''November 30, 2012''

;Ajah Questions:
;Why did you choose Brown?
It’s my home. The place where I belong here in TarValon.Net. As an Accepted I guested with all the Ajahs, and spending time with each made me realize I was a Brown.

;Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?
I read a lot, and love it. I’m not a daydreamer, but tend to get deeply lost in the books I’m reading, or the subject I’m researching, and won’t notice what’s happening around me.

;Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?
I’ve been a Verin fan from the moment she was introduced.

;Book Questions:
;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
2002 or 2003 I think.

;How did you first get into the series?
I first tried to read the Finnish translations of the Eye of the World, but didn’t like it at all. A couple of years later I bought the English paperback on a whim, and found out it wasn’t such a bad series at all. Apparently the Finnish translations are not that good.

;Who is your favorite "hero"?
Mat Cauthon from the main characters. He’s always a fun read. He’s also a reluctant hero, but he doesn’t whine about it too much, and in the end he does what he has to do.

;Favorite bad guy/gal?
There are some really creepy ones, like Padan Fain. I like to read their points of view. I also liked reading about Semirhage, but she became a bit disappointing in The Gathering Storm.

;Favorite book and scene?
TGS is my favorite book so far, when the last is not yet published. Favorite scene is Verin’s big revelation.

;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
By my looks I’d probably be an Aiel, but their society is too violent to my taste. Tuatha’an is more likely.

;General Questions:
;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
I found it when I was looking for some info about WoT, and stayed because I made friends here.

;What do you do in "real life"?
I write my dissertation. Musicology.

;Do you have any hobbies?
Reading, jogging, dancing Irish.

;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
Classical and contemporary classical are my specialties. But I listen to different genres too: jazz, progressive rock, sometimes hard rock, early 20th century schlager.

;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
I don’t own a television, so I’m pretty much ignorant about shows. Some series I have as DVD’s, like Lost and Game of Thrones. Favorite movies… some artsy ones like Kieslowski’s, or Kubrik’s.

;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
I love everything by Umberto Eco, Gabriel García Márquez, Mihail Bulgakov. Always loved Russian classics, like Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy. Haruki Murakami’s a new favorite. From fantasy/scifi genre I love Patrick Rothfuss’ books, Brandon Sanderson’s own stories, all Robin Hobb’s stories, and now it seems I’m getting hooked into the Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson.

;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
First I wanted to be the driver of a street cleaning machine. Later the typical school girl stuffs like nurse or teacher.

==Senior Member Interview==
''November 30, 2012''

;Ajah Questions:
;Why did you choose Brown?
It’s my home. The place where I belong here in TarValon.Net. As an Accepted I guested with all the Ajahs, and spending time with each made me realize I was a Brown.

;Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?
I read a lot, and love it. I’m not a daydreamer, but tend to get deeply lost in the books I’m reading, or the subject I’m researching, and won’t notice what’s happening around me.

;Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?
I’ve been a Verin fan from the moment she was introduced.

;Book Questions:
;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
2002 or 2003 I think.

;How did you first get into the series?
I first tried to read the Finnish translations of the Eye of the World, but didn’t like it at all. A couple of years later I bought the English paperback on a whim, and found out it wasn’t such a bad series at all. Apparently the Finnish translations are not that good.

;Who is your favorite "hero"?
Mat Cauthon from the main characters. He’s always a fun read. He’s also a reluctant hero, but he doesn’t whine about it too much, and in the end he does what he has to do.

;Favorite bad guy/gal?
There are some really creepy ones, like Padan Fain. I like to read their points of view. I also liked reading about Semirhage, but she became a bit disappointing in The Gathering Storm.

;Favorite book and scene?
TGS is my favorite book so far, when the last is not yet published. Favorite scene is Verin’s big revelation.

;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
By my looks I’d probably be an Aiel, but their society is too violent to my taste. Tuatha’an is more likely.

;General Questions:
;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
I found it when I was looking for some info about WoT, and stayed because I made friends here.

;What do you do in "real life"?
I write my dissertation. Musicology.

;Do you have any hobbies?
Reading, jogging, dancing Irish.

;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
Classical and contemporary classical are my specialties. But I listen to different genres too: jazz, progressive rock, sometimes hard rock, early 20th century schlager.

;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
I don’t own a television, so I’m pretty much ignorant about shows. Some series I have as DVD’s, like Lost and Game of Thrones. Favorite movies… some artsy ones like Kieslowski’s, or Kubrik’s.

;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
I love everything by Umberto Eco, Gabriel García Márquez, Mihail Bulgakov. Always loved Russian classics, like Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy. Haruki Murakami’s a new favorite. From fantasy/scifi genre I love Patrick Rothfuss’ books, Brandon Sanderson’s own stories, all Robin Hobb’s stories, and now it seems I’m getting hooked into the Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson.

;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
First I wanted to be the driver of a street cleaning machine. Later the typical school girl stuffs like nurse or teacher.

== The Brown Ajah at TarValon.net ==

'''Who we are:'''

If you ask 3 Browns that question, you'll get at least 4 answers. We're not sure how to summarize that essential part of ourselves that drew us to the Brown Ajah. The core value of the Brown Aes Sedai is her love of knowledge and learning. We have a desire to know more about the world around us than we did yesterday, and to share what we know with others. Ask a Brown about her passion, and you'll get more information than you ever dreamed was out there!

''Some Browns seek to study whatever catches their interest, others focus solely on trying to find knowledge that has been lost, from the Age of Legends, or later.'' (The Great Hunt)

The Browns here at TarValon.net are no strangers to study. Many of us continue our education both in universities and in personal research; each finding our own niche and interests. Many of the Browns enjoy writing as well as research, several are bilingual, and we all enjoy learning from not just books but the people around us as well.

The Brown Ajah is not only about the quest for knowledge. It is also filled with Sisters, Warders, and Aspirants that are compassionate, thoughtful, and caring. We seek to learn not only about the world and history but about each other too. We are a close knit group that is calm and mellow and there is very little drama among us, unless we are rallying against a book burning of course! Many of us are quiet, and even a little shy, while others are a bit more outgoing. No matter their personality the Brown Ajah is filled with members that are kind and sincere and truly care for one another.

The Brown Ajah also has its own personal quirks and traditions. We are known for our love of cheese as well as indulging now and again in the spirit of Rum. We each have our own dust bunny that helps us to keep our books tidy, and many of the Sisters have a tendency to “Brown Out” on occasion.

If there is anything you should wish to know about, be it specific to the Brown Ajah or anything else, seek out a Brown Sister, Warder, or Aspirant as they are always willing to share the knowledge they have.

==''Senior Member Interview''==

''December 8, 2011''

*;Why did you choose Brown?
Because I thought that the Browns were a group of nice, entertaining and also serious people that I felt very comfortable around and at home with.

*;Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?
Yes, I identify with the book Browns in many ways. I totally love books (though right now I find it funnier to buy them than to read them...), and I can also be kind of "gone" when I start thinking about something. I'm also very good at trying to teach people around me about what I'm learning myself at the moment, be they interested or not.

*;Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?
Hm, well. The only Brown I can recall is Verin, and the only thing I remember is that I wasn't very fond of her.

*;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
I was a fan when I started reading them. I'm not so fond of them anymore, though. But, well. I guess I came across them somewhere back in 2005 or something, so that is probably when I first became a fan.

*;How did you first get into the series?
I got the first book from a friend for my birthday, and then I was hooked.

*;Who is your favorite "hero"?
Probably Nynaeve.

*;Favorite bad guy/gal?
Lanfear or Moghedien I think.

*;Favorite book and scene?
Absolutely no idea, my memories of the series are very weak.

*;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
I'd be a Brown Sedai!

*;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
I found tv.net through a Swedish WoT role-playing site.

*;What do you do in "real life"?
I study Japanese.

*;Do you have any hobbies?
Reading, watching strange asian dramas, reading manga, karate, swimming, video games (Assassin's Creed!)

*;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
I like a lot of stuff. Favourite at the moment? The Japanese singer/songwriter Shugo Tokumaru. I enjoy soul, pop, rock, folk. Simon and Garfunkel is one of my favourite groups.

*;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
Star Wars and the Japanese Studio Ghibli-movies. I don't watch TV, though.

*;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
The name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss is a good one. I also enjoy Terry Pratchett. I love the book JPod by Douglas Coupland.

*;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
I probably wanted to become a veterinary, but I can't really remember.

==''Senior Member Interview''==

''December 6, 2011''

*;Why did you choose Brown?
I tend to think that Brown chose me. It really seemed to fit with what I do--reading, researching, having moments where the real world gets lost--and the Browns that I met at my first JordanCon and DragonCon seemed like sisters from the start. And my office is so like a Brown study; I have a skull and hundreds of books and stacks of papers. All I need is an owl.

*;Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?
Oh, yes.

*;Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?
Sneaky, sneaky Verin is my favorite Brown.

*;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
I started reading them and loving them in the summer of 1991.

*;How did you first get into the series?
My 14-year-old brother-in-law kept following me around and harassing me to read these great books; he had ARCs of the first two. Finally I read The Eye of the World to shut him up, and was immediately hooked.

*;Who is your favorite "hero"?
I love me some Matrim Cauthon.

*;Favorite bad guy/gal?
I think Alviarin is an interesting baddie.

