Senior Member Interview
November 9, 2014
Why did you choose Brown?
This question has a really long answer. Ultimately because it's my home. Having been the Director of Membership for 4 years and seeing all the other groups I'm positive of this. We're pretty straightforward without being in your face bitchy. We don't suffer fools gladly. We're supportive without being touchy-feely. I just really enjoy us as a group. I think we're awesome.
Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?
I don't know that I'm really like the Browns in the books. I do love books and I love to read. I'm not much of a daydreamer.
Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?
Verin and Saerin. I won't go into details because spoilers.
How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
Um, sometime in my mid teens?
How did you first get into the series?
My Mother turned me on to the series. She tried to get me to read Eye of the World several times before I finally gave in.
Who is your favorite "hero"?
Mat all the way. My kind of guy.
Favorite bad guy/gal?
Hmm this is tough. Graendal is a top pick here.
Favorite book and scene?
I'm really fond of Fires of Heaven in the early part of the series. For the last part I don't think I can pick a favorite. There's so much good stuff going on there. As for scene, I LOVE Nynaeve's scene where she sets Lan at the end of the Borderlands for his journey to Tarwin's Gap.
If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
I have no idea. Probably a tavern wench but I'd love to be an Aes Sedai.
How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become a Senior Member?
I found the site when I was looking for a release date for one of the books. I have no idea which one. I lurked around for a while before finally making an account. I stayed because the forums here were so different from any I'd found elsewhere. Actually friendly and people responded.
What do you do in "real life"?
I work in e-commerce for a restaurant supply company.
Do you have any hobbies?
I crochet, read a lot and waste time on the internet.
What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
Most of it.
What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
Supernatural, Doctor Who, American Horror Story. Couples Retreat cracks me up every time I watch it, Fight Club. Lots of others that I just can't pull out of my brain right now.
Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
I like a lot of urban fantasy and trashy erotica.
What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
I wanted to be a social worker.
