Caleb from Buffy going to Trinity. It’s one of my favorites.
Batman – mostly stories about Batman and his daughter Huntress.
Birds of Prey – TV These were from Huntress’ POV.
Dr. Horrible’s Sing a Long Blog – I did a tiny little ficlet crossover with Sylar.
Dr. Who – 9 and 10ish – Did a little fic with Hiro from Heroes and 10 although he sounded more like 9.
Dexter – I adore Dexter. I wrote a little bit for him, because god damn I wish I’d invented him. There isn’t much fic from me.
The Dresden Files – TV – yet another Heroes crossover based on a RP. I don’t feel right writing fanfic of current author’s work. I don’t know why. It’s weird, since I know I’ll have made it the second I see fanfic of my work.
Harley Quinn – I love the little nutcase. She has a few fics out there with my name on them.
Criminal Minds – I had a blast doing a Heroes crossover where the BAU was hunting for a serial killer who turned out to be Parkman because Sylar was in his head.
The Pretender – I used to RP Jarod, and I have a few old fics lying around. I had a blast writing a Heroes/Pretender crossover that I’m going to expand on where Gabriel is raised by the Center.
My Own Worse Enemy – I loved this show. Sadly it wasn’t on long enough for me to really get into writing fic.
Torchwood – I adore Jack. I wrote a few ficlets.
And a little fandom called Heroes – Enough fic to fill this journal and require that I have journals for Gabriel Gray, Peter Petrelli and Future Peter to cover it all, and that’s not counting the occasional fic from Nathan or Angela. Linderman is nibbling at my brain now too. It is my favorite fandom, and I don’t see me stopping anytime soon.

4 – Do you have a "muse" character, that speaks to you more than others, or that tries to push their way in, even when the fic isn't about them? Who are they, and why did that character became your muse?
