1. Leave a comment saying you would like to be interviewed.
2. I will then respond with 5 questions that quite possibly could be personal—or not, whatever mood I'm in.
3. Then update your LJ with the questions I've asked
4. Put these same rules (or something that resembles these rules) with your questions
5. When people ask you to interview them, you will ask them five questions.
Ann's questions, and my responses:
1. How did you become interested in vidding?
I stumbled into fandom at the same time I was doing an M.A. in Film, back in 1991. My course work included a production course, so I learned to edit on a professional editing deck at the same time I was also refining my knowledge of continuity editing. Stir in seeing my first fan vids, add a pinch of fandoms I adore (Blake's 7, UNCLE and Pros, initially) and I was desperate to vid. But after editing on a real deck, the thought of vidding on two VCRs just about made me break out in hives. So for years I accumulated song ideas, vidded in my head and waited until I could afford a computer powerful enough to handle digital editing. That finally happened in 2001, I made my first vid in 2002, and I've never looked back.
2. A Swordspoint question: Alex or Richard?
Richard, absolutely. Much as I adore Alex, it will always be the competent one with the weapon that I really love. Plus, in Privilege of the Sword, Richard comes with even more added angst.
3. What do you like on your toast?
Marmalade, spread very thinly indeed. Though I usually make do with raspberry jam, since I'm the only marmalade lover in our household. (Oooh, lemon curd is also awesome. Must get some soon.)
4. What's your favorite piece of LOTR fanfiction that you've written yourself?
Ya know, in any other fandom I could answer this off the top of my head, but in LOTR? Hmmm. I think it might just be In Memory Yet Green, which I wrote out of frustration with how quickly Boromir is forgotten in the books. It's my personal tribute to my favorite LOTR character.
5. What's your favorite piece of LOTR fanfiction written by someone else?
Crikey, another tough one. The story in the fandom I've read most often is actually LOTR RPS: Cinzia's A Long Journey, which taught me that it was possible to create a long, intricate narrative in RPS, complete with complexly rendered characters. In LOTR FPS proper, it's quite possibly Plastic Chevy's The Captain and the King, which is, gasp!, Gen, but has enough strength of feeling between Aragorn and Boromir to keep me going. I pull out my zine copy of it to re-read at regular intervals. And then there'sjust_ann_now's The Haradric Whore and Her Son: A Love Story, which has a lovely portrayal of Boromir and quite fabulous original characters. (And yes, Ann, I would have said that even if these weren't your questions.)
Anyone else up for an interview?
