Meet The Author I've been writing fanfiction for about four years now, mostly revolving around the Buffy/Angel relationship (and mostly in the human world because I think I've spent too much time with demons and vampires unless it's pointless smut). I've been venturing into other fandoms, some of which are Spike/Angel, Buffy/Faith, Spike/Angel/Buffy and Buffy/Giles (which is still being thought on).
I first started watching Buffy around the beginning of the 4th season and it immediately sucked me in, as did Angel. After a while, I began to realize that I had better ideas, and could write them, then the shows and that was the birth of Bre fic. It started out small with challenges here and there before turning into a full-blown fanfic session. To this day, I have around forty fics posted and hundreds more on my computer that I've worked on over the years.
What inspires a writer to write? For me, it's the idea of escaping reality and going somewhere where anything is possible. Anything. Seriously. Have you read the stories out there? It's outrageous, yet fun because it's possible in the BtVS/AtS world. Also, a lot of my writing comes from what I'm feeling. Like most, my life is not easy and that reflects in my work. Also, some of it is my wish for what I want to do, or what quite literally fascinates me. (Which I've noticed has a lot to do with children, whether the character is pregnant or has them...)
Writing in the Buffy/Angel fandom has saved me in so many ways. It's the place I go when I can't handle something at that moment. And, later, when I look at the problem, it doesn't seem that big a deal. It's interesting because I usually find all the fanfictions that relate to what I'm going through. I've always found a fanfiction that has Buffy going through what I'm going through, or took the other road, which makes me realize what could have happened, or makes me see the different viewpoints. And if that made sense, I don't know.
I'm a student in Colorado who has three dogs at her parents' house. I'm currently single and loving it! No boyfriends for Bre unless you count my slight obsession with my beau-to-be (he he, Liz).
