↳ ❝how can i admit that i think about her all the time? or that i care about her more than anyone? how can i admit that i don’t know what i will do if any harm comes to her?… because nothing can ever happen between us. to admit my feelings knowing that, it hurts too much. ❞
Mordred nodded. “Truth, hnor and valor, King Arthur had tried to
destroy me in babyhood, but I understood and forgave. It was not me,
myself, he had tried to destroy, but a prophecy.”

1.
What is your favourite Arthurian book?
The Knightly Tales of Sir Gawain, it has some good enjoyable stories and a lot of notes I find fascinating, which adds so much to the tales.
2.
What is the worst Arthurian book you’ve ever read?
The Penwyth Curse, A stereotypical rapy bad romance novel with the man turning out to be Merlin in the end? I think It was weird.. I haven’t read it in like years….
3.
If
gave you an unlimited budget to make an Arthurian book into a movie or
TV series, which book would you choose? What would it look like?
I want
Girart d’Amien’s Escanor, because it’s an amazing romantic comedy starring Kay and I want to see it modernized a bit dang nabit.
4.
Which of the characters is your favourite?
Kay. I like to think of him as the original guy too old for this shit. The first person to call you out and he last person to leave your side.
5.
Which character is your least favourite?
Gareth, some times he can be redeemed like in Exciled from Camelot, but he really just seems to me to be someone who was super rude then got pissed off a the consequences to his actions.
6.
Which Arthurian character do you wish writers would feature more?
I feel like the world is so ready for a Sir Tor Movie. Basically he is a noble raised by peasants who becomes one of the best jousters and honourable knights.
It seems to me like a lot of writers try to make Arthur, Tor but it doesn’t work so well it just kinda… yeah… make Tor, Tor don’t make Arthur, Tor.
7.
Which Arthurian time period do you prefer? Sub-Roman Britain or medieval?
What ever works with the story best. I can be partial to Touries though…
8.
Past-Arthur, Arthur-in-the-present-day, or Arthur-in-space?
Yes.
9. If you could re-write an Arthurian story, which one would it be? How would it be different?
The Morte de Arthur, Tristam and Iseult, it really seemed to me while going through Malory’s work that Iseult was originally in love with Palamedes, she tricks Tristam into stopping Palamedes from marrying her cousin, but then drinks the love position and falls for Tristam.
It’s why she goes with Palamedes and why she stops him from being killed, it’s her real love for Palamedes that is fighting with the love potion.
10.
What Arthurian location (Camelot, Avalon etc.) do you wish was real?
Definitely Camelot, I would really like to sit a the Round Table.
11.
Have you read The Forgotten Sister? What did you think of it?
Awhile back, my brother commissioned me to draw an older King Arthur in a moment of tragedy or anguish.
The commission didn’t really go through, but I wanted to post the end result anyway. Drawn in several different kinds of pen, white marker, Sharpie, and white gel pen. The other page has some ill thought-out Pearl paper collaged around an unfinished sketch.
The coronation was a splendid ceremony. What was still more splendid, it was like a birthday or Christmas Day. Everybody sent presents to the Wart, for his prowess in having learned to pull swords out of stones, and several burghers of the City of London asked him to help them in taking stoppers out of unruly bottles, unscrewing taps which had got stuck, and in other household emergencies which had got beyond their control.
