Adux
- Why did you choose your pen name?
Well, I'm obsessed with the mysterious creatures of the deep sea. Adux is derived from the scientific name for the giant squid: Architeutis dux.
- When did you start writing fanfiction?
I've been reading it for years, but I started writing about a month ago (March 2003).
- Would you agree that fanfiction is a genre dominated by women, and if so, why do you think it's so?
I would agree that women dominate this genry. It's hard to answer why without getting too much into gender classification. Young girls are encouraged to use their imagination more than boys; we play dress up and have imaginary tea parties while the boys are outside playing soccer. This reflects on our interests when we grow up.
- Are you a woman?
Absolutely!
- Do you also write original works (original as opposed to fanfiction)?
I've only quite recently gotten into writing fanfiction, but I've been doing original work since I was 16.
- Has any of your brainbabies been published in "real" printed media?
Yes! My second original work, a short called "24" (the tv-show ripped my title off!!!!) won a writing contest issued by the City of Amsterdam in 1999. They published it in a little booklet together with the three best *cough* losing stories. OK, "runners up" ;-)
- This is a site devoted to antagonists. Could you reveal us your favourite Mr. Bad Guy?
Oh, that's a tough one. It's a close draw between "Shaka Zulu" from the 1985 Willam C. Faure miniseries and "Ying Zheng" from The Emperor and the Assasin.