*;Favorite book and scene?
My favorite book changes from day to day, but my favorite chapter is chapter 5 of Lord of Chaos, "A Different Dance." It's just a wonderful showcase of Mat, and I love it to pieces.

*;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
I like to envision myself as an Aes Sedai, perhaps taking care of the 13th Depository. But really, I'd probably be hiding under my bed until the whole Last Battle thing was over.

*;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
I browsed all of the WoT sites that I could find, and tarvalon.net was among them. Then I talked to Mother and lots of other members at the first JordanCon, and I was convinced that I wanted to know these people better.

*;What do you do in "real life"?
I have the best job in the universe; I'm a member of Team Jordan. In addition to working on all things related to the books, I'm also the office manager, which covers a lot of different tasks, including occasionally catching raccoons. I've been married for over a quarter of a century, and have two wonderful sons and two crazy cats.

*;Do you have any hobbies?
I knit obsessively, and I love to play word games.

*;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
I listen to pop music most of the time, but like other kinds as well.

*;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
I love the original Star Wars movies, The Princess Bride, Transformers, and Beauty and the Beast, among many others. On TV, I love Dr. Who, Firefly, Mad Men, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Jeopardy.

*;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
Authors I love are Brandon Sanderson, Guy Gavriel Kay, George R. R. Martin, Jim Butcher, and Patrick Rothfuss on the fantasy side; on the mystery side, I love Elizabeth Peters, Sue Grafton, and Margaret Maron.

*;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
I really wanted to be a hermit and do nothing but read.

==''Senior Member Interview''==

''May 11, 2012''

'''Why did you choose Brown?'''

Hmmm. Well I’ve been around the tower since about 2004 and I’ve been around the
block, as my Who’s Who page can tell you. I ended up in Brown, because the Ajah fit
me. My impression of the Browns was that they are chill and laid-back, with a wicked
sense of humor – this pretty much describes who I am in RL.

I love learning new things and knowing random stuff, like philosophy, scientific
weirdness, and drama-dramz/gossip. My quest for knowledge is all-consuming
hunger; I have to know all of the things! Why? So I can put it all together in my
head and extrapolate ideas for my amusement. My Ajah sisters accept all aspects of
me and aren’t afraid to tell me exactly what they think, good or bad. It’s a drama-
free and non-spammy environment.

Basically I’m Brown, because it is where I can be myself.

'''Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?'''

As surprising as it may be to people, I am a lot like the Browns in the books. I do my
own thing, evidenced by my eclectic research and interests. I love reading books and
I do daydream quite a bit. I can get really passionate about my research, sometimes
ignoring inconsequential things like food and sleep if something really interests me.
I remember reading in New Spring, that the Blues viewed the Browns as letting the
talents of their Ajah members go to waste by allowing them to do whatever instead
of using them for the good of the Ajah. I want to do whatever I want, in the way that
I think is the best, not in the way that someone else thinks is best.

'''Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?'''

I know the traditional answer is Verin, and I do love Verin. My favorite, however, has
to be Saerin. She’s got a volatile temper, isn’t afraid to gets into fights, isn’t afraid
to voice her opinion, and takes charge of a situation when she deems it necessary.
Saerin also likes to get to the bottom of things, and can be single-minded about that,
particularly when something has piqued her curiosity. She’s basically like me, and I
love me.

'''How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?'''

Since 2000.

'''How did you first get into the series?'''

I had a few weeks of downtime over the summer between 9 th and 10th grade. My
family was moving in 3 weeks, so I wasn’t enrolled in any activities. One of my
friends gave me the WoT books to eliminate my boredom. I finished Books 1-5 in
those 3 weeks.

'''Who is your favorite "hero"?'''

Tuon. She’s an Empress with an odd sense of humor who is amazing at manipulating
people. Plus, she’s pretty awesome about actually knowing her subjects.

'''Favorite bad guy/gal?'''

The Dark One. It makes sense that one of my favorite characters would be the one
I’m most like.

'''Favorite book and scene?'''

Crossroads of Twilight... Just kidding. I don’t really know tbh. Favorite scene is
Nynaeve gathering the army for Lan.

'''If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?'''

The Dark One.

'''How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?'''

It was just after Crossroads of Twilight had come out. I was looking for information
on the next book and found TV.net. I’d never been on forums before, so it was a new
shiny to play with. I met some very awesome people at a local event in my first
month here, including my first-sister Allin, plus I got a new procrastination tool! I
stayed because of the people.

'''What do you do in "real life"?'''

I’m getting a PhD in microbiology, which sounds cool, but actually involves a lot of
research and patience. My general focus is on learning how viruses interact with the
immune system and determining how we can ‘boost’ your immune system to fight off
viruses better. Basically, the end goal of this is to develop steroids for your immune
system, minus effects. Specifically, I look at fever and how that correlates to patient
outcome in Arenaviruses. I got my BS in biomedical engineering, so another part
of my project is to apply engineering to my microbiology research and sell it to
traditional scientists.

I know it’s a shock, a Brown who is into higher education. If you ask me details
about my RL work, I will likely talk about it for a minimum of an hour (''Editor's note: make that three hours'').

'''Do you have any hobbies?'''

Anyone who even remotely associates with me knows that I love sports. I love
watching, playing, coaching sports. I used to do marathons/triathlons, play soccer,
and figure skate. Currently, I want to get into playing Hockey.
I enjoy playing the piano, playing rock band, and punching people in the face.

'''What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?'''

According to Raam, bad music. In actuality, I love most rock music and electronica.

'''What are some of your favorite movies/television shows?'''

Favorite TV shows: The West Wing, The Wire, Battlestar Galactica, Farscape, Better
of Ted, Sports Night, The League
Favorite Movies: Most anything Disney, Lord of the Rings, the Christopher Nolan
Batman movies, The Miracle of Life

'''Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?'''

Malazan Book of the Fallen, Lord of the Rings, 1984

'''What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?'''

Originally I wanted to be a doctor that takes out babies, but then when I learned
what was involved I decided that I’d rather be a neurosurgeon.

==Laithean Cor'dazar, Senior Member Interview (2009)==

;When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah?
I was lucky enough to be raised at the Anni Party in 2006!

;Why did you choose Brown?
I chose Brown because I had many friends in the Brown Ajah, and I felt that I fit in there very well. They were welcoming and fun, and I knew that I could be honest and myself with these women without ever feeling awkward.

;Are you like the Browns in the Books?
LOL, sometimes, but not usually. I don't wear rumpled clothes, or study history a lot, but I do have a tendency to browout once in a while.

;Do you love books and do you daydream a lot?
I love to learn about lots of different things, and every time I move my books are the first thing unpacked! As far as daydreaming... Not really. I do talk to myself a lot though.

;How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
I had a great time as a Novice and Accepted. I was lucky enough to be given a mentor who lived only 20 min from me and so I lived a RL version of being a Novice and Accepted. It was fun.

;How long have you been a member of TV.net?
5 years

;What things do you do for TV.net?
Hmmm... I helped make several gowns and masks for members going to the 2006 Anni Party as my Accepted project, I have served as the Pulse of the Brown Ajah for two years now, and I am a member of the Brown Ajah trying to make others feel welcome and comfortable at TV.net.

;How did you get to read the Series?
I have always read fantasy novels, and I needed something new to read. I went to the book store and just browsed the shelves. I found EotW and read the back. I thought it sounded interesting. After that I was hooked and had to read the whole series.

;To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?
I am bonded to Rodi Leg'na Krad of VC

;Who is your mentee, if you have one?
I do not have a mentee :(

;Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
My favorite character is Cadsuane! I love her! I don't have a favorite nation... they all have their interesting quips.

;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 went to the 5th Anni party in Texas in 2006, and I went to the 7th Anni party in Colorado in 2008.
I recommended that everyone try to make it to a RL function. It is so wonderful to meet the members in RL.

;What kind of music do you like?
I will listen to just about anything.

;What are your favorite movies?
I love the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice. It is 5 hours long, but it is great!

;Do you have a pet?
I have 3 cats. Fuzz,Ceilidh, and Geilynn. 1 dog, Phoenix, and two fish, Lucy and Sally.

;What languages do you speak?
Just English. I took a little French in high school, but the only thing I remember is the alphabet, numbers to 10, how to say "I don't speak French", how to say "where is the bathroom?", and how to say "I love you".

;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
I wanted to be an actress. I still would love to be an actress, but it is very unlikely to happen.

;A short bio about yourself.
I am a mother of a beautiful baby girl, Lynnea. I enjoy reading, sewing, baking, painting, and playing with my daughter. My entire family consists of my Fiance, daughter, Fiance's son, and all our pets. We live in Minnesota, USA.

==Laithean Cor'dazar, Senior Member Interview (2012)==

;Ajah Questions:
;Why did you choose Brown?
I had friends in Brown

;Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?
I love to read, and I love to learn. Since my diagnosis with MS and the issues there in I have noticed myself becoming more and more absent minded and unaware of the present.

;Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?
I never used to, but once it was announced that Verin was a double agent I was like, "Yeah! Kick A**!"

;Book Questions:
;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
Dear lord, I don't remember when I first started reading it!

;How did you first get into the series?
I was a fantasy reader since I first began to read chapter books. I just went to the bookstore looking for something new and came across book 1.

