This week's interviewee is a Euro-FoLC turned American; she's from Germany originally, but moved to the US and now lives on the East coast. She's known on IRC and the message boards as an inveterate nagger of fanfic writers, and her trademark cry is this:

Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag Nag

She is...

Whereabouts in the world are you?
USA East Coast via Germany

How long have you been a FoLC?
Since at least 1994

What drew you to Lois and Clark?
The relationship and blossoming romance.

When did you first discover fanfic?
When I finally had access to a computer and Internet. 1999.

What's the very first fanfic you read? Do you remember what your first thoughts were about the concept of fanfiction?
I started out with a few small vignettes but once I started reading For the Greater Good by Wendy Richards on the MBs, I felt compelled to become part of the fanfic community by starting to post comments. I love the fact that LnC readers are listened to most of the time. ;) Fanfic- What a way to keep Lois and Clark alive!

What are your favourite sites for reading fanfic?
I like reading fics in installments on Zoom's message boards or in their entire length on the archive site.

List some stories you'd recommend to other readers.
For the Greater Good by Wendy. Camping with Clark and Now Hold on A Minute Here by Kathy Brown. The People vs Clark Kent by ML Thompson. New Wild Heaven by Kaethel (Where is part 2???). Caped Fear by LabRat. Heaven's Prisoners by Demi. Duet by
ShayneT, Zoom's stories...

A new story goes up on the Archive or MBs. You drop everything - and we mean *everything* - to read it. So who would it be by? <g>
Zoomway. She doesn't post that often anymore, so every time is a treat.

What type of stories do you most enjoy reading, and why?
I definitely enjoy stories with a little bit of drama and lots of WAFFs the most. For me, that's what Lois and Clark is all about. ;)

What's your opinion of:
Drama? Love it but I like to be sure there will be a happy ending. I prefer to read non-abusive stories.
Action? Not that important to me. Tends to keep our heroes too much apart. <g>
Romance? Definitely my preference.
Tearjerkers? Every once in a while that's what I look for. Depends on the mood I am in. But they have to be well written.
WAFFy vignettes? Take them any day!
Elseworlds? Fascinating.
Alternate Universe/Beginnings? See Elseworlds

Can you choose one, possibly two, stories you'd consider personal favourites, and tell us what you like about them?
Really too many to, count I am proud to say.

Has everything been done in L&C fanfic? Are there any unexplored scenarios?
Or doesn't it matter? <g>
No, I am sure there is a lot left to explore. Every time I watch an episode, I come up with another What If question. And there are so many stories out there whose angles I would have never thought of. I think if authors keep writing, we will be supplied with material for a long time. :)

If you could be your favourite author's personal Muse, what would your dream story premise be?
Right now I think I would want to be the When More Becomes Everything muse... I don't want to wait another few years to read that!

In your opinion, what makes for the best story? What ingredients, in your opinion, are essential to your favourite type of fanfic?
I like stories that are B-plot oriented, some drama and of course lots of WAFFs. I prefer Lois and Clark working together rather than being apart throughout the stories. I don't like dragged out misunderstandings.

Any other comments you'd like to make?
Thank you all for providing me with so much joy for such a long time. Please never stop writing!
