2 – Name the fandoms you've written in, and how much you've written in that fandom, and if you still write in it.

My primary fandom for writing is Queer as Folk-US. Prior to discovering this fandom, I didn't read or write or respect fan fiction. I thought it was adolescent and silly. I had this idea based on the vast experience of having NEVER read one word of it, ever.

The first fan fic I ever read was Plumsuede's "Framed." While I've come to feel that story presents a Brian and Justin that don't really resonate for me, what first powerfully struck me when I read it was how GOOD it was as a work of fiction. I'd swallowed all kinds of writerly snobbishness about people who write fan fic, and reading that story showed me that the people from whom I'd absorbed that view had no freaking idea what they were talking about.

Because I'm a professional writer (non-fiction), trying my hand at writing fic seemed  very natural. I have written a TON of fic... I haven't actually counted how many, but they're on my fic index page and it's a LOT. Bazillions. And if I had more time, there'd be a bazillion more. I really haven't even come close to getting tired of writing QAF fic, even though the audience for it has become small. And my main issue is that although I love Brian and Justin and love writing about them, I have a lot of bunnies that involve the other characters, and there's even less interest in reading those.

As to other fandoms, after I fell into writing QAF fan fiction, I tried my hand at writing some Xena: Warrior Princess fic. That was my first fandom, although as I said, it didn't involve fan fic in any way. I really like writing XWP fic, but because I've never connected up with their fic archives, and XWP fandom is not active on the journals, I didn't write very much of it. Still, every  now and then I can't resist.

Other than that, I've written one story set in the post-series West Wing world, for a character of color challenge. That was fun, as I loved the dialog on West Wing and I enjoyed trying to write it. I think it turned out well, and if I had enough time, I think I'd probably keep writing  post-series Santos presidency fic.

Finally, I wrote a story set in the Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer world, Christmas Town, and have an almost-completed sequel, Silver and Gold, that I hope to post this holiday season. I have no clue where that came from.