;Who is your favorite "hero"?
Matrim! Why? Because he reminds me of my Husband! Gorgeous smile, charming, gets out of any trouble he creates. I have always pictured him as my hubby :P

;Favorite bad guy/gal?
Hmm... I don't think we really get to spend a lot of character time with the evil folks in the books, it makes it hard to pick a favorite, or even one that I would relate to. I guess out of the ideas of them, Messana is my favorite. Secret, quiet, manipulative...Creating an army to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!

;Favorite book and scene?
I don't think I can pick a favorite.

;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain? I would definitely be an Aes Sedai.

;General Questions:
;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
I found it by looking for the date when the next book was coming out. I stayed because I formed relationships and made friends.

;What do you do in "real life"?
I cut hair.

;Do you have any hobbies?
Playing SWTOR, crocheting, painting

;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
Alternative mostly.

;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
I love Castle, Psych, Criminal Minds, Star Wars (all of them), Harry Potter, Clue, Big Trouble in Little China, The Princess Bride, and most Disney movies.

;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
I love the Arcane Novels by Jayne Ann Krentz. I also like most things by Patricia Rice.

;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
I wanted to be an Actress. SUPERSTAAAAHHH

==Who Am I==
I'm a writer of many genres, especially fantasy and romance. My current work is a young adult novel about a teenage girl who belongs to a secret time traveling guild. I'm in revision stages with it.

I am obsessed with words in numerous forms and disciplines: languages, historical linguistics, etymology, history of the alphabets, fiction writing, essay writing, journaling, technical writing, graphic design of text, acting through expression of words...I could go on and on. I love studying the stories of words and letters.

I studied ancient languages and civilizations at the University of Iowa. I enjoy singing, acting, guitar and piano. I taught a theater workshop for elementary school kids.

I also started a Wheel of Time singing group with Eleyan al'Landerin called the Flaming Sisters. We dress up as a Brown and Green Aes Sedai and sing WoT-themed bawdy pub songs (during which we are incredibly dignified) and ballads. We write our own lyrics and most of our own music.

I've also written and directed Wheel of Time Interpretive Dance: The Eye of the World, which was performed at Dragon*Con twice and JordanCon once so far. I hope to find time to adapt more of the books.

==Senior Member Interview==

'''Why did you choose Brown?''' 
I've certainly matched my share of Brown stereotypes (absent-minded, selective focus, ignoring the world when it suits me), but I am Brown because I love knowledge and I love reading. I never stop learning and I never stop wishing to share my favorite parts of what I've learned with others. I get so excited by books and by information. 

'''How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?''' 
It was nice. I was about 97% certain I was joining Brown but I also loved being a Junior Member. I taught a class on WoT Prophecies as an Accepted and that was awesome. 

'''How did you get to read the Series?''' 
In 2003, I worked at a bookstore (where I ended up working four years). One of my friends and coworkers used to tease me about loving romance books so much. I made a deal with him: if I read That Series With Which He's So Obsessed, and I finished it in two weeks total, he had to read a romance of my choice.

That series was, of course, The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. When I started it, I didn't like the fantasy genre. When I finished, I was in love and now it's my favorite genre.

I read all nine books at the time in 12 days (I was a student and it was summer), so I won the bet. He never read the romance book and he has Toh to me for this.

'''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've attended 3 Dragon*Cons and two anniversary parties. They are awesome and everyone should do it. I also go to many, many local events, mostly in the Michigan area. We have three or four main parties every year, plus smaller ones.

Real Life Events are a great way to truly get to know people and put faces to the posts. Then you can bond even more online! 

'''Do you have a pet?''' 
Not at the time. I do love cats especially, though I'm also partial to dogs. If I were to get another pet, though, it would be a cat again. 

'''Coke or Pepsi?''' 
Neither. I am allergic to corn and both have corn syrup. Plus I don't really like soda anyway. I usually just drink water.

==''Senior Member Interview''==

'''What is your Tower name?''' 

Eniara Kisharad 

'''When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah?''' 

August 2003, and I had to go look that up. 

'''Why did you choose Brown?''' 

I picked Brown for what was, at least it seems now, a pretty silly reason, long before I joined TarValon.net. In any case, I was very entrenched as a Brown by the time I came here so I just went with what was familiar. It stuck and here I am. I tend to consider myself more Rainbow Ajah than anything, but Brown foremost among the other stripes. 

'''Are you like the Browns in the books?''' 

A lot of the time, yes. I've always been a voracious bookworm and am addicted to learning. While studying at Michigan State I also worked for the university library and I now work for the University of Auckland on a very Brown map digitization and distribution project. 

'''Do you love books and do you daydream a lot?''' 

Yes, and yes. I've always wanted to write my own insanely complicated book series but awesome as it may be in my head, I don't have the focus to actually write a book. 

'''Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?''' 
This is a no-brainer I think. Verin Mathwin totally wins the Brown Ajah Award of the Age for Awesomeness. 

'''How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?''' 

I'm enough of an oldbie that I joined before the city was created. I honestly don't remember much about being a novice or Accepted. At the time I had a lot of my energy directed into other online communities, leaving me mostly a lurker here. I do remember it took me a year (that felt like forever) to be raised to Aes Sedai, and that the Hall turned me down the first time I was put forward because too few people knew who I was. 

'''How long have you been a member of TV.net?''' 

September 2012 will be 10 years. Wow. It seems a lifetime ago I first met Eleyan and company at Dragon*con 2002. 

'''What things do you do for TV.net?''' 

Right now I'm serving as the Assistant Director of Research. Most of my time in that position so far has brainstorm assistance to the Director and some library editing. I've also served as Treasurer, the Events Committee head for several official parties, and spent two terms as Sitter for the Brown Ajah. I try to contribute to the fandom in obscure ways as well. One summer I convinced my mother to spend several months sewing 3' x 5' flags of the 15 Westlands nations, and to my great pleasure they still get lots of use at Dragon*Con and Jordan*Con each year. 

'''How long have you been a fan of The Wheel of Time and how did you get to read the Series?''' 

It's a pretty funny story, actually. Says a lot about my character in high school. In the spring of 1998 I was a lowly freshman who'd recently changed high schools. Unfortunately for me -- being the bookworm that I was -- the only English class with space available was a class of students who were not blessed with, shall we say, "langage abilities." Most of my classmates hated reading, writing, and anything associated with either of those. So there I was, about a month into a daily routine of beating my head on my desk, when we get assigned an end-of-year book report. We were encouraged to pick any book we wanted so long as it was more than 100 pages, and then a month later we'd present both a written report and an oral presentation. I walked into the school library and immediately went hunting the fattest fiction book I could find. I'll admit it was a bad attitude on my part, but I was determined to demonstrate my disdain at being stuck in the class by showing off. What caught my eye was a beat-up copy of The Eye of the World. I'd not delved into the fantasy genre at that point, but the plot synopsis looked interesting so I decided to give it a try. The teacher was skeptical about the book size but she gave her approval and I plowed through tEotW like candy and went right back for The Great Hunt. The look on my classmates' faces when I plunked down not just one, but two 800-page books on my desk and proceeded to do my report on both was priceless. And, by the time I gave that report, I was already devouring book 4. The rest has been history. I was caught hook, line, and sinker and quit counting the series re-reads I've done since after my 13th time through tEotW. 

'''Who is your favorite hero?''' 

Moiraine has been my favorite book character since I first picked up The Eye of the World, and she remains so to this day. It was agony waiting more than a decade for her to come back, jumping for every book to find her yet again absent! 

'''Favorite bad guy/gal?''' 

This is tougher. I think I'll have to pick Graendal. There's a little piece of me that would like to go totally hedonistic and get away with it. 

'''Favorite book and scene?''' 

Favorite book is a toss up between New Spring and The Fires of Heaven. My favorite scene is when Rand reads the letter Moiraine left him after sacrificing herself fighting Lanfear. I'm always a sucker for the greater good, giving up everything to protect someone scenarios. 

'''If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?''' 

I think after more than a decade spent immersed in online communities as an Aes Sedai, I really would have to be a part of the Tower if dropped into Randland. It's either that or joining the Aiel. 

'''How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?''' 

I was first exposed to TarValon.net when a small group of members attended Dragon*Con 2002. It took meeting one person to convince me to join...Melissa Craib. 

'''To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?''' 

I've had 6 great years so far bonded to the amazing Ciaran al'Trystan. He and I orginally met in chat and clicked over our mutual love of highland cows. It's just gotten weirder through the years since. 

'''Who is your mentee, if you have one?''' 

Alas, I've never had an official mentee at TarValon.net. 

'''Have you ever attended any Real Life Functions? Did you like them if you did, and why?''' 

I'm going to assume this is just official functions so I don't have to list all of the minor parties I've attended. I attended every Dragon*Con between 2002 and 2008. I was also at JordanCon 2009 and ComicCon 2005 (the year Robert Jordan was there promoting New Spring). Add to that list Fall Ball '04 (Albuquerque), 5th Anni (Corpus Christi), Fall Ball '06 (Toronto), and most recently 10th Anni (Charleston). I have yet to go to a party that I regretted attending. Some have been completely fantastic, some have had major drama, and at some I've had minor meltdowns. That being said, they're like big family reunions and I love going and will continue to attend any opportunity I can. Now that I'm in New Zealand I've got a chance to try and drum up more events for the South Pacific. 

