Name of Fangirl: Kea
Fangirl’s Occupation: Author
What is your Fangirl interest?
Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, Being Human, Supernatural, Lord of the Rings
Why did you choose to nominate yourself?
Because it’s not easy being a scifi/fantasy fangirl in the burbs surrounded by other moms who don’t know what you’re talking about! It’s also tough holding back the thrilling time you had on vacation at SW Celebration compared to the woman who lounged at Club Med. When you’re the girl who sometimes has to lock the homeoffice door when entertaining so you don’t have to explain the FX lightsabers, etc, sometimes you just want to feel part of a crowd! And being part of a spotlighted fangirl crowd would be great!
How do you express your fandom?
I share it with my husband and two kids and a few choice fangirl pals. Together, we hit the last two SW Celebrations and NY Comic Con. I wrote and published a YA science fiction/fantasy series inspired over my years of fandom. And I serve as promotions manager for my husband’s more guy-centered entertainment podcast, GeekFest Rants.
What is your favorite quote or personal motto?
It’s from e.e. cummings: “There’s a hell of a good universe next door; let’s go.”
What is your favorite fangirl item that you cannot live without?
My Yoda FX lightsaber and the Dirk Benedict autograph picture on which he wrote, “I miss you.” Not sure why he wrote that, but people can think whatever they like!
