Hello Out There

[lesleyann]

My name is Lesley-Ann, if you haven't already guessed, and welcome to my fanfiction journal.

I have been reading and writing fanfiction for longer than I care to remember or quite honestly can remember. As child and teenager alike I found it a totally natural progression to attempt to record on paper the stories and adventures my imagination dreamed up centred around my favourite TV shows and  films.

I went from running around my bedroom acting out my various fantasies that my over-active imagination dreamt up to trying to turn them into actual written stories. Not with much success as you can well imagine but it was an important first step in my journey to becoming a fanfic writer.

In the later 90's I splurged on my first computer, a dinosaur which should have been extinct long before I bought to be honest, and gained access to the internet. Something I knew literally nothing about beforehand. Soon I was addicted and to my surprise found many of my long gone TV favourites were still alive and well online within many different formats. One of which felt very familiar to me once I discovered it.

Since then my hobbies and online life has changed and evolved. During this time I've ran several fan-based sites including two devoted completely to fanfiction. I tend to get into a particular 'ship within a fandom (be it canon or fanon in origin) and stick with it. I'm a shipper based fan fiction writer totally.

This journal is to post and chronicle my fanfiction career both past, present and hopefully future.

Although I haven't actively written any fan fiction in over 7 years I haven't stopped reading it. I am currently feeling the pull of my fan fiction muses once more hence the creation of this journal.
