OMFG! RL people noticed me!

I'm registered at a site which is a community for German students, with profile pages and everything. You can also join discussion groups. I'm not very active on this site, but I'm in several fanfiction discussion groups, and I have a link to my LJ on my profile.

Now, another student contacted me via the PM function of this site (paraphrasion from the German original by me):


I'm a journalist at the Bayrischen Rundfunk [Bavarian radio station] and I'm currently researching fanfiction. I'm looking for people in the area who'd be willing to give an interview about this subject.

I'd be interested in: what exactly is fanfiction? why do people write fanfiction? who are the people who write fanfiction? are you a fanfic writer yourself? etc.

(And some blah blah and contact data.)


Squee! I can tell a RL person about fanfiction. And he'll listen, not look at me with wide eyes and change the subject! I hope ;). OMG, I'm so excited. A little scared, too, because I'm not sure whether I want to tell a complete stranger "yes, I do write gay pr0n on the internetz" and have him broadcasting that all over the state *gg*. But this is too good a chance to pass it up.

Thanks!

He hasn't answered my email yet, though. *bites nails*

I really wanna do that interview! Tell the world HOW TO DO IT RIGHT about fandom *gg*.

Yeah... or to do it right, of course *grins happily*. Hope you'll receive an answer!! Keep us informed... please?

I'm meeting him this evening for the interview. All he found so far were The Pit and a Tokio Hotel Band fanfiction site *flinches*. I will have to rectify his first impression, I think *cracks knuckles* ;).

Aw! Well, if anyone can rectify that first impression, it'll be you. Good luck!
