Some Excerpts

Why did you choose your pen name?

Well, I'm obsessed with the mysterious creatures of the deep sea. Adux is derived from the scientific name for the giant squid: Architeutis dux.

When did you start writing fanfiction?

I've been reading it for years, but I started writing about a month ago (March 2003).

Would you agree that fanfiction is a genre dominated by women, and if so, why do you think it's so?

I would agree that women dominate this genr[e]. It's hard to answer why without getting too much into gender classification. Young girls are encouraged to use their imagination more than boys; we play dress up and have imaginary tea parties while the boys are outside playing soccer. This reflects on our interests when we grow up.

Are you a woman?

Absolutely!

This is a site devoted to antagonists. Could you reveal us your favourite Mr. Bad Guy?

Oh, that's a tough one. It's a close draw between "Shaka Zulu" from the 1985 Willam C. Faure miniseries and "Ying Zheng" from The Emperor and the Assasin.
