jeriendhal2 – Name the fandoms you've written in, and how much you've written in that fandom, and if you still write in it.
Oi. This is going to take a bit.
1. Star Trek TOS: See previous post for my first story. Haven't really written all that much in it despite it really being my first fandom.
2. Star Trek TNG: I think the first time I wrote in it was for a massive crossover fic I started involving all the members of my college D&D group getting sucked into a wormhole. First stop was the Wild Cards universe to get superpowers. No idea what happened in the TNG universe. I only touch it occasionally, my last fic being a bit over a year ago with Wesley dealing the lousy lot of being a know it all.
3. Heralds of Valdemar: My Old Shame. Wrote enough to get some bits published in the now defunct Companion's Grove fanzine.
4. Gargoyles: Only wrote a few unfinished stories, with my only finished piece being a crossover with Dark City of all things.
5. Terinu: Um, I do believe I'm still working on one or two things in it. To my detriment I think, given I've written more in this universe than![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chaypeta, who created the damned thing.
There is no Fandom Six
7. Stargate SG-1: I've only written one thing in this universe, but it was also my first Terinu piece, being a crossover.
There are probably others, but I've mercifully forgotten them

Date: 2011-06-04 01:31 am (UTC)1) Star Trek: Not too terribly much, maybe three stories. Of course, even back then my stories were pretty long, so I'd estimate a total of 100k - 120k words.
2) Battlestar Galactica. This was actually a crossover with Trek. Don't remember much else about it.
3) Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, with a Mary-Sue self insert. I think, from the little I remember, this would be called a FixFic.
Overall, my gaming cut into fic-writing; I could satisfy my universe-fixing and adventure in universe desires more directly that way.
4) 1984: Hated it so much I had to rewrite the ending. This one I don't remember much about, just that I rewrote it and felt better afterwards.
5) Harrison Bergeron: Fixfic/Hatefic to deal with the fact that I not only hated the end, but that the end MADE NO SENSE. This one went something like 20,000 words before I realized I'd be writing an entire novel, or even series of novels, and I'd never be able to use them for anything. By that point I'd at least addressed all the points that really pissed me off, so I felt better.
6) Saint Seiya. This is the big one. My wife (then girlfriend) Kathleen and I wrote something over a million words of fanfic in the Saint Seiya universe (and more -- see below), much of which did actually see the light of day, and one story -- Wild Card -- got its own printing in a special edition of the Endless Warriors 'zine.
7) Yoroiden Samurai Troopers. My wife wrote several preliminary stories and we then crossed over YST with Saint Seiya in the fic "Starpower". Several more stories followed.
8) Dragonball Z. Kathleen may well have ORIGINATED english-language Slashfic for DBZ when she wrote "Vegita Tai Goku" back in about 1991. Sometime after that, we wrote "Brave New World" in which the DBZ-verse merged with our Saint-Trooper universe.
9) Lord of the Rings. That would be this thing here, which also crosses over slightly with another well-known fantasist who wrote for a somewhat younger audience.
10) Pride and Prejudice and The Terminator: That would be "Terminators of Endearment, OR Pride and Extreme Prejudice", which was written with Brenda Clough. Alas, no one gave us the chance to publish it when we first came up with it, and now everyone's done Jane Austen with Everything.
11) Doc Smith: Aside from Grand Central Arena, which certainly verges on fic at times, I've written a few vignettes which were putatively set in the Lensverse. I also started "Skylark Cthulhu", plus the origin story for Marc DuQuesne in GCA is pretty much pure-quill SmithFic
12) Fullmetal Alchemist. I helped Kathy write parts of an FMA/Torchwood fic and of an FMA/CSI:Miami fic
I *think* that covers it, but I'm not entirely certain. This doesn't count things like RPG backgrounds, and of course not things like stories that were inspired by and/or reference other sources.
