Zero was interviewed in 1999. They ran Infinite Spike Links.
From the introduction: Zero runs the well-known Spike/James Marsters site, Red Moon which has news, images, video clips, sounds, wallpapers, plus! themes, a chop shop, downloads, fan art, a biography, articles, and interviews. She also runs other Spike-related websites, such as Buffy the Vampire Shagger and JamesMarsters.Com, as well as Evil Eye, a site for her graphic creations (many Buffy-related). You can find her fanfiction at Zero Impact."
Some Excerpts
I have an obsessive site-making compulsion. I'd become a big fan of Buffy, since a few friends had finally gotten it through my thick skull that yes, the TV show could *definitely* top the movie. ;) And of course my favorite character was immediately Spike. But when I went out onto the web looking for information, I found that there weren't a lot of truly comprehensive sites. Most were lacking in design and navigation, and it was all the same ten or so photographs over and over again, and people just ripping off each other's quote lists and stuff like that. And it seemed to me that there was a lot more potential there then people were uncovering with their sites. My main goal, I think, when I started out, was to get to the biggest and most thorough collection of images. And it just kind of built from there.
In the summer, there's not so much to do while Buffy's on hiatus. I've used that time to sort of catch up, doing captures and movies and such for all of the episodes that I hadn't had copies of before (since I came into the show late in the second season). So these days I'm doing maybe one or two small updates each week. But I have this eerie premonition that with James as a regular in season four, I'm going to get awfully busy with the site awfully fast.
I use Adobe Photoshop 5.0 almost exclusively. I don't care what anyone says... Photoshop is the big cheese when it comes to graphics. It doesn't get any better.
