5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Xander, just 'cause he has the potential to be so much more than how he was written in the show.

Favourite non-alcoholic drink right now is Diet Lime Coke and Alcoholic is any kind of Vodka cooler.

1) What got you into fanfic writing? - way back when I was 14 I discovered a little site known as slayerfanfic.com. I devoured pretty much the entire thing, apart from the highest rated stuff - I was good girl until I was at least 16 ;) I first started writing about a year later - and I will be forever glad that I never got up the guts to post either of the two fics I wrote. One was an awful marysue fic and the other was B/A even if it was a crossover. I left it all alone for a few years and then in 2002 (I think) so four or so years later, discovered J/P in the ST:VOY fandom and finally got the guts to post something, even if it was little - it can't have been too long after that that I discovered Jinni's little part of the web and whatever it was called back then. and it just snowballed from there. ;)

2) What was your first fandom that you obsessed over? - fandom in the sense of finding it on the net? Buffy. I was a total Buffy fangirl. But if we go further back ignoring the net and just focusing on the shows? Star Trek. From an early age... I watched TNG with my Mum and then DS9 and Voyager... and then Enterprise.

3) If you could choose, which one of your fandom characters would you "marry" and why? ;) And no harems. :P - :P No harems at all? Meanie! lol! I can see Colby looking at me from your icon... and I'm feeling guilty, because it's my guilty pleasure - Xander. I know that on the show they tried to say that Xander and marrying is not a good idea - but he's just... it's possibly why I find it so hard to write him, why I've only just recently started writing him. Maybe why it's so hard to find good Xander fic. He's just THE guy. Maybe one day Colby will overtake that, but there's little voice in the back of my mind that's saying Colby's just a passing crush... Xander's still there.

4) How would you describe yourself to someone who has never met you. - uh, looks wise - I'm short, with long dark hair and glasses. Temprement wise I'm sarcastic, cynical and bitchy - but often have people asking me for advice... like my Mum I'm quite good at reading people.

5) If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go? - I feel odd saying this because I have a friend who is right now travelling the world (parts of Asia and then on to Australia and god knows where he is right now) and another who's going off to New Zealand in September. But where I most want to go? New York... this has been a dream of mine since I was little. And even 9/11 didn't make me falter on it. I will get there one day.

Here's some Xander fic that I read all the time and keep re-reading. One is a yahoo group you have to join, but it's soooo worth it.

Oh, The Places He Goes! by phouka (http://www.tthfanfic.com/Series-162)
Xander's travels from approximately 2 years post S7 and all the things (and people) that happen to him.

Xander Harris and the Archeologist's Fedora by Tenhawk (http://www.grandt.com/th_presents/fedora.html)
The Man with the Hat is Back for all new adventures with all new enemies, and the same old hat.

Ethan Rayne thinks he has a sure way to drive the Coucil and his old pall Ripper crazy. Ressurect, even if only for one night, the one man in the last century who recovered more relics of power than any other.

And drop him right on the Hellmouth.

As if Xander Harris' life wasn't complicated enough already.

SEAL Team Thirteen by Tenhawk (http://www.grandt.com/th_presents/team13.html)
Recruited to do a job he isn't sure he's capable of, entrusted with the lives of more people than he'd ever imagined in his worst nightmares, Xander Harris finds himself as the designated expert on the supernatural for the United States Navy.

His job?

Recruit, Train, and Field a team capable of meeting any supernatural threat, whether it be on or under the Sea, in the Air, or on Land.

The Only Easy Day, Was Yesterday - Still a work in progress.

Tenahawk (http://www.grandt.com/XanderZone/stories/index.php?author=Tenhawk) - a collection of a lot of his stories on XanderZone.

Fics by Tenhawk and select authors (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/th_presents/?yguid=260905923) - some of the stories from XanderZone are continued here in the Files section. Including the Future Imperfect Series which I absolutely love, love, love!