'''What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?''' 

I'm an eclectic musicphile and like something of pretty much everything. The only two genres I dislike for the most part are gangsta rap and heavy metal. 

'''What do you do in "real life?"''' 

I do lots of things. For work I am a Geographics Technician with the University of Auckland's School of Environment. I'm also a full-time wife to Ayendra Sedai, I help with my ex-flatmate's crazy film projects, I read, I watch movies, I play video games (primarily LOTRO and Stronghold 2 these days), and I get out hiking when the weather is good. I also started learning to kiteboard this past summer. New Zealand is a fabulous place for outdoor pursuits! 

'''What is the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?''' 

I work really hard to not be crazy or stupid so I'm not sure how to answer this. Does dedicating the bulk of the last decade to living and breathing a fantasy book series and its associated communities count? Or maybe more crazy would be embracing my inner wanderlust and packing up and moving to foreign cultures. 

'''Do you have a pet?''' 

Not right now. We desperately want a cat but we put it off until we obtained NZ permanent residency. Now that we have that, our apartment is too small... 

'''What languages do you speak?''' 

Alas, only English. I'd give anything for an immersive set of courses in Scottish Gaelic, though. I've tried teaching myself piecemeal but I get so distracted I forget what I've learned and always have to start over. 

'''Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?''' 

Let's see...a small sampling would be A Song of Ice and Fire, Brandon Sanderson's assorted works, Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel series, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Marion Zimmer Bradley's Avalon series, Brent Weeks' Night Angel trilogy and latest book, Tamir Triad, and I still adore The Chronicles of Narnia. Recently my Warder turned me onto Malazan Book of the Fallen and I've just finished book 1. 

'''What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?''' 

When I was little I wanted to be pharaoh. *lol* All through high school I was determined to become a veterinarian, but in college I realized the vet school work load would overwhelm me. 

'''Seanchan or Shara?''' 

Considering both are pretty hard on channelers, how about neither? Instead I'll choose to spend time with my sidekick, Shara Sedai. 

'''Board games or computer games?''' 

I love playing both. Computer games win out most of the time, but nothing can beat a rainy day with cup of hot tea and a good board game. 

'''Coke or Pepsi?''' 

Let's go with neither. I don't drink soda except the occasional Diet Dr. Pepper or Diet Vernors. My vote lies with unsweet iced tea! 

'''A short bio about yourself.''' 

I'm 28, Michiganian by birth, Texan by adoption, and Kiwi by choice. I currently live in Auckland, New Zealand, and I'm very happily married to Ayendra Kisharad, also of the Brown Ajah. I hold a Bachelor's degree from Michigan State University in Fisheries and Wildlife and a Post-graduate Diploma of Science from the University of Auckland in Geography/GIS. I adore traveling and try to get out and go whenever I can, but all the work that's expected when you're an adult gets in the way of that much of the time. I've lived and studied on 3 continents, I once lost a cassette tape in my teeth, my favorite band is Evanescence, my favorite television show is Xena: Warrior Princess, and I have been told I'd be an awesome person to pair up with Lucy Lawless in a bar. I think that says enough.

==''Senior Member Interview''==
''December 6, 2011''

*;Why did you choose Brown?
I chose Brown because I wanted to be a Brown sister from the moment I read the books! Also, those of you who have interacted with me know that I am very Brown in RL.

*;Are you like the Browns in the books?
I do think I'm like the Browns in the books--frumpy, a bit scattered--and I have been told repeatedly by my classmates that they are amazed at how much such a small woman like me can regurgitate on any given subject!

*;Do you love books and do you daydream a lot?
I love books and learning, and my friends in RL are sometiems a bit intimidated by how intense I can get when there's studying to be done. In class discussions I oftn have a tendency to come up with a completely different approach to a question that sometimes stumps others. If I am trying to find a particular piece of information, I become almost obsessive about it. And of course I have a tendency to daydream--what college student doesn't?

*;Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?
Not really.

*;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
Since 2004.

*;How did you first get into the series?
I discovered EotW at a book sale in the library I worked in while in my senior year of high school.

*;Who is your favorite "hero"?
Probably Verin.

*;Favorite bad guy/gal?
Moghedien.

*;Favorite book and scene?
EotW--where Rand experiences culture shock visiting all those cities. I'm a country person myself, so I can definitely connect to that.

*;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
An Aes Sedai who spends an incredible amount of time with her nose in a research project.

*;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
I wanted to find out when A Memory of Light was going to be published. I loved the very real feeling of the site and the idea that other individuals here weren't just user names with fancy trumped up avatars that were their minds' eye image of themselves......These were real people who were genuinely happy to be here.

*;What do you do in "real life"?
I'm a museum worker (I've worked in five museums in my time), and a student trying to earn a graduate degree in history/anthropology.

*;Do you have any hobbies?
My living spaces are always littered with yarn and patterns. I have a tendency to raid the local yarn shops on pay day.

*;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
Country!

*;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
My favourite tv shows are Remington Steele, Once Upon a Time, Pan Am, Stargate SG-1, Star Trek, Farscape.....basically anything that's not too intense and has a good plot that makes you think. As for movies, I love the adventure yarns, but I also grew up watching all the old MGM musicals (especially Rogers and Hammerstein).

*;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
I recently discovered Debbie Macomber's Blossom Street series. Normally I will not touch romance with a ten-foot pole, but this series doesn't really hit you over the head with it. Besides, it's got a yarn shop in the middle of it.

*;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
I wanted to be a writer, and I suppose I still am. Except now it's mostly academia, and my fiction writing has, erm, kind of decreased in quality since going to university.

==Who Am I==
I'm a writer of many genres, especially fantasy and romance. My current work is a young adult novel about a teenage girl who belongs to a secret time traveling guild. I'm in revision stages with it.

I am obsessed with words in numerous forms and disciplines: languages, historical linguistics, etymology, history of the alphabets, fiction writing, essay writing, journaling, technical writing, graphic design of text, acting through expression of words...I could go on and on. I love studying the stories of words and letters.

I studied ancient languages and civilizations at the University of Iowa. I enjoy singing, acting, guitar and piano. I taught a theater workshop for elementary school kids.

I also started a Wheel of Time singing group with Eleyan al'Landerin called the Flaming Sisters. We dress up as a Brown and Green Aes Sedai and sing WoT-themed bawdy pub songs (during which we are incredibly dignified) and ballads. We write our own lyrics and most of our own music.

I've also written and directed Wheel of Time Interpretive Dance: The Eye of the World, which was performed at Dragon*Con twice and JordanCon once so far. I hope to find time to adapt more of the books.

==Senior Member Interview==

'''Why did you choose Brown?''' 
I've certainly matched my share of Brown stereotypes (absent-minded, selective focus, ignoring the world when it suits me), but I am Brown because I love knowledge and I love reading. I never stop learning and I never stop wishing to share my favorite parts of what I've learned with others. I get so excited by books and by information. 

'''How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?''' 
It was nice. I was about 97% certain I was joining Brown but I also loved being a Junior Member. I taught a class on WoT Prophecies as an Accepted and that was awesome. 

'''How did you get to read the Series?''' 
In 2003, I worked at a bookstore (where I ended up working four years). One of my friends and coworkers used to tease me about loving romance books so much. I made a deal with him: if I read That Series With Which He's So Obsessed, and I finished it in two weeks total, he had to read a romance of my choice.

That series was, of course, The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. When I started it, I didn't like the fantasy genre. When I finished, I was in love and now it's my favorite genre.

I read all nine books at the time in 12 days (I was a student and it was summer), so I won the bet. He never read the romance book and he has Toh to me for this.

'''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've attended 3 Dragon*Cons and two anniversary parties. They are awesome and everyone should do it. I also go to many, many local events, mostly in the Michigan area. We have three or four main parties every year, plus smaller ones.

Real Life Events are a great way to truly get to know people and put faces to the posts. Then you can bond even more online! 

'''Do you have a pet?''' 
Not at the time. I do love cats especially, though I'm also partial to dogs. If I were to get another pet, though, it would be a cat again. 

'''Coke or Pepsi?''' 
Neither. I am allergic to corn and both have corn syrup. Plus I don't really like soda anyway. I usually just drink water.

==''Senior Member Interview''==

'''What is your Tower name?''' 

Eniara Kisharad 

'''When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah?''' 

August 2003, and I had to go look that up. 

'''Why did you choose Brown?''' 

I picked Brown for what was, at least it seems now, a pretty silly reason, long before I joined TarValon.net. In any case, I was very entrenched as a Brown by the time I came here so I just went with what was familiar. It stuck and here I am. I tend to consider myself more Rainbow Ajah than anything, but Brown foremost among the other stripes. 

'''Are you like the Browns in the books?''' 

A lot of the time, yes. I've always been a voracious bookworm and am addicted to learning. While studying at Michigan State I also worked for the university library and I now work for the University of Auckland on a very Brown map digitization and distribution project. 

'''Do you love books and do you daydream a lot?''' 

Yes, and yes. I've always wanted to write my own insanely complicated book series but awesome as it may be in my head, I don't have the focus to actually write a book. 

'''Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?''' 
This is a no-brainer I think. Verin Mathwin totally wins the Brown Ajah Award of the Age for Awesomeness. 

