Why did you choose Brown?

Our mutual love of Chuck Tingle.

Are you like the Browns in the books? Do you love books and have a tendency to daydream?

Yes.

Do you have a favorite Brown Ajah character from the novels?

This is a stupid question.

How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?

Since early 2000.

How did you first get into the series?

I saw an advertisement for an online textbased WoT RPG at a gaming store while meeting up with some geeks from another book fandom. Shortly after that my older brother started borrowing the first few books from a friend, and they got to pass by me as well before being returned.

Who is your favorite "hero"?

Egwene and Verin.

Swedish, English, Japanese is a work in progress. A smattering of Spanish. Rövarspråket.

Donaldson's Gap Cycle, Ann Leckie's Ancillary trilogy, Megan Whalen Turner's Queen's Thief series, Charles de Lint's Newford. That's a few, okay.
