Yay! My Turn!

Hi y’all. I’m Doreen and I’m a native New Yorker.

I’ve been in the N/G fandom since about 2006, but was a lurker for most of that time.

I’m one of those people who discovered N/G fic before having seen the television show. After reading the classics of catlover2x, geekwriter, and kennedy, I fell madly in love. From there, it was a mad search through television, iTunes, YouTube and Netflix to get myself up to speed (and I’ve seen all the eps more times than I can remember).

My favorite classic episodes are “Table Stakes” (because Greg in that headdress is too adorable), “Stalker,” “Boom”, “Who Are You” and any ep in that brings Nick to tears. (Dayum, that man is beautiful when he cries).

Favorite new ep is “Appendicitement” because Nick and Greg are so obviously a couple in that one.

I’ve written two N/G one-shots that can be found at ff.net and WMTDB, but I haven’t posted anything for a while. Hopefully I will soon post the number of unfinished stories that are sitting patiently in my computer. Beta anyone?

I’m also involved in the “Newsies” fandom and am an active member at the Refuge site. Most of the stories I’ve written until now are in that fandom, but as a slash writer, I feel limited by the ages of some characters. Writing slash for underage boys just isn’t for me. Older characters, like Nick and Greg, are definitely more slashable.

I spend way too much time creating fan art. I make banners, walls and icons, but I get the most pleasure in making manips.

My favorite author is catlover2x and I live in constant hope that she will write more N/G.

My favorite stories seem to be the favorites of many N/G lovers:

“One Good Man” by geekwriter

“Don’t Fence Me In” by kennedy

“Spirit” and “A Certain Sunset” by saras_girl

And pretty much anything written by catlover2x

Since the changes at WMTDB, I don’t read the works of many new writers. It was much easier to find good new fic when the site had a Most Recent setting.

Okay – enough about me.

Now from Rustie to Rusty – Tag, rusty_the_train ! You’re it!
