I'm Nym, a lifelong media and sci-fantasy fangirl born in the mid-1970s.

I've written and published fanfiction about Good Omens, Doctor Who, Once Upon a Time, Harry Potter, Petshop of Horrors, Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Young Hercules, Star Wars: TPM and Jedi Apprentice, The Tomorrow People, Highlander: The Series, VR.5, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Beauty and the Beast (TV, 1986), Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and the original Star Trek series.

I can't even count the number of other fandoms that have caught my imagination without sparking the fanfic urge. As a kid it was mainly books. As an adult it's almost always sci-fantasy TV shows.

Before about 1995 everything I wrote and published went into fanzines or fanclub newsletters. Since about 1999 everything's been online. Most of what I created in the overlap years has been lost.

Until recently I viewed my own fanworks as ephemera, with some or all of their meaning getting lost as the context and community that spawned them fades into fandom history. I've never been entirely comfortable presenting my older stories without that context so I've tended to quietly retire older pieces once the corner of fandom where they were born goes quiet. Over the years that's meant that quite a few pieces I once had online have become lost—some to carelessness and computer mishaps and some to obsolete word processor file formats.

Maybe it's because I'm getting older, and maybe it's because my worsening health increasingly makes writing a thing of my past, but I'm slowly reconsidering my reluctance to have those older, out of context fanworks available online. Many of them have been around long enough that there's a whole new generation of fans discovering and enjoying the source material.

The more I appreciate the work of Fanlore and the OTW in preserving fanworks and the history of fannish culture, the more I've been thinking about how I might supply the missing context rather than permanently removing my work from display. That's the purpose of this website—not that I've got very far with it! At the moment this site holds my Transformative Works Statement and is home to a sekrit-but-instantly-ready mirror of all my AO3 works just in case AO3 ever stops being a good home for them.
