In
Their Own Words

July 2001
This
is the section where some of our favorite authors will share with
us (and you) their favorite stories from among their own work. The
lovely and talented Pix mentioned this idea to me in an e-mail,
saying how she thought it might be an interesting contrast with
the typical recommendations lists so prevalent on fan fic websites.
I,
of course, immediately wondered the same thing, and so, here we
are. This will be a weekly feature (we hope), with past Authors'
Picks being archived on a page called "From
the Desk of..."
So,
let us begin...
Today
we have Bramble, who many of you may know from her amazing Josh/Donna
stories, "Better vs. Nice," "Quiet Time," and
the hilarious "Lions and Tigers and Clowns, Oh My," among
others. Click on the name of the story within the text below if
you'd like to read it.
Bramble
says...
Bad
Q Rising
This
is an idea I had from when I first saw Q, um, I mean Al Kiefer on
The West Wing in 20 Hours in LA. I mean, it's Q! That just screams
cross-over. So, I wanted to do it for a while but was very intimidated.
I mean, the two shows don't really seem very mix-able.
That
said, I just jumped in and started and thankfully, since I had decided
to kind of mold it after the Star Trek Episode, Q-Pid, it kind of
wrote itself. (I mean, who can't see Toby being Worf in that episode?)
So,
that's one of my favorites just because I was really overwhelmed
with the idea of doing it but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned
out.
Problems
This
was the second fic I ever wrote and the first time I tried to write
Sam or Toby and I just still really like it. It totally wrote itself
-- I had an inner Toby living in my head while I was working on
it.
My
favorite aspect of WW fic is writing dialogue and I had a great
time making Toby, Sam, and Josh bond and talk about Josh's thing
for Donna in a local DC bar.
Okay,
I lied, I have an honorable mention. I am an attention-whore :)
Cycles
I
really like this because it's one of the more serious fics I've
written (not many of those -- can count them all on one hand). I
had an idea for a story about Mrs. Landingham's death, Josh and
Donna's weird, non-couple couple relationship, and him being so
close to her that he even knows when she has her period. Three things
that seem kind of odd but I was very satisfied with the finished
product.

So
there you have it -- Bramble, in her own words...
