==Tower Sworn Interview==

 +
''November 9, 2014''
 +
 
 +
'''Why did you choose Brown?'''
 +
 
 +
This question has a really long answer. Ultimately because it's my home. Having been the Director of Membership for 4 years and seeing all the other groups I'm positive of this. We're pretty straightforward without being in your face bitchy. We don't suffer fools gladly. We're supportive without being touchy-feely. I just really enjoy us as a group. I think we're awesome.
 +
 
 +
'''Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?'''
 +
 
 +
I don't know that I'm really like the Browns in the books. I do love books and I love to read. I'm not much of a daydreamer.
 +
 
 +
'''Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?'''
  
−
==Senior Member Interview==
+
Verin and Saerin. I won't go into details because spoilers.
−
''January 29, 2008''
 
  
−
*;When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah?
+
'''How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?'''
−
Raised Aes Sedai April 2006
 
  
 +
Um, sometime in my mid teens?
  
−
*;Why did you choose Brown?
+
'''How did you first get into the series?'''
−
I chose Brown because that is where I belonged. It is where I felt most comfortable and was the Ajah at tv.net that I identified with the most.
 
  
 +
My Mother turned me on to the series. She tried to get me to read Eye of the World several times before I finally gave in.
  
−
*;Are you like the Browns in the Books?
+
'''Who is your favorite "hero"?'''
−
Well, I read a lot. And I like to know things. I've been accused of being rather spacey. But as far as the obsessive research goes, nope.
 
  
−
*;Do you love books and do you daydream a lot?
+
Mat all the way. My kind of guy.  
−
Yes to both.
 
  
−
*;How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
+
'''Favorite bad guy/gal?'''
−
I spent a year as a Citizen and had a blast. It was the right thing for me to wait to apply to the Tower. Novice and Accepted were great! I had even more fun once I got into the Tower Halls and started interacting more with the people there.
 
  
−
*;How long have you been a member of TV.net?
+
Hmm this is tough. Graendal is a top pick here.  
−
I've been a member since August 2004.
 
  
−
*;What things do you do for TV.net?
+
'''Favorite book and scene?'''
−
For TV.net? Well, I'm the current Heart of the Brown Ajah, so that means helping Ismene out when she needs it. I'm going to be next year's Dragon*con local liason which will be lots of organizing.
 
  
−
*;How did you get to read the Series?
+
I'm really fond of Fires of Heaven in the early part of the series. For the last part I don't think I can pick a favorite. There's so much good stuff going on there.
−
My Mother introduced me to the series.
+
As for scene, I LOVE Nynaeve's scene where she sets Lan at the end of the Borderlands for his journey to Tarwin's Gap.  
  
−
*;To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?
+
'''If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?'''
−
Not bonded.
 
  
−
*;Who is your mentee, if you have one?
+
I have no idea. Probably a tavern wench but I'd love to be an Aes Sedai.  
−
My mentee is Muerandah d'Acre.
 
  
−
*;Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
+
'''How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become Tower Sworn?'''
−
Hmm, I love Verin. Big surprise right? Not the whole nation, but I love Ebou Dar.
 
  
−
*;Have you ever attended any Real Life Functions? Did you like them if you did, and why? (Why do you think people should come to any future functions?)
+
I found the site when I was looking for a release date for one of the books. I have no idea which one. I lurked around for a while before finally making an account. I stayed because the forums here were so different from any I'd found elsewhere. Actually friendly and people responded.
−
I've been to Dragon*con '05, '06 and '07. I hope to make an Anni one day. I've also hosted and attended smaller informal gatherings. I love them! I love getting to know new people. Really, some people are more outgoing in RL, some more introverted than they are on the boards. I've met some of my closest friends by going to RL events.
 
  
−
*;What kind of music do you like?
+
'''What do you do in "real life"?'''
−
Sort of a mix. Some rap, top 40, pop, country, R&B, Blues, rock - classic, alternative and just straight rock.
 
  
−
*;What is the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?
+
I work in e-commerce for a restaurant supply company.
−
I plead the 5th.
 
  
−
*;What job do you have?
+
'''Do you have any hobbies?'''
−
I'm an analyst at a bank.
 
  
−
*;Do you have a pet?
+
I crochet, read a lot and waste time on the internet.  
−
I have two Great Danes! Don't get me started, I'll talk about them forever.
 
  
−
*;What languages do you speak?
+
'''What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?'''
−
Just English.
 
  
−
*;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
+
Most of it.  
−
I wanted to be a Social Worker.
 
  
−
*;Seanchan or Shara?
+
'''What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?'''
−
Shara. I just like the idea of slaying anyone who steps past their assigned boundaries.
 
  
−
*;Verin or Adeleas?
+
Supernatural, Doctor Who, American Horror Story. Couples Retreat cracks me up every time I watch it, Fight Club. Lots of others that I just can't pull out of my brain right now.  
−
Verin, ftw.
 
  
−
*;Board games or computer games?
+
'''Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?'''
−
Board games.
 
  
−
*;Coke or Pepsi?

I like a lot of urban fantasy and trashy erotica.  
−
Coke. I'm from Atlanta!
 
  
−
*;A short bio about yourself.

Let's see... I'm 32, married, no kids. Don't think I'm going to have any. I live outside Atlanta, GA.

I wanted to be a social worker.
