Rebane made his debut in Looming magazine in 1981 and two years later won a prize in Noorus magazine's prose competition . Her first - and so far only - book was published in 1986 and contained seventeen short stories. It was reviewed many times, sometimes devastating and condescending, sometimes quite positive: The literary scholar Heino Puhvel praised her "good feeling for form, her ability to concentrate and the ability to write briefly and concisely." He praised an imaginary interview with the magazine "Die emancipated woman ”with Immanuel Kant , which clearly shows the author's reading.

Rebane then wrote other stories, some in the science fiction genre. She also wrote short stories in Russian, English and German.
