Some Excerpts
When did you start writing fanfiction?
When I was in high school. I hadn’t done much in college except for creative writing classes, especially while in graduate school. It wasn’t until seeing EP1 in 1999 that I started up writing again.
Would you agree that fanfiction is a genre dominated by women, and if so, why do you think it's so?
Yes and no. I know some male writers who are very prolific and excellent at their crafting. To me, it’s more a difference between "decent and garbage" fiction; that which is well written and that which needs to be run through a spell-checker program, two or three beta readers, and so on. And those sorts of fiction seem to be more prolific then things worth reading, at times, and produced by women and men.
This is a site devoted to antagonists. Could you reveal us your favourite Mr. Bad Guy?
Well, that’s the thing: I don’t considered the conventionally-labeled “Baddie” as always the antagonist. Personally, I see General Veers as a hero, defending his government, and Leia as the usurper and conniver; same with Grand Admiral Thrawn…he was defending the government he pledged to serve, and he did. Darth Maul, on the other hand, is just such a superior creature to everyone and everything else in Episode 1, I don’t know how anyone can resist that magnetism (and yes, he’s my favorite Baddie).