'''How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?''' 

I'm enough of an oldbie that I joined before the city was created. I honestly don't remember much about being a novice or Accepted. At the time I had a lot of my energy directed into other online communities, leaving me mostly a lurker here. I do remember it took me a year (that felt like forever) to be raised to Aes Sedai, and that the Hall turned me down the first time I was put forward because too few people knew who I was. 

'''How long have you been a member of TV.net?''' 

September 2012 will be 10 years. Wow. It seems a lifetime ago I first met Eleyan and company at Dragon*con 2002. 

'''What things do you do for TV.net?''' 

Right now I'm serving as the Assistant Director of Research. Most of my time in that position so far has brainstorm assistance to the Director and some library editing. I've also served as Treasurer, the Events Committee head for several official parties, and spent two terms as Sitter for the Brown Ajah. I try to contribute to the fandom in obscure ways as well. One summer I convinced my mother to spend several months sewing 3' x 5' flags of the 15 Westlands nations, and to my great pleasure they still get lots of use at Dragon*Con and Jordan*Con each year. 

'''How long have you been a fan of The Wheel of Time and how did you get to read the Series?''' 

It's a pretty funny story, actually. Says a lot about my character in high school. In the spring of 1998 I was a lowly freshman who'd recently changed high schools. Unfortunately for me -- being the bookworm that I was -- the only English class with space available was a class of students who were not blessed with, shall we say, "langage abilities." Most of my classmates hated reading, writing, and anything associated with either of those. So there I was, about a month into a daily routine of beating my head on my desk, when we get assigned an end-of-year book report. We were encouraged to pick any book we wanted so long as it was more than 100 pages, and then a month later we'd present both a written report and an oral presentation. I walked into the school library and immediately went hunting the fattest fiction book I could find. I'll admit it was a bad attitude on my part, but I was determined to demonstrate my disdain at being stuck in the class by showing off. What caught my eye was a beat-up copy of The Eye of the World. I'd not delved into the fantasy genre at that point, but the plot synopsis looked interesting so I decided to give it a try. The teacher was skeptical about the book size but she gave her approval and I plowed through tEotW like candy and went right back for The Great Hunt. The look on my classmates' faces when I plunked down not just one, but two 800-page books on my desk and proceeded to do my report on both was priceless. And, by the time I gave that report, I was already devouring book 4. The rest has been history. I was caught hook, line, and sinker and quit counting the series re-reads I've done since after my 13th time through tEotW. 

'''Who is your favorite hero?''' 

Moiraine has been my favorite book character since I first picked up The Eye of the World, and she remains so to this day. It was agony waiting more than a decade for her to come back, jumping for every book to find her yet again absent! 

'''Favorite bad guy/gal?''' 

This is tougher. I think I'll have to pick Graendal. There's a little piece of me that would like to go totally hedonistic and get away with it. 

'''Favorite book and scene?''' 

Favorite book is a toss up between New Spring and The Fires of Heaven. My favorite scene is when Rand reads the letter Moiraine left him after sacrificing herself fighting Lanfear. I'm always a sucker for the greater good, giving up everything to protect someone scenarios. 

'''If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?''' 

I think after more than a decade spent immersed in online communities as an Aes Sedai, I really would have to be a part of the Tower if dropped into Randland. It's either that or joining the Aiel. 

'''How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?''' 

I was first exposed to TarValon.net when a small group of members attended Dragon*Con 2002. It took meeting one person to convince me to join...Melissa Craib. 

'''To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?''' 

I've had 6 great years so far bonded to the amazing Ciaran al'Trystan. He and I orginally met in chat and clicked over our mutual love of highland cows. It's just gotten weirder through the years since. 

'''Who is your mentee, if you have one?''' 

Alas, I've never had an official mentee at TarValon.net. 

'''Have you ever attended any Real Life Functions? Did you like them if you did, and why?''' 

I'm going to assume this is just official functions so I don't have to list all of the minor parties I've attended. I attended every Dragon*Con between 2002 and 2008. I was also at JordanCon 2009 and ComicCon 2005 (the year Robert Jordan was there promoting New Spring). Add to that list Fall Ball '04 (Albuquerque), 5th Anni (Corpus Christi), Fall Ball '06 (Toronto), and most recently 10th Anni (Charleston). I have yet to go to a party that I regretted attending. Some have been completely fantastic, some have had major drama, and at some I've had minor meltdowns. That being said, they're like big family reunions and I love going and will continue to attend any opportunity I can. Now that I'm in New Zealand I've got a chance to try and drum up more events for the South Pacific. 

'''What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?''' 

I'm an eclectic musicphile and like something of pretty much everything. The only two genres I dislike for the most part are gangsta rap and heavy metal. 

'''What do you do in "real life?"''' 

I do lots of things. For work I am a Geographics Technician with the University of Auckland's School of Environment. I'm also a full-time wife to Ayendra Sedai, I help with my ex-flatmate's crazy film projects, I read, I watch movies, I play video games (primarily LOTRO and Stronghold 2 these days), and I get out hiking when the weather is good. I also started learning to kiteboard this past summer. New Zealand is a fabulous place for outdoor pursuits! 

'''What is the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?''' 

I work really hard to not be crazy or stupid so I'm not sure how to answer this. Does dedicating the bulk of the last decade to living and breathing a fantasy book series and its associated communities count? Or maybe more crazy would be embracing my inner wanderlust and packing up and moving to foreign cultures. 

'''Do you have a pet?''' 

Not right now. We desperately want a cat but we put it off until we obtained NZ permanent residency. Now that we have that, our apartment is too small... 

'''What languages do you speak?''' 

Alas, only English. I'd give anything for an immersive set of courses in Scottish Gaelic, though. I've tried teaching myself piecemeal but I get so distracted I forget what I've learned and always have to start over. 

'''Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?''' 

Let's see...a small sampling would be A Song of Ice and Fire, Brandon Sanderson's assorted works, Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel series, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Marion Zimmer Bradley's Avalon series, Brent Weeks' Night Angel trilogy and latest book, Tamir Triad, and I still adore The Chronicles of Narnia. Recently my Warder turned me onto Malazan Book of the Fallen and I've just finished book 1. 

'''What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?''' 

When I was little I wanted to be pharaoh. *lol* All through high school I was determined to become a veterinarian, but in college I realized the vet school work load would overwhelm me. 

'''Seanchan or Shara?''' 

Considering both are pretty hard on channelers, how about neither? Instead I'll choose to spend time with my sidekick, Shara Sedai. 

'''Board games or computer games?''' 

I love playing both. Computer games win out most of the time, but nothing can beat a rainy day with cup of hot tea and a good board game. 

'''Coke or Pepsi?''' 

Let's go with neither. I don't drink soda except the occasional Diet Dr. Pepper or Diet Vernors. My vote lies with unsweet iced tea! 

'''A short bio about yourself.''' 

I'm 28, Michiganian by birth, Texan by adoption, and Kiwi by choice. I currently live in Auckland, New Zealand, and I'm very happily married to Ayendra Kisharad, also of the Brown Ajah. I hold a Bachelor's degree from Michigan State University in Fisheries and Wildlife and a Post-graduate Diploma of Science from the University of Auckland in Geography/GIS. I adore traveling and try to get out and go whenever I can, but all the work that's expected when you're an adult gets in the way of that much of the time. I've lived and studied on 3 continents, I once lost a cassette tape in my teeth, my favorite band is Evanescence, my favorite television show is Xena: Warrior Princess, and I have been told I'd be an awesome person to pair up with Lucy Lawless in a bar. I think that says enough.

''December 8, 2011''

*;Why did you choose Brown?
I didn't really choose Brown, it's just what I am! I love that I have found a place to fit in, where my sisters share many of my eccentricities and I don't have to pretend to be someone I'm not.

*;Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?
I'm very much like the book Browns, but with a modern twist or too. I do love books, but I have other loves too, and I think that learning happens outside of books as much as in them. I do tend to daydream a lot, usually because I get distracted thinking about something other than what I'm doing.

*;Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?
Verin... 'nuff said.

*;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
Since exams second semester freshman year or college. A friend loaned me EotW because I was stressed out and wanting to procrastinate.

*;How did you first get into the series?
A group of college friends were already fans and they introduced me to it.

*;Who is your favorite "hero"?
At first it was Rand, but I find that I like Mat more and more.

*;Favorite bad guy/gal?
don't really have a favorite...

*;Favorite book and scene?
Verin's big reveal

*;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
I'd probably be a Brown Aes Sedai, if it was possible, if not, then a researcher at the Cairhienin library.

*;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
I found it in a Google search and stayed because I felt at home.

*;What do you do in "real life"?
I recently received my PhD from the University of Michigan, and am now looking for college teaching jobs and trying to get caught up again in life!

*;Do you have any hobbies?
Many! I'm a violinist, like lots of different crafting things, and the outdoors.

*;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
Primarily classical, but also jazz and some movie soundtracks.

*;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
Movies: Lord of the Rings, the Harry Potter series, Bond movies, Mission Impossible and really spy flicks of any type. TV shows: Bones, CSI and CSI New York (NOT Miami), Criminal Minds, various other police procedurals, and nature shows, Mythbusters, history shows...

