Sometimes. I've written Doctor Who, Marvel Comics, Star Trek, Metal Gear Solid and Abarat fanfic, all very short and self-contained. - Do you write original fiction? A lot of it. - Current project: Oh, man! Don't get me started. I have about three novels going, and two novellas. - An area you'd like to improve in: Time management, editing, plotting, not getting bored and dumping the current thing for a new shiny. - An accomplishment you're proud of: Writing 30,000 words of fiction in three days for a writing challenge.
