By 1999 she had written 83 stories and attended 5 conventions. In 2005 she, together with fellow fan LT, debuted Look At His Butt!, a podcast dedicated to all things William Shatner.
In the late 1990s, Jungle Kitty signed her Usenet posts with "It's not your grandmother's Star Trek." Ranting (but hopefully not raving) (March 7)