*;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
All of Tolkien, and I like Jim Butcher (both series), Patricia Briggs, Mercedes Lackey, Kathy Reichs (author and creator of Bones... Yes, there's a whole series of books too), anything by Ovid (yeah, he's ancient but still really, really good)

*;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
A musician, a theoretical astrophysicist (until I learned that theoretical still meant I had to do math...), college professor, fantasy author, and naturalist

'''Why did you choose Brown?'''

I am Brown. I know that's a cop-out answer but that's why! I just feel like I fit there.

'''Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?'''

I would say I'm like the Browns in the books in the sense that I do love books, and I daydream (and talk to myself) all the time! But I'm a lot more outgoing (although I still wouldn't call myself "outgoing") than the book Browns in the sense that I like to get out and have a good time on occasion. Really, I think the way I am most like book Browns is that I love knowledge... whether it's going to an actual class or just browsing Wikipedia for hours, I want to know everything, about everything. I have a thirst for it.

'''Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?'''

Verin. Oh yes.

'''How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?'''

I started reading WoT when I was in sixth grade. It was a long time ago, we'll just leave it at that!

'''How did you first get into the series?'''

My mom got me the "Young Adult" versions of Eye of the World, and from then on I was hooked.

'''Who is your favorite "hero"?'''

Moiraine for the first few and Rand for the first six-ish books, then Mat, now Rand again for the last couple. I'm indecisive, obviously.

'''Favorite bad guy/gal?'''

Graendal!

'''Favorite book and scene?'''

I like Lord of Chaos (which is how my fiancé proposed to me, but that's another story!). As for a favorite scene... the Battle of Dumai's Wells was pretty intense. I liked Falme, too, in the Great Hunt. It's so hard for me to pick just one!

'''If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?'''

If I wasn't a Brown Aes Sedai (which is my first choice, of course!), I would want to be a Cairhienian noble. Daes Dae'mar fascinates me!

'''How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?'''

I found TV.Net through a link on Dragonmount when I was 12. I waited to join until the day I turned 13- well, that was the plan, but I actually could only wait til a week before. I had a long journey to SM... it took me two years to be raised to Accepted (again, on my birthday- seems to be a theme!), and another two years to be raised to Aes Sedai. I had to take a few extended-LoAs, but every time I couldn't help but coming back because I loved the community and family I found within my Ajah and the site as a whole.

'''What do you do in "real life"?'''

I'm currently a full-time student for another five weeks, when I will be receiving my Bachelors in Accounting and Accounting Information Systems. I work part-time for the Department of Defense right now, and I'll be starting full-time there once I graduate. Eventually I might go on to get my Masters but... we'll approach that at a later date, I think, because I also have to plan a wedding! My fiancé (who I convinced to start reading WoT, of course!) and I are planning our wedding for May 4, 2013- International Star Wars Day. It's all very exciting ^_^

'''Do you have any hobbies?'''

I love video games (mostly RPGs and Assassin's Creed and old school platformers, but I'll try almost anything), shoes (lots of them!), bowling (I was state-ranked back in high school), tennis, and most of all traveling! The more and further away I can travel, the happier I am.

'''What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?'''

I love almost all music, but if I had to pick a favorite band right now it would be tied between The Fray and Adele. I am a pretty big fan of Beyoncé, Shakira, and Pitbull, and I love musicals and opera. So basically, like I said before, almost anything.

'''What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?'''

Star Wars (the original trilogy of course)! I don't watch too much tv but some of my current favorite shows are Star Trek: TNG, Say Yes to the Dress, and The IT Crowd.

'''Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?'''

I love the Kushiel's Legacy trilogy by Jacqueline Carey, A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin, The Riftwar Saga by Ramond E. Feist, almost anything by Bill Bryson, lots of historical fiction, and lots of other books. I like books.

'''What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?'''

I think it went from mermaid to pizza maker to doctor to architect to opera singer to actuary to accountant to program analyst, which is what I'm doing now. I like it, but if I get an offer as a mermaid... I don't think I could pass it up.

==Laithean Cor'dazar, Senior Member Interview (2009)==

;When were you raised to Aes Sedai of the Brown Ajah?
I was lucky enough to be raised at the Anni Party in 2006!

;Why did you choose Brown?
I chose Brown because I had many friends in the Brown Ajah, and I felt that I fit in there very well. They were welcoming and fun, and I knew that I could be honest and myself with these women without ever feeling awkward.

;Are you like the Browns in the Books?
LOL, sometimes, but not usually. I don't wear rumpled clothes, or study history a lot, but I do have a tendency to browout once in a while.

;Do you love books and do you daydream a lot?
I love to learn about lots of different things, and every time I move my books are the first thing unpacked! As far as daydreaming... Not really. I do talk to myself a lot though.

;How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
I had a great time as a Novice and Accepted. I was lucky enough to be given a mentor who lived only 20 min from me and so I lived a RL version of being a Novice and Accepted. It was fun.

;How long have you been a member of TV.net?
5 years

;What things do you do for TV.net?
Hmmm... I helped make several gowns and masks for members going to the 2006 Anni Party as my Accepted project, I have served as the Pulse of the Brown Ajah for two years now, and I am a member of the Brown Ajah trying to make others feel welcome and comfortable at TV.net.

;How did you get to read the Series?
I have always read fantasy novels, and I needed something new to read. I went to the book store and just browsed the shelves. I found EotW and read the back. I thought it sounded interesting. After that I was hooked and had to read the whole series.

;To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?
I am bonded to Rodi Leg'na Krad of VC

;Who is your mentee, if you have one?
I do not have a mentee :(

;Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
My favorite character is Cadsuane! I love her! I don't have a favorite nation... they all have their interesting quips.

;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 went to the 5th Anni party in Texas in 2006, and I went to the 7th Anni party in Colorado in 2008.
I recommended that everyone try to make it to a RL function. It is so wonderful to meet the members in RL.

;What kind of music do you like?
I will listen to just about anything.

;What are your favorite movies?
I love the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice. It is 5 hours long, but it is great!

;Do you have a pet?
I have 3 cats. Fuzz,Ceilidh, and Geilynn. 1 dog, Phoenix, and two fish, Lucy and Sally.

;What languages do you speak?
Just English. I took a little French in high school, but the only thing I remember is the alphabet, numbers to 10, how to say "I don't speak French", how to say "where is the bathroom?", and how to say "I love you".

;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
I wanted to be an actress. I still would love to be an actress, but it is very unlikely to happen.

;A short bio about yourself.
I am a mother of a beautiful baby girl, Lynnea. I enjoy reading, sewing, baking, painting, and playing with my daughter. My entire family consists of my Fiance, daughter, Fiance's son, and all our pets. We live in Minnesota, USA.

==Laithean Cor'dazar, Senior Member Interview (2012)==

;Ajah Questions:
;Why did you choose Brown?
I had friends in Brown

;Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?
I love to read, and I love to learn. Since my diagnosis with MS and the issues there in I have noticed myself becoming more and more absent minded and unaware of the present.

;Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?
I never used to, but once it was announced that Verin was a double agent I was like, "Yeah! Kick A**!"

;Book Questions:
;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
Dear lord, I don't remember when I first started reading it!

;How did you first get into the series?
I was a fantasy reader since I first began to read chapter books. I just went to the bookstore looking for something new and came across book 1.

;Who is your favorite "hero"?
Matrim! Why? Because he reminds me of my Husband! Gorgeous smile, charming, gets out of any trouble he creates. I have always pictured him as my hubby :P

;Favorite bad guy/gal?
Hmm... I don't think we really get to spend a lot of character time with the evil folks in the books, it makes it hard to pick a favorite, or even one that I would relate to. I guess out of the ideas of them, Messana is my favorite. Secret, quiet, manipulative...Creating an army to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!

;Favorite book and scene?
I don't think I can pick a favorite.

;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain? I would definitely be an Aes Sedai.

;General Questions:
;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
I found it by looking for the date when the next book was coming out. I stayed because I formed relationships and made friends.

;What do you do in "real life"?
I cut hair.

;Do you have any hobbies?
Playing SWTOR, crocheting, painting

;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
Alternative mostly.

;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
I love Castle, Psych, Criminal Minds, Star Wars (all of them), Harry Potter, Clue, Big Trouble in Little China, The Princess Bride, and most Disney movies.

;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
I love the Arcane Novels by Jayne Ann Krentz. I also like most things by Patricia Rice.

;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
I wanted to be an Actress. SUPERSTAAAAHHH

Hmmm... I helped make several gowns and masks for members going to the 2006 Anni Party as my Accepted project, I have served as the Pulse of the Brown Ajah for two years now, and I am a member of the Brown Ajah trying to make others feel welcome and comfortable at TV.net.

;How did you get to read the Series?
I have always read fantasy novels, and I needed something new to read. I went to the book store and just browsed the shelves. I found EotW and read the back. I thought it sounded interesting. After that I was hooked and had to read the whole series.

;To whom are you bonded, if you're bonded?
I am bonded to Rodi Leg'na Krad of VC

;Who is your mentee, if you have one?
I do not have a mentee :(

;Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
My favorite character is Cadsuane! I love her! I don't have a favorite nation... they all have their interesting quips.

;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 went to the 5th Anni party in Texas in 2006, and I went to the 7th Anni party in Colorado in 2008.
I recommended that everyone try to make it to a RL function. It is so wonderful to meet the members in RL.

