Bio
Ciardha has been my online name since 1997, all my stories are published under that name.
My first fanfic series were Rogue and Gambit stories- since August 1993, first posted online in the spring of 1997.
I'm one of those first generation American anime/manga fans ("Speed Racer" was the first dubbed anime I was a fan of, early 1971. The dub of Yamato (Star Blazers) made me a confirmed anime/manga fan- summer of 1980. I've written a few fanfics about "ships" I've liked in various series over the years. You can see those fanfics on fanfiction net. I may post some of them here as well.
Got into Buffy the Vampire Slayer fandom during season 4, liked Buffy and Spike from the start, so I was glad when they became involved. I wrote one multichapter fanfic about them in 2004. It's AU after the ending of BTVS. I'll post it here soon.
I've vaguely had an interest in Doctor Who since I saw pictures of Tom Baker in the old Science-Fiction magazine Starlog in the late 1970's but the show of that time didn't really capture my interest, although the concept did. A similar thing happened with the 1996 movie- and certainly Paul McGann was a rather handsome man at the time, and I did like his sweet and funny and bit romantic 8th Doctor, but the horridly written story with the bizarre Master was so bad it just didn't quite click with me. At the beginning of 2012 I started renting the Who revival series, and it finally clicked. Liked the Ninth Doctor but was kind of eh about the companion Rose (frankly I liked her mom Jackie a lot more!). But it was River Song in season 5 and 6 with the 11th Doctor that made me a serious Who fan, and a serious RiverxDoctor shipper. River is probably close to my favorite fictional character in all the many fandoms I've been in over the years. Glad Manhattan finally gave the canon clues River had saved herself in the Library (seasons 5-6 left more subtle hints) So of course I had to start writing RiverxDoctor fanfics. :)
