So I go by Gohan - or Zelph - depending on what board you catch me on.
I've been writing on and off since about 2003. I started out in fanfiction, which I still do now and again. I've got a crossover story I've been working on and expanding for years that I may one day finish.
Also have a scifi novel that I've been working on for a few years, currently in the process of getting to know the characters within it.
Other than that, 22 year old college student, majoring in History Ed and hoping to be a high school teacher one day.

Hi Gohan. Nice to meet you Nice to find someone else who started off with fanfiction. I was told not to write fanfiction because I would never be able to write my own stuff... I like to prove the naysayers wrong

Haha, it is a nice feeling indeed eh?
What fandom did you start with? I started in the crossover genre, with a Star Trek TNG-era/Star War one.

I started with Real Person fanfiction, mainly based on Lord of the Rings cast, until I realised how disprespectful that can be. I moved from there to picking fairly obscure characters or supporting cast characters and writing a whole backstory for them... for instance, Gerard Butler's character in Her Majesty, Mrs Brown or Archie Kennedy in Horatio Hornblower. I also managed to write a romance for a character in "300", which still amuses me. I was very tempted by Battlestar Galactica the reimagined series but then that was pretty much fanfiction in itself haha. Your Star Trek/ Star Wars crossover sounds like interesting reading. I love all manner of SciFi shows, particularly StarGate (not including Universe which just lost the Star Gate feel for me.)

@ MissHelen Horatio Hornblower eh? I haven't seen too many fanfiction from that particular series. I enjoy it when they're crossed over with some of the other Napoleonic War series, such as the Alan Lewrie or Jack Aubrey series. Unfortunately most of the ones that I've found have been long abandoned... I'd be interested in seeing your though. As for my SW/ST crossover, I'm going to be doing some work on it this weekend while procrastinating my talk for Sunday. So I may post the Prologue here, the first few chapters are currently being completely rewritten as I've add an additional storyline that helps explain certain things better. And with that came a slue of new characters I had to develop, so that's taking me a while. lynnparsonsHaha, I might need some help indeed. Currently I'm a History Education Major with an English Ed Minor, but I know that's not entirely marketable right now. So I'm looking into changing my minor into a number of clusters instead. Hopefully three; ESL, Special Ed, as well as keeping the English Ed.