;What kind of music do you like?
I will listen to just about anything.

;What are your favorite movies?
I love the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice. It is 5 hours long, but it is great!

;Do you have a pet?
I have 3 cats. Fuzz,Ceilidh, and Geilynn. 1 dog, Phoenix, and two fish, Lucy and Sally.

;What languages do you speak?
Just English. I took a little French in high school, but the only thing I remember is the alphabet, numbers to 10, how to say "I don't speak French", how to say "where is the bathroom?", and how to say "I love you".

;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
I wanted to be an actress. I still would love to be an actress, but it is very unlikely to happen.

;A short bio about yourself.
I am a mother of a beautiful baby girl, Lynnea. I enjoy reading, sewing, baking, painting, and playing with my daughter. My entire family consists of my Fiance, daughter, Fiance's son, and all our pets. We live in Minnesota, USA.

==Laithean Cor'dazar, Senior Member Interview (2012)==

;Ajah Questions:
;Why did you choose Brown?
I had friends in Brown

;Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?
I love to read, and I love to learn. Since my diagnosis with MS and the issues there in I have noticed myself becoming more and more absent minded and unaware of the present.

;Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?
I never used to, but once it was announced that Verin was a double agent I was like, "Yeah! Kick A**!"

;Book Questions:
;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
Dear lord, I don't remember when I first started reading it!

;How did you first get into the series?
I was a fantasy reader since I first began to read chapter books. I just went to the bookstore looking for something new and came across book 1.

;Who is your favorite "hero"?
Matrim! Why? Because he reminds me of my Husband! Gorgeous smile, charming, gets out of any trouble he creates. I have always pictured him as my hubby :P

;Favorite bad guy/gal?
Hmm... I don't think we really get to spend a lot of character time with the evil folks in the books, it makes it hard to pick a favorite, or even one that I would relate to. I guess out of the ideas of them, Messana is my favorite. Secret, quiet, manipulative...Creating an army to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!

;Favorite book and scene?
I don't think I can pick a favorite.

;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain? I would definitely be an Aes Sedai.

;General Questions:
;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
I found it by looking for the date when the next book was coming out. I stayed because I formed relationships and made friends.

;What do you do in "real life"?
I cut hair.

;Do you have any hobbies?
Playing SWTOR, crocheting, painting

;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
Alternative mostly.

;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
I love Castle, Psych, Criminal Minds, Star Wars (all of them), Harry Potter, Clue, Big Trouble in Little China, The Princess Bride, and most Disney movies.

;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
I love the Arcane Novels by Jayne Ann Krentz. I also like most things by Patricia Rice.

;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
I wanted to be an Actress. SUPERSTAAAAHHH

;Why did you choose Blue?
Blue is my home, it's like finding a pair of shoes you can walk for miles in and just fit :)

;Are you like the Blues in the Books?
I guess I might be a bit like book Blues but I'm not always that focused.

;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?)

;What kind of music do you like?
I like most things really apart from rap.

;What are your favorite movies?
Moulin Rouge, Strictly Ballroom, Pulp Fiction, LoTR to name a few

''January 29th 2008''

;Why did you choose Brown?
I guested with all the Ajahs, and Brown felt most like home.

;Are you like the Browns in the Books?
I have some of their traits, but as all the Ajahs are very stereotypical in the books, I wouldn't say I'm just like them.

;Do you love books and do you daydream a lot?
It depends on the book. I read a lot and love to research, but just topics that interest me. I'm definitely not a daydreamer, but I can become quite absorbed in my studies or the book I'm reading, and not notice what happens around me.

;How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
I enjoyed all the stages.

;How long have you been a member of TV.net?
A bit more than a year.

;What things do you do for TV.net?
I've been helping with the Brown Bulletin, and also helped with my HoA. Mostly Ajah stuff, but I've taken part in many classes too.

;How did you get to read the Series?
I was in Sweden studying, and I wanted to read something in my mother tongue, Finnish. The selection of Finnish books in the Gothenburg library wasn't too big, so I ended up borrowing the EotW. But I gave it up as a bad book, because the translations were crap. Later I started again in English, and got hooked straight away.

;Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
I like Mat and Tuon maybe most. The Seanchan as a nation are interesting, and so are the Aiel.

;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've been to Euro summer party last August. I loved it, because it's nice to get to know people from different countries. I think people should come to TV.net functions because this is a RL-based community, and meeting is part of knowing people.

;What kind of music do you like?
Classical. More spesificly tone colour and spectre-based music from the earlier part of 20th century.

;What are your favorite movies?
I don't go to movies much, but I've liked Kieslowski's pictures.

;What is the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?
Can't remember...

;What job do you have?
I'm a flute teacher in a music institute.

;Do you have a pet?
No.

;What languages do you speak?
Finnish, English, Swedish, some German and a little bit Russian.

;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
Street-cleaning machine driver. :p

;Seanchan or Shara?
Seanchan (because their society interests me more)

;Verin or Adeleas?
Verin.

;Board games or computer games?
Board games.

;Coke or Pepsi?
I really don't like either.

;A short bio about yourself.
I'm 29-year-old flute teacher and musicology student from Helsinki Finland. I live in the city centre with my hubby, and soon we're going to have a third member in the family (due time's Nov 24th). My hobbies (which I can't do right now because of the big belly) are Irish dancing and classical ballet. Reading is a lifestyle, not a hobby. :p

I like Mat and Tuon maybe most. The Seanchan as a nation are interesting, and so are the Aiel.

;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've been to Euro summer party last August. I loved it, because it's nice to get to know people from different countries. I think people should come to TV.net functions because this is a RL-based community, and meeting is part of knowing people.

;What kind of music do you like?
Classical. More spesificly tone colour and spectre-based music from the earlier part of 20th century.

;What are your favorite movies?
I don't go to movies much, but I've liked Kieslowski's pictures.

;What is the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?
Can't remember...

;What job do you have?
I'm a flute teacher in a music institute.

;Do you have a pet?
No.

;What languages do you speak?
Finnish, English, Swedish, some German and a little bit Russian.

;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
Street-cleaning machine driver. :p

;Seanchan or Shara?
Seanchan (because their society interests me more)

;Verin or Adeleas?
Verin.

;Board games or computer games?
Board games.

;Coke or Pepsi?
I really don't like either.

;A short bio about yourself.
I'm 29-year-old flute teacher and musicology student from Helsinki Finland. I live in the city centre with my hubby, and soon we're going to have a third member in the family (due time's Nov 24th). My hobbies (which I can't do right now because of the big belly) are Irish dancing and classical ballet. Reading is a lifestyle, not a hobby. :p

==''Senior Member Interview''==
''January 29th 2008''

;Why did you choose Brown?
I guested with all the Ajahs, and Brown felt most like home.

;Are you like the Browns in the Books?
I have some of their traits, but as all the Ajahs are very stereotypical in the books, I wouldn't say I'm just like them.

;Do you love books and do you daydream a lot?
It depends on the book. I read a lot and love to research, but just topics that interest me. I'm definitely not a daydreamer, but I can become quite absorbed in my studies or the book I'm reading, and not notice what happens around me.

;How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
I enjoyed all the stages.

;How long have you been a member of TV.net?
A bit more than a year.

;What things do you do for TV.net?
I've been helping with the Brown Bulletin, and also helped with my HoA. Mostly Ajah stuff, but I've taken part in many classes too.

;How did you get to read the Series?
I was in Sweden studying, and I wanted to read something in my mother tongue, Finnish. The selection of Finnish books in the Gothenburg library wasn't too big, so I ended up borrowing the EotW. But I gave it up as a bad book, because the translations were crap. Later I started again in English, and got hooked straight away.

;Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
I like Mat and Tuon maybe most. The Seanchan as a nation are interesting, and so are the Aiel.

;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've been to Euro summer party last August. I loved it, because it's nice to get to know people from different countries. I think people should come to TV.net functions because this is a RL-based community, and meeting is part of knowing people.

;What kind of music do you like?

''January 29, 2008''

;Why did you choose Brown?
Brown was where I fit it. I loved the women, I enjoyed their company in the Hallways and in the City. It was just where I belonged.

;Are you like the Browns in the Books?
I can be a bit detached from the world, but I'm not quite as bad as the book Browns.

;Do you love books and do you daydream a lot?
I do love books, and I day dream more than I should. Particularly during a rather boring class lecture.

;How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
I enjoyed all the time I spent at this site. Granted, it was smaller when I joined. If I joined today, I would probably feel a bit overwhelmed.

;How long have you been a member of TV.net?
Three years this past July.

;What things do you do for TV.net?
I serve as the Heart of the Brown Ajah. I have also served a term as a Sitter.

;How did you get to read the Series?
My dad bought me a 25cent copy of Eye of the World from a yard sale as a surprise, because it "looked like the kind of book" I would read. The rest is a very complicated history. :P

;Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
I suppose my favorite character is between Mat and Tuon. It used to be Perrin, before he got all whiney. :P My favorite city is 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've been to several real life functions, both official and unofficial. I greatly enjoy them. It is fun to make internet people "real" people, and real friends. People should come if they like to have fun and meet others.

;What kind of music do you like?
I like a little bit of everything. Rock and roll, r&b, anything by Regina Spektor. :D

;What are your favorite movies?
The Princess Bride, Constantine, original Star Wars trilogy, The Little Princess, The Neverending Story, The Boondock Saints, Transformers.

