[Kevin] When you write Callisto stories, how important is it to keep within the Hercules/Xena Universe as depicted in both TV shows?

[Darth Skeye] It isn't a do or die thing for me, but this is fan fiction and I like to keep to the occasionally camp, and anachronistic flavor of the show.

[Kevin] Do you read any other Callisto fan fiction? How about other fan fiction in general? Is there any fan fiction that has influenced your writings? How has it influenced your writings?

[Darth Skeye] I do read a little, not too much though. Time always seems to be at a premium these days. I've looked at some Highlander fan fiction but that's it. I mostly only read about Callisto. I think every piece of art -- be it a book, a picture or what have you -- influences you and what you do. So yes, absolutely, I have been inspired. Callisto's Wish by Tower, another Choose Your Own Adventure, inspired me. It was a stand out in a fledgling era of Callisto Fan Fic and still is today. It first of all showed me what a fun (yet very difficult I later found out) area of writing multi-path stories is. It also helped fuel my passion for writing with Callisto.

[Kevin] Which is your personal favorite Callisto story that you have written? What makes it your favorite story?

[Darth Skeye] I have many. I think the last one I wrote, Favorite Pastime, was my favorite. I changed the setting, quite drastically, and it sort of refreshed and energized me. I liked it because by putting Callisto in the Modern Era it opens up an entirely new universe of things for her to do. It is a joy trying to figure what Callisto would be like 2 millenia and change later in midtown Manhattan. What car would she drive? What does she think of traffic? Is she afraid to walk alone at night?

[Kevin] If you had to do it all over again, are there any stories that you would change substantially? What would you change?

[Darth Skeye] I think I would change Favorite Pastime a little. It was so much fun to write, that I kind of rushed it a bit. I think I touched upon two fascinating subjects. Namely, Petris' passive boredom with life and thoughts of suicide, and also Callisto's fascination with psychology. I would have delved into those stories in greater detail if I could do it over.

[Kevin] Who do you write for? Who is the intended audience for your Callisto stories?

[Darth Skeye] I write for myself first and foremost. I truly have a lot of fun writing these stories. I also write for Herc and Xena fans. I try to keep with the same basic formula of campy drama that the producers created.
