Fan Fiction

 I found the world of Janet Evanovich Fan Fiction quite by accident in November of 2022 after reading her Stephanie Plum and Wicked series. On discovery of a whole new world of Stephanie Plum stories, I started to read... and it was wonderful.

Reading voraciously, I started my journey by reading the earliest stories, so some authors got comments on their stories written over two decades ago. Then, I tried my hand at writing my version of a Babe story, including all the canon up to the latest book- which was 29 in the Plum series at that time.

I recently reread that first effort and now understand why editors are a needed part in the story telling process. I am tempted to rewrite the story, not changing the main tale, but clarifying some bits and pieces. 

I have two stories I am writing now... one is only two chapters away from completion, and the other is over halfway. 

The community is supportive, even when a troll sneaks in.

Three years later, I am still hooked.
