fan! When I first saw this landmark series I was immediately captured by the drama and controversy of this series. As a fan I have written, drawn, filked, music videoed, and costumed Evangelion. Many words have been written about Evangelion- and some of those words can be found in the Neon Genesis Evangelion FAQ, created by Stephen Lee, and now edited by yours truly. The FAQ doesn't answer many of the mysteries promulgated by the series, rather it looks at the production of the series, how it has spread around the world, the many references and inspirations within the creation of the series, and, in the companion Merchandising FAQ, looks at the marketing of and the merchandise from the series. Currently the FAQ's are only available from the mailing list or in , and in selected web sites (no URL's are available.)

      I also should add that I am also involved in the , a mailing list devoted to the world of cosplay. I've made so many friends through the mailing list and through cosplay, it has brought something special to my life. There's nothing more important than friends, and some of these people are the best of friends: , , , , , , , , , and many more.

      I guess the last word should go to those gals and guys who literally saved my fandom life in 1995. I went to attend Project A-kon, but I was feeling so tired of travelling I was ready to give up going to cons. Then I found this room which had a sign that said ": Australian for Anime!" And thus they grabbed me, never let go, and I haven't looked back since. They're a great bunch of people that I would be proud to call friends, except they're mad, bad and dangerous to know! So I fit in really well!

      I guess if you've made it this far, you really do want to know about me- so thank you. Thank you for reading.
