9. What influences you to write Transformers fanfic the way you do?

Well, you see I have a rather twisted imagination so I just think up weird ideas and write them up...depending on if I have more than just the beginning in mind.

10. What other Transformers fanfics writers write in a similar way to you?

I haven't really read a fanfic by all the authors on Lexicon so I wouldn't really know.

11. How much time do you usually spend writing Transformers fanfic?

Writing it on the computer, writing it in my mind, please help me out here.

12. What inspired you to write Transformers fanfic?

Watching Beast Wars and Beast Machines of course...and crying because I felt the series wasn't long enough or I thought of other versions of certain episodes.

13. What drew you to Transformers in particular?

When I was in grade 3, I saw Beast Wars for the first time (although my mom says I watched the G1 series when I was younger. Look it aired a year before my birth and ended in 87, how the heck am I supposed to remember something if I'm like 2 or 3 years old?) and didn't like it, I admit that. The next day, I saw it again and fell in love with the Transformers series.

14. Who is your favorite Generation 1 or Generation 2 Transformers character (fan-created or official) and why?

Um, I don't remember them all so I'll just say, Optimus Prime, Rodimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream and Ultra Magnus. (G1, I've never seen G2)

15. What do you like most about the official Generation 1 and Generation 2 canon?

I don't remember.

16. Who is your favorite Beast Wars character (fan-created or official) and why?

I like all of them. I can't live without one being left out. Hehehe.

17. What do you like about the Beast Wars canon the most?

The fact that they not only had problems with the enemy, but with themselves and the third party in the show (the aliens). That and I'm interested in figuring out all of their pasts before entering the Beast Wars.

18. What do you like most about the Beast Machines canon?

Everything (except the ending of the series).

19. Who is your favorite Beast Machines character (fan-created or official) and why?

All of them. Their attitudes are awesome.

20. What do you like most about the Robots in Disguise canon?

Hmmm, the fact that Sky-Byte turned from seriously annoying to incredibly funny.

21. Who is your favorite Robots in Disguise character (fan-created or official) and why?

Sky-Byte

22. What do you like most about the Armada canon?

That their adding more information to the great war (although I think it's more off a mini-con war).

23. Who is your favorite Armada character (fan-created or official) and why?

Hmmm...never thought about it before. Course I haven't seen enough of the series to decide.

24. What parts of your Transformers fanfics are based on events in real life?

Nope. None. Maybe later on but none of them involve anything about my life.

25. What would you like to change about the Transformers fanfics you've written?

Nothing. I like them just the way they are. I just don't want any writer's block that's all.

26. What do you consider to be a trite or overused theme in fanfics and why?

I have no idea.

27. Have you had any interesting feedback as a result of your Transformers fanfics?

Not yet. (I don't think anyways)

28. How much time do you spend online? What percentage of that time is devoted to Transformers?

If i could, I'd spend all day online but I have things to do and a sister who likes to go online and only one computer.

29. Which Transformers newsgroups do you use? Select any that apply.

I don't use any Transformers newsgroups

30. Have you any other comments to make about Transformers fanfic?

I feel that since Transformers G1, G2, RID, Beast Wars and Beast Machines have either ended or been taken off the air, we all feel that we need a way to remember the world of Transformers by writing fics on what we think of one or more Autobots and/or Decepticons, episode we feel the people from Hasbro, Mainframe productions or whatever they are missed in the series, episodes we feel we could add and get away with it making sense or anything else we could add to the storyline of Transformers.

Personally, the reason why I continue is because I watch and listen to other things and I automatically think 'hey, that could be a great fic, how can I add to it?' and I try very hard to work on it. I also try to go into the minds of the Transformer and figure out what I could add to their past while keeping them in character.

Back to everyone else, we all like Transformers and we all have different ideas which we would like to express to the entire world but since we are limited by the fact that not all of us can be part of the crew that makes the show, we put it on the computer and we show it to other fans so they can see what our ideas are instead of bottling them all up.

I'd better stop now, what I've written now looks like a speech and I don't wanna be called the reincarnation of Optimus Prime or Primal or either one of them. Thank you for taking the time to read this interview. See ya.
