My nick is Hutchrules3 and I kinda keep the other one under wraps for right now...no reason that I can really offer, other than that it's my writing persona. I am currently living in St. Louis, and very recently completed my PhD in clinical psychology, so I am happily going about being Dr. Hutchrules3 (though my clients don't call me that, I must admit).
I am a first generation S&H fan, having discovered the boys somewhere around "Running," I think, or possibly "A Coffin For Starsky." Must have been somewhere late in the first season, because I didn't get to see The Fix until it was rerun in syndication. I started writing my own stuff around this time (I was in junior high...I know that dates me), which is long gone, thank heavens...but the characters stuck with me throughout the years.
I rediscovered S&H when I entered graduate school...everybody gotta have something, and I was in a new city and it was a new challenge, and pursuing one's lifelong dream can be extremely stressful. TNT had just started airing the episodes, so I kept myself entertained. Had every single one until I moved in with my "spousal alternative"...not that he was against it, I just tend to clean house when I move. I kept about 25, I guess...
Came back this most recent time when Columbia House offered the series on tape, and then I began to look around on the web for S&H fans. Lo and behold...what treasures I found! And then I met a listsib who told me that I was far from the only one who had been writing fiction all these years, and I found even more treasures.
So here I am...I've been writing now again for about a year, and am LOVING it. I have been thoroughly impressed by the artistry of the writers I have found, and am proud to be among you. I write gen (and am dipping my toe into slash) but like to read all kinds of writings. Plus, it's always fun to talk about the guys.
I am a Hutch woman, have been from day one. There's just something about Hutch that appeals to me psychologically (okay, and the looks didn't hurt either), and I absolutely love David's music...I also followed this from the beginning, and have recently been reacquiring his albums. However, both Paul and David impress me with their courage, their perseverance, their talent...and of course, their wonderful relationship with each other.
Anyway, as this intro should demonstrate, I tend to be very verbose and very active on my mailing lists, so I hope you won't mind when I jump in right away and have a lot to say. Thanks for letting me join in...I am eager to hear more about zines and other types of things...