;What is the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?
Joined a website, went to a party to meet a bunch of strangers from the internet, got hooked. :P

;What job do you have?
I'm a student, and I work for my dad.

;Do you have a pet?
I have 2 dogs, a bird, a rabbit, a bearded dragon, a fire-bellied toad, and a hermit crab.

;What languages do you speak?
English. And verbs in Spanish, Italian, and Arabic. :P

;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
Astronaut, archaeologist, paleontologist, and a marine biologist.

;Seanchan or Shara?
Shara.

;Verin or Adeleas?
Verin!

;Board games or computer games?
Board games. :D

;Coke or Pepsi?
Pepsi and Cherry Coke.

;A short bio about yourself.
Umm...brown hair, brown/green eyes, 5'1. Student, no idea what I want to be when I grow up anymore. :P

''December 22, 2011''

*;Why did you choose Brown?
There was no other choice for me. The Browns on this site are a wonderful group of women (and Warders). We're diverse and laid back.

*;Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?
Yes. I'm working on a doctorate in History and I work part-time at a bookstore. My life is books. Hopefully, I'm not as frumpy as some of the Browns portrayed in the books though.

*;Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?
Saerin

*;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
I first read Eye of the World when I was thirteen, so nearly fourteen years now.

*;How did you first get into the series?
My dad picked the first book up for me, though he has yet to read them.

*;Who is your favorite "hero"?
I'm partial to Mat.

*;Favorite bad guy/gal?
I have to actually remember characters? I don't know. All of the Forsaken seem pretty petty. I like a little more complexity with my villains.

*;Favorite book and scene?
The first is probably the best, but then again, I haven't read it since I was thirteen... I did really enjoy the scene in (was it Crossroads of Twilight?) in which Tuon completes the marriage ceremony with Mat.

*;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
Seanchan innkeeper. I would be very good at honoring the Empress, may she live forever.

*;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
I happened upon it after one of the books was published in 2004 and later returned to the site in 2006. Our community is diverse and a wonderful place to meet amazing people from different parts of the globe.

*;What do you do in "real life"?
I'm a poor graduate student and teaching assistant. In short, I do a lot of reading, complaining, grading, and BS-ing.

*;Do you have any hobbies?
I enjoy reading and writing for pleasure (not essays or dissertations), running, comic books.

*;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
Eclectic. Anything from Bach to Elvis to LCD Soundsystem.

*;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
I love Miyasaki's work: Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, etc., Goodbye Lenin!, the usual nerd fare, like Star Wars, LotR. A few television shows I enjoy are Arrested Development, Mad Men, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Batman: The Animated Series, The Wire.

*;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, South of the Border, West of the Sun by Haruki Murakami I don't know - I read a lot of history. It's very difficult to list just a few books...

*;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
Veterinarian. I love animals.

==''Senior Member Interview''==
''January 29th 2008''

;Why did you choose Brown?
I guested with all the Ajahs, and Brown felt most like home.

;Are you like the Browns in the Books?
I have some of their traits, but as all the Ajahs are very stereotypical in the books, I wouldn't say I'm just like them.

;Do you love books and do you daydream a lot?
It depends on the book. I read a lot and love to research, but just topics that interest me. I'm definitely not a daydreamer, but I can become quite absorbed in my studies or the book I'm reading, and not notice what happens around me.

;How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?
I enjoyed all the stages.

;How long have you been a member of TV.net?
A bit more than a year.

;What things do you do for TV.net?
I've been helping with the Brown Bulletin, and also helped with my HoA. Mostly Ajah stuff, but I've taken part in many classes too.

;How did you get to read the Series?
I was in Sweden studying, and I wanted to read something in my mother tongue, Finnish. The selection of Finnish books in the Gothenburg library wasn't too big, so I ended up borrowing the EotW. But I gave it up as a bad book, because the translations were crap. Later I started again in English, and got hooked straight away.

;Who is your favorite character of the Series? Favorite Nation?
I like Mat and Tuon maybe most. The Seanchan as a nation are interesting, and so are the Aiel.

;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've been to Euro summer party last August. I loved it, because it's nice to get to know people from different countries. I think people should come to TV.net functions because this is a RL-based community, and meeting is part of knowing people.

;What kind of music do you like?
Classical. More spesificly tone colour and spectre-based music from the earlier part of 20th century.

;What are your favorite movies?
I don't go to movies much, but I've liked Kieslowski's pictures.

;What is the craziest/stupidest thing you've ever done?
Can't remember...

;What job do you have?
I'm a flute teacher in a music institute.

;Do you have a pet?
No.

;What languages do you speak?
Finnish, English, Swedish, some German and a little bit Russian.

;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
Street-cleaning machine driver. :p

;Seanchan or Shara?
Seanchan (because their society interests me more)

;Verin or Adeleas?
Verin.

;Board games or computer games?
Board games.

;Coke or Pepsi?
I really don't like either.

;A short bio about yourself.
I'm 29-year-old flute teacher and musicology student from Helsinki Finland. I live in the city centre with my hubby, and soon we're going to have a third member in the family (due time's Nov 24th). My hobbies (which I can't do right now because of the big belly) are Irish dancing and classical ballet. Reading is a lifestyle, not a hobby. :p

''December 22, 2011''

*;Why did you choose Brown?
There was no other choice for me. The Browns on this site are a wonderful group of women (and Warders). We're diverse and laid back.

*;Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?
Yes. I'm working on a doctorate in History and I work part-time at a bookstore. My life is books. Hopefully, I'm not as frumpy as some of the Browns portrayed in the books though.

*;Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?
Saerin

*;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
I first read Eye of the World when I was thirteen, so nearly fourteen years now.

*;How did you first get into the series?
My dad picked the first book up for me, though he has yet to read them.

*;Who is your favorite "hero"?
I'm partial to Mat.

*;Favorite bad guy/gal?
I have to actually remember characters? I don't know. All of the Forsaken seem pretty petty. I like a little more complexity with my villains.

*;Favorite book and scene?
The first is probably the best, but then again, I haven't read it since I was thirteen... I did really enjoy the scene in (was it Crossroads of Twilight?) in which Tuon completes the marriage ceremony with Mat.

*;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
Seanchan innkeeper. I would be very good at honoring the Empress, may she live forever.

*;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
I happened upon it after one of the books was published in 2004 and later returned to the site in 2006. Our community is diverse and a wonderful place to meet amazing people from different parts of the globe.

*;What do you do in "real life"?
I'm a poor graduate student and teaching assistant. In short, I do a lot of reading, complaining, grading, and BS-ing.

*;Do you have any hobbies?
I enjoy reading and writing for pleasure (not essays or dissertations), running, comic books.

*;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
Eclectic. Anything from Bach to Elvis to LCD Soundsystem.

*;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
I love Miyasaki's work: Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, etc., Goodbye Lenin!, the usual nerd fare, like Star Wars, LotR. A few television shows I enjoy are Arrested Development, Mad Men, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Batman: The Animated Series, The Wire.

*;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, South of the Border, West of the Sun by Haruki Murakami I don't know - I read a lot of history. It's very difficult to list just a few books...

*;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
Veterinarian. I love animals.

''December 8, 2011''

*;Why did you choose Brown?
I didn't really choose Brown, it's just what I am! I love that I have found a place to fit in, where my sisters share many of my eccentricities and I don't have to pretend to be someone I'm not.

*;Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?
I'm very much like the book Browns, but with a modern twist or too. I do love books, but I have other loves too, and I think that learning happens outside of books as much as in them. I do tend to daydream a lot, usually because I get distracted thinking about something other than what I'm doing.

*;Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?
Verin... 'nuff said.

*;How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
Since exams second semester freshman year or college. A friend loaned me EotW because I was stressed out and wanting to procrastinate.

*;How did you first get into the series?
A group of college friends were already fans and they introduced me to it.

*;Who is your favorite "hero"?
At first it was Rand, but I find that I like Mat more and more.

*;Favorite bad guy/gal?
don't really have a favorite...

*;Favorite book and scene?
Verin's big reveal

*;If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
I'd probably be a Brown Aes Sedai, if it was possible, if not, then a researcher at the Cairhienin library.

*;How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
I found it in a Google search and stayed because I felt at home.

*;What do you do in "real life"?
I'm a PhD candidate at the University of Michigan in the field of Classical Philology, the study of ancient Greek and Latin language and literature.

*;Do you have any hobbies?
Many! I'm a violinist, like lots of different crafting things, and the outdoors.

*;What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
Primarily classical, but also jazz and some movie soundtracks.

*;What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
Movies: Lord of the Rings, the Harry Potter series, Bond movies, Mission Impossible and really spy flicks of any type. TV shows: Bones, CSI and CSI New York (NOT Miami), Criminal Minds, various other police procedurals, and nature shows, Mythbusters, history shows...

*;Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
All of Tolkien, and I like Jim Butcher (both series), Patricia Briggs, Mercedes Lackey, Kathy Reichs (author and creator of Bones... Yes, there's a whole series of books too), anything by Ovid (yeah, he's ancient but still really, really good)

*;What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
A musician, a theoretical astrophysicist (until I learned that theoretical still meant I had to do math...), college professor, fantasy author, and naturalist
