Andromeda Author's Choice

Please note these links lead to stories that can rate from G to NC-17, and are Slash.

The Author's Choice page showcases the stories the writers themselves have selected as their favorite piece - whether because it's their best-written, most challenging, most popular or any of a dozen other reasons.

Louise Wu, of X-Files fanfiction fame, came up with the original idea and graphics for the X-Files Author's Choice site. I'd like to thank her for her kind permission to reproduce them both for this website.

Last Round
Fall 2001
All my Andromeda slash is Tyr/Harper. I find the pairing requires a lot of work, given their reactions to one another. This story is quieter than the others. It hints at a relationship developing after their capture by the Magog. There's a bond and some kind of sustained respect.

I've only written 3 Andromeda fics. This one is better cause it's funnier, and I do funny much better than I do homoerotic.

Sex as Power - A Man Game
 
November 2001 
An author's greatest fear - a rejected story; but with the rejection came challenge. Do you write slash? What about Ares? "Sex As Power" takes two beautiful men (one is a virgin) combines them with drinks, drugs, leather and handcuffs and initiates a crossover series. My first, their first, enjoy!

Breaking Out
 April 2002 
My longest fic so far. Also my first serious attempt at a plot-driven story. I was surprised at how easily the words come out once I got into it, the while thing flowed out without any major problems. Wow.

Orithain & Angel
  Will to Power I: The Hour of Great Contempt
February 2001
This was interesting to write because even though it's very much AU, we try to incorporate as much of canon as we can. The story took us on some strange twists and turns. It also possessed us since almost all of it (143K) was written in one week. Never argue with a determined Nietzschean. ;)

In the Kitchen
I'm submitting "In the Kitchen" because it really challenged me. I didn't expect it to be so involved or so long as I usually write little PWPs but I'm glad I stuck with it and I'm more than pleased with the end result.

Waiting in the Dark
2002
My favorite for several reasons. Positive feedback,  requests for a sequel. Even though it's an R-rated quick fic, it exemplifies the saying that the mind is the most important sexual organ. It has an erotic edge that even many NC-17 works lack.

Tosca
Hypothermia
October 2002
An Andromerotica Festival challengefic that evolved from short, quick smut into a very long, much more thoughtful piece (with smut). It took me ages and bucketloads of blood, sweat and tears to write, and though I was often tempted to give up, the end result makes me glad I didn’t.

Vesper
 Hunting Harper
March 2002
At the time I wrote this Vesper was my secret identity: the place where my dark impulses could fly free. I get a buzz out of cutting loose with Vesper, and writing this fic in first person made it so much more intense.

Raveling
March 2002
While the Median series has been all about my muse giving me happy surprises, "Raveling" showed this the strongest. When the show gave me a major, annoying setback to my plans, my muse managed to not only pick up the ball but get over 100K just out of that.
