Hi Ponies!
This year we have some new as well as old faces in the committee, to help you all get to know the 2012 committee we have asked them to introduce themselves and answer a few questions!
There will be a different committee member being interviewed each week over the next few weeks so keep your eyes on this forum to get to meet the committee mane six!
committee role ~ marketing and art-make-go monkey
forum name ~ Reaperfox
real name ~ Selena
age ~ 20% older
ponycon
how many times have you been to ponycon ~ Five (Birmingham, Uxbridge, Sheffield, West Brom, Brighton)
have you ever been to any other pony events outside of ponycon ie mini meet or over seas pony convention ~ I've been to tons of mini meets around the country
why did you want to join the committee ~ Because PonyCon has become one of the most important things in my calendar, and because frankly nobody else was stepping up to the mark! We get very few people signing up each year for the committee, and I think that's a real shame. Having enjoyed myself so much at PonyCon the past few years, it seemed only necessary that I should try and give back a little to the event and to try and help people have as much fun as I have in the past. Plus, I'm a huge, huge fan of the new G4 line and wanted to try and bring PonyCon into the new era of pony collecting.
what is your favourite ponycon activity ~ I absolutely adore the game shows and the charity auction, and anything else that gets people participating and having fun! Last year I ran the video room and LOVED playing the Rainbow Dash Attack tourney with everyone, because again, folks were getting involved and throwing themselves into it. It was ace. Oh, and how could I forget Pinch the Parcel? BEST part of member's day!
ponies
who was your first pony/how old were you ~ I am told my first pony was Sunlight, but I was too young to remember! Apparently I hated her though, and dumped her in my cupboard for the longest time. Later I found her, and decided she needed a friend, and thus my herd was born.
who is your favourite pony ~ My favourite G1 is Gypsy, simply because I have fond memories of her as a child. I also adore Shady and Hula Hula (and pretty much any tropical pony.) My favourite G2 is Clever Clover, my favourite G3 is a tossup of Guava Lava or Kiwi Tart or any of the tropical girls. My fave G4 is Rarity, hooves down. Because Rarity is best pony.
which generation do you collect ~ All of them, no questions asked. Every pony equal, every pony loved.
how many ponies do you own ~ Thousands. I have probably over a thousand G1s, I have almost all the G2s, a most the G3s and pretty much all the G4s apart from the weirdy ones I've not yet found. :>
who is your grail right now ~ I still need Nightlight! I think she's gorgeous, but I just haven't managed to scoop her up yet!
outside of ponies
do you have any other hobbies ~ I'm a full time nerd, so I spend most of my spare time playing video games, reading comics and drawing cartoons. I'm an illustrator and I've created comics and hundreds of pieces of art over the years, selling them at conventions - I have a table at MCM Expo, Cardiff Comic Con, KitaCon and Bristol Comic Con this year. I've played video games at a competitive level (TF2 Medic ftw) and mainly spend my evenings on TF2 or League of Legends, with a dabbling of Minecraft, Terraria and, lately, Skyrim. I also play the accordion (badly) and watch entirely too much film & television.
do you have a family? ~ Yep, I live with my parents in Dorset, and have a wonderful boyfriend who currently lives down in Plymouth studying Civil Engineering.
do you have pets? ~ we currently live with a giant fat ginger furball called Tigger, he was my nan's cat and we took him in when she passed away a couple of years ago. I used to have two gorgeous rats called Roxy and Pizzazz (bonus points if you know where their names came from!) and they were genuinely the best pets I ever, ever had. I'll be getting ratbabies again as soon as I can, despite their painfully short lifespan.
what is you occupation or how do you earn your pony tokens ~ I'm an artist and when I have money in PayPal it tends to vanish pretty fast, but I also help out a couple of days a week at my dad's cafe. I quite enjoy the break away from the PC, to be honest, haha.
random
sweet or savory ~ Savory! Weird, right? I just don't eat many sweets or cake and such nowawdays, but I love cheese and meat and things!
what was the last book you read ~ hahaha honestly? Some Sweet Valley High 'novel'. I didn't read them as a kid, because I was heavy into animal fiction (like Colin Dann's Farthing Wood series) and fantasy stuff to care about high school drama, and now I'm a grown up, SVH is my guilty pleasure! The last 'real' book I read was probably George Orwell's Animal Farm, which surprisingly I hadn't read before!
who would play you in a film of your life ~ Zooey Deschanel! She's lovely, zany and so pretty, I wish I looked like her. She plays quirky roles in quirky films and and I just think she has such a great attitude to life, not growing up and having fun. Not to mention she's gorgeous without lowering herself and losing all self respect like so many actresses these days. Blah.
if you were a super hero what would your super power be ~ Can I be really boring and say I'd just have the power to cure people of cancer? Honestly, I'd take that over flying and x-ray vision any day. Flying would be cool, though.
sunshine or snow ~ sunshine! I LOVE snow and Winter so much and I love wrapping up in lots of layers and hearing the grass crackle under my feet, but gimme sunshine, sea and sand! (Sure explains why the Tropical ponies are my favourite, huh?)
NOW, it is your turn to put Reaperfoxin the spotlight and ask her a few questions
