Back in June, when I was in Copenhagen with a few friends for Nasty Cut Fest (a small DIY punk festival that I might still write about – it was awesome fun), an email dropped into my inbox:
I first stumbled upon your fanfiction when I read your story about the Inquisitors, who only exist as a footnote in the X-COM timeline, on Fanfiction.net back in 2001 or so. I collect old websites and online works and host them on my own website. Would you be open to allowing me to re-publish your X-COM fanfics on my own? Or is there a chance you might repost your fanfics on your current website?
Suffice to say this wasn’t an email I’d expected to receive – ever. I responded saying that I’d be happy for the stories to be re-published, and was touched to learn that they were “in any way remembered”.
