Description
Geckos are small tropical lizards that eat bugs and can cling upside down to ceilings. They also make a noise that sounds like a cross between a dog's bark and a bird's chirp. Jae, however, does none of these things.
"Jae Gecko" is the pseudonym for a passionate, politically-minded, idealistic, stubborn, compulsively detail-oriented "West Wing" fan. In her "spare time" (ha!) she travels constantly, makes music, cooks, and writes, and sometimes that writing includes West Wing fanfiction. The fanfiction that she writes has tended to be classified as "slash," but Jae thinks people are better off not trying too hard to classify her stories according to existing categories. Somebody's always going to end up disappointed, and somebody else is always going to end up missing out on something they might have liked.
She first heard of fanfiction when she was 16 and brand new to science fiction fandom, and she was intrigued, but it never held any real appeal for her before she saw "West Wing." She came to the show later than many--her first episode was the two-hour season two opener--and there was something about the combination of watching those flashback scenes and having to try and figure out who the characters were at the same time that caused her to wonder whether there might be more there than meets the eye. She felt vindicated when one of the other people she was watching it with turned to one of the die-hard fans in the room and said: "So, these two used to be lovers?"
