So proud of the work I’ve gotten to do on my collegiate opera debut! Iolanthe opens TONIGHT, and I can’t wait to introduce everyone to my interpretation of this sweet, courageous and free spirited fairy that I’ve grown to love so much.

Sorry if youve answered this before but ive seen you around and im curious, how long have you been writing for mash? Ive seen some fics on ao3 with old dates, but then I realized the dates on ao3 go back before the website was even founded so I thought I ought to just ask you directly
I first started writing M*A*S*H fanfic in 2003, inspired by Iolanthe.
I wrote two big sagas - Sins and Virtues, and the MirrorMASH sequence - and a bunch of shorter stories and a lot of drabbles for the old MASH100 community on livejournal. Then I ran out of steam - Iolanthe had died: I was losing interest in M*A*S*H and was entering a dry period for writing fiction, due to various reasons in my personal life. The very last story I wrote about any of the M*A*S*H characters was about Father Francis Mulcahy, who had a small part in a completely different series of stories.
About 2021 I started reading MASH fanfic again: in 2022, I got the idea of moving Iolanthe's stories to AO3 - and then I thought, if hers, why not mine? Plus, I was getting a new big idea for a Ten Years Later story that would become All We Know. While I was thinking this through, I even added a few more chapters to MirrorMASH, and planned out the ending.
So in 2022, while I was finding out how to archive Iolanthe's stories, I also archived mine, and just for the sake of it, I archived them all with their "date posted" the date I wrote them, or finished them anyway. Sometimes for the old print stories this was kind of guesswork, but I'm pretty sure I got the year right.
I've been writing fanfic for 40 years now, so a lot of my stories go back to before AO3 existed - before the WorldWideWeb existed! but AO3 lets you change the date posted to any year in the 20th or 21st century.
