Celandine Brandybuck identifies as a bisexual woman who writes primarily in the Tolkein fandom though she dabbles in Pirates of the Caribbean and Harry Potter. She indicates her reasons for writing slash:
I've asked several other writers of slash why they write it, and their answers largely jibe with my own. They write slash because it lets them look at the universe of that fandom from a different angle than the traditional one. They write it because they want to show two people in love whose relationship begins from a more equal position than traditional male/female relationships are usually capable of. They write it because they think that, frankly, two men making love is a very sexy thing.
Her work is archived at Wellinghall - Celandine's Haven, a regularly updated site. A sample excerpt from a drabble (a fanfic piece of exactly 100 words):
"What are these straps for?"
Draco sighed, fumbling with the hood he was trying to remove from the falcon's head. "They're called jesses, Harry. They're like a collar, you attach a leash to them to hold the bird to the perch."
"Oh." Harry tapped his wand impatiently and Draco reached out to pluck it from his fingers before he upset the bird any further. "Why are we doing this again?"
"Because falconry is a noble sport, you git, and you asked what I liked to do in my free time."
"Yeah, but I thought it would be something more... gratifying."
Her essay on slash fanfiction is the only defense of her hobby she has publicized.
