The Paladin's Fan Fiction

<BODY> <P>Every once in a while, I get bitten by the fanfic bug. It started in high school, when my friend Philip Moyer talked me into helping him out with a small project he wanted to work on. This project has since turned into the <A HREF="http://www.eyrie.net/ETC/SER/">Serendipity</A> series. <P>Since then, I have dabbled here and there, until I came across two drabble communities on <A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/">LiveJournal</A>: <A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=sn100"><IMG BORDER=0 SRC="http://stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif"></A><A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/community/sn100"><B>sn100</B></A> (for <A HREF="http://www.epguides.com/sportsnight/">Sports Night</A> drabbles) and <A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=tww100"><IMG BORDER=0 SRC="http://stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif"></A><A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/community/tww100"><B>tww100</B></A> (for <A HREF="http://www.epguides.com/westwing">The West Wing</A> drabbles). I kind of got hooked, and here's the result. <P>(A "drabble," for those of you not hooked up with <A HREF="http://katspace.net/fandef.php">fanfic terminology</A>, is a piece of fan fiction that is supposed to be exactly 100 words.) <P>If you're interested in seeing the collection of my West Wing fanfics at the <A HREF="http://national-library.net/">National Library</A> Archive, <A HREF="http://library.westwingstories.com/authorresults.php?author=278">here is my author listing</A>.<DL> <DT><A HREF="SN15.html">The Only Words He Can Say</A> (11/21/2003) <DD>Fandom: Sports Night <DD>Characters: Jeremy, Natalie <DD>Rating: G <DD>Spoilers: April is the Cruelest Month <DD>Written for <A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=sn100"><IMG BORDER=0 SRC="http://stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif"></A><A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/community/sn100"><B>sn100</B></A> Challenge #15: <A HREF="http://damienrice.com/lyrics.html">Take a lyric/lyrics from a Damien Rice song</A> <DD><A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/community/sn100/24675.html">Original LiveJournal post, with comments</A> <DT><A HREF="WW36.html">It's All in the Phrasing</A> (03/14/2004) <DD>Fandom: The West Wing <DD>Characters: Abbey, Amy, Josh <DD>Rating: NC-17 for sexual situations <DD>Written for <A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=tww100"><IMG BORDER=0 SRC="http://stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif"></A><A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/community/tww100"><B>tww100</B></A> Challenge #36: Use three or more characters in your drabble <DD><A HREF="http://library.westwingstories.com/stories/black/phrasing.htm">Archived</A> at <A HREF="http://national-library.net/">National Library</A> West Wing Fanfic Archive <DD><A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/community/tww100/139289.html">Original LiveJournal post, with comments</A> <DT><A HREF="WW37.html">The Family We Choose</A> (03/16/2004) <DD>Fandom: The West Wing <DD>Characters: Delores, Jed <DD>Rating: PG-13 for language <DD>Setting: "18th and Potomac" <DD>Written for <A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=tww100"><IMG BORDER=0 SRC="http://stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif"></A><A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/community/tww100"><B>tww100</B></A> Challenge #37: Cursing, profanity, and dirty words <DD><A HREF="http://library.westwingstories.com/stories/black/family-we-choose.htm">Archived</A> at <A HREF="http://national-library.net/">National Library</A> West Wing Fanfic Archive <DD><A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/community/tww100/141617.html">Original LiveJournal post, with comments</A> <DT><A HREF="WW38.html">Better Be Home Soon</A> (03/23/2004) <DD>Fandom: The West Wing <DD>Characters: Charlie, Zoey <DD>Rating: G <DD>Written for <A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=tww100"><IMG BORDER=0 SRC="http://stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif"></A><A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/community/tww100"><B>tww100</B></A> Challenge #38: <A HREF="http://www.amws.com.au/c/crowded-house/lyrics/index.html">Use a Crowded House song title as your drabble title</A> <DD><A HREF="http://library.westwingstories.com/stories/black/better-be-home-soon.htm">Archived</A> at <A HREF="http://national-library.net/">National Library</A> West Wing Fanfic Archive <DD><A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/community/tww100/146293.html">Original LiveJournal post, with comments</A> <DT><A HREF="WW39.html">These Things In My Mind</A> (03/31/2004) <DD>Fandom: The West Wing <DD>CharactersL: Toby <DD>Rating: G <DD>Written for <A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=tww100"><IMG BORDER=0 SRC="http://stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif"></A><A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/community/tww100"><B>tww100</B></A> Challenge #39: Use the first and last line in your drabble <DD><A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/community/tww100/154164.html">Original LiveJournal post, with comments</A> </DL>
