You'd be surprised (or maybe not) what has a fanfic following out there. Even the bible has fanfiction written about it. The list at fanfiction.net is pretty interesting.

So that "3/5s of M'ville Silver-fueled version of "the siege of Jericho" with the Israelites using kazoos and dressed as 20s Flappers" story of mine could see daylight?

That might actually get me to read a bible fanfiction

I've written several short stories, but never had any published.

One of my short-term goals is to write a childrens book.
maybe it should be a LONG term goal

Do college papers count?

The best thing I have ever written was my senior thesis on Telepresence and Video Games

So yes, I've been published, but it ain't a fun read, unless you really dig computer systems.

I used to write "for fun" a lot, but it really fell by the wayside. I do love my job though, however nerdy it may be.

Hubby always jokes that I can document the hell out of anything.

My goal would either to be a published children's author or write erotica.

That's what you do???

Yeah. It only tasted like monkey. No side of goat or pig or anything.

I was a bit disappointed.

But they always start with, "Come sit on Ol' Uncle Garr's lap and let him tell you a story"

by the time they are freshman at Iowa State, they've learned that Uncle Garr is not the greatest storyteller?
