Some Excerpts
How did you first find out about fandom and fanworks?
The respectable answer would be through Livejournal, when I first discovered the Boostle fandom in 2004. But the embarrassing and more true answer is through my over-investment in Yugioh in 2003. I discovered, shocked -— oh my gosh. There are other weird kids on the Internet who think Seto Kaiba is hot. Boom. Fandom.
What fandom things have inspired you the most?
Being in the Star Trek (2009) fandom was the most inspiring moment I’ve had as a fan. There was not only so much excellent art, there was impressive community building. I’m still looking for a fandom experience like this, and hope it comes through new platforms like Pillowfort and Discord.
Do you have any new plans or projects for Check, Please!?
At the moment, the only plans for Check, Please! are to finish Year Four. Though, I’ve been working on and off on a comic called Madison, which is an 18+ comic that follows Jack and Bitty’s first summer as a couple.
