WHAT IS CATS?
In this case, CATS
is a musical composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, based on a collection of
poems by T.S. Elliot.
HOW DID YOU DISCOVER CATS?
About one and a half year ago, I was looking
for something to read at our local library. The science-fiction and fantasy
shelves aren't very well-stocked, and I've already read the books we have.
I wasn't in the mood for thrillers or historical fiction either so I was
just about to leave. Then I walked past the video shelves and one of the
new videos grabbed my attention. Mainly black with two big, yellow cat-eyes
and CATS written across the facing. Under this, a group of
people, dressed in weird body-suits and strange wigs.
As a definite cat-person, and all-round weird
and strange guy myself, I just had to pick it up. I don't know why I decided
to borrow CATS. Probably just because I rarely leave the
library without something to read or watch. In this case, that habit really
paid off!
SO YOU WATCHED IT A COUPLE OF TIMES?
Oh yes. Twice that first day, then two
or three times every day for nearly a month!
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE A BIT WEIRD . . . I GUESS
YOU REALLY LIKED IT?
Yes, I did.
WHEN DID YOU START WRITING FAN-FICs THEN?
I'm not quite sure... I think it was in
July -99, but I'm not sure. At least three months after seeing CATS
for the first time.
WHAT MADE YOU START?
I was working (actually, I was supposed
to be working, but my boss was out...), and I was bored. So I decided to
see what I could find on the web about CATS.
One thing lead to another, and I finally ended up on Exploring
the unknown. As Chance and Luck would have it, the first (and
only) fan-fic I read was Confusion and Conclusions by Gintora
and Paxsar.
This fan-fic is really something! The characterization
and dialog was just the way I'd envisioned the Jellicles. Later, the same
day, I started on my very first fan-fic. I called it The
Visitor and got the first chapter posted on Exploring
the unknown.
WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF IT?
Well, right now I'm not writing much,
but I've written chapter two of The Visitor, and a few more
stories. A short story about Mako, one of my own characters, and how he
joined the Jellicles. It's called The Unknown
Battles and can be found on this site. I also started another
storyline set after The Unknown Battles, but before The
Visitor, which I have called The New
Kitten.
My fan-fics (in chronological order):
The Unknown Battles
The New Kitten
Ch. I
Ch. II (Not
up yet)
The Visitor
Ch. I
Ch. II
Ch. III (Not
up yet)
