Previously known as TeamBlue and MaryAnne here at FFNet, I've written fanfiction and posted online since 1996. I started writing when I was 12, many years before the internet existed. I attempted murder mysteries, political thrillers and my earliest forays into fanfiction began in writing some Star Trek: TNG stories. I had the crazy idea that I would try to write something for Paramount's "official" series of fiction novels at the time but I never developed anything that far.

Anyway, I've dabbled in the following fandoms:

The Dukes of Hazzard, The Rockford Files, Hogan's Heroes, The Greatest American Hero (x with DOH), Route 66

I also wrote a couple of sequels to a long forgotten Burt Reynolds movie from 1978 called Hooper. James Best, who played Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane on the Dukes was also in this movie and thus inspired the stories.

I've been a member of FFNet for over 20 years and during that time I also established various websites to host my fanfic and posted some stories here. Now I'm in the process of consolidating some websites and my fanfics so I will be adding a couple of fics here in the coming weeks after this profile update.

I'm also currently in the process of trying to write a novel for possible publication - literally a concept for a Hogan's Heroes fic I had in mind once (what would have been Sustaining the Wings Part 3).

You can find my Dukes of Hazzard fanfic at dukesofhazzardfanfic dot com under the "MaryAnne" author page.

I'll be posting three "new" stories here in the next few weeks after this profile update, however, they are not new. I am posting these stories here strictly for archive purposes as I will be shutting down my BlueInk fanfic site in October of 2020. Of the two Hooper fanfics that will posted, the second story "Demons and Angels" remains unfinished.

The Rockford Files story that will be posted was originally written in 1994.

Once upon at time, I came across a story here on fanfiction in which the author did not have basic grammar, punctuation, sentence structure or paragraphing skills. Various reviews attempted to, gently, point this out. (Yeah, a couple of reviews were not so gentle). Nonetheless, with each subsequent chapter the author posted, an author note, basically a tirade against those who criticized the work, started each story. Eventually, to make a long badly written story short, the fic was taken down in protest. Not long after, I came across this...

Proverb 12-1: Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.

So true!
