Well, I have been meaning to do one of these for ages, and never gotten around to it. So here goes, anyhow. Links go to my journal entries mostly, but some of the older stuff is only posted on FF.N.

Wow, it's a small world! What was it called? I may have read it back in the day - that was a teeny close-knit fandom. I still miss it loads. I remember that show aired just about everywhere but the US. We had a lot of Canadians, heaps of Aussies and Kiwis, several Norwegians and I think a few Dutch.

I still have heaps of friends from then, too. Notably misscam who got me into BSG in the first place. The show was into series 3 by the time I got into it (story of my fandom life) so she would send me tapes of the early seasons (complete with Norwegian subtitles) in exchange for the latest eps which hadn't yet aired there. (We are so spoiled today with downloads, aren't we?)

"The Journey" was my magnum opus in that fandom (I have always referred to it as "the Epic") and it took me two years to write it. I didn't post it as a serial, so by the time I finished it and posted, there was no one left to read it! I was still so glad to have done it though. :)

Ah, yes there was a lot of overlap between BH and WR fandom. And I do remember Ness! Funny, being Australia, there's a Sydney crowd, and a Melbourne crowd. Friendly rivalry, and all. I ended up with the Sydney crowd, so Ness and I were never close friends. But fandom then was like a small country town - everyone knew everyone. We used to have massive ICQ chats where just about everyone (all 20 or so of us!) would show up ( ... )

WR Fanfic, The End is the Beginning of the End (or something along those lines). katiealice49 December 11 2009, 11:23:10 UTC

Now I really am nagging.
Sorry to be a pain but I am in love with your preview of the story on fanfiction.net.
By any chance have you found the other bits to it yet?
:)

Well, I have good news. I found it. I thought for a while it had been lost on a bad HDD but I turned it up hiding in one of the others.

I have to say, I cringed a bit, rereading it--such a long time ago! I can send you the file as is if you want to look through it... but I won't be able to finish it. Too long ago and I've lost all feel for the characters, I'm afraid.

Anyway, if you want it, let me know your email and I'll send it to you "as is".
