Author has written 30 stories for Star Wars, Doctor Who, and Torchwood.

After many years spent happily writing stories for Pern fanzines, Aeshna was seduced over the the Star Wars side of the fic fence by TPM (mostly concentrating on the New Trilogy/JA period and with a taste for AU). She wandered off after RotS and found a new writing home in the new series of Doctor Who and it's spin-offs, particularly Torchwood, which has far more scope for juicy gen than most people seem to realise! Het, gen and slash are all possibilities here, though with little interest in the more obvious and popular pairings - if you have a yen for Master/Padawan or Doctor/Companion romance, then this is probably not the fic you're looking for...

Aeshna is British, looking back on her 30th birthday from the wrong side, and is happy to accept feedback of all forms.
