Spark: How Fanfiction and Fandom Can Set Your Creativity On Fire

I’m so delighted to have an essay on writing fanfiction – “A Love Affair: Why Pros and Non-Pros Write Fic”– in the upcoming book Spark.
Spark is all about the joy of fanfiction, fanart and fannish communities. It contains more than forty essays and interviews from best-selling writers Anne Jamison, Claire O’Dell, Diane Duane, Henry Jenkins, KJ Charles, Lyndsay Faye, Sara Dobie Bauer and many others discuss, encourage, and shout about how fic and fandom in all their glories can absolutely inspire you, set your creativity on fire – and change your world.
It’s due out in November 2023 but you can pre-order at a discount from the publisher!

Rise
I submitted the 300-word “Wolf Soup” to Queer Sci Fi’s 10th Annual Flash Fiction Contest, which was published in October 2023.
I am an absolute soup of dualities. I’m Anglo-Mauritian, and therefore English-French bilingual, I’m human-wolf, and of course I’m bisexual.
[…]
My love manifests towards whoever is the moon of my life. Presently, this is Daisy. She transitioned to this name because daisies mean rebirth. Daisy is her own kind of melange. Now, at imminent moonrise, she radiates hope and terror.
