I thought this was a very interesting interview, particularly in that it talks about how you both viewed the Alice character from the books.
It makes me realize that a Moore/Reppion book is written from a point of view that not many people employ these days, that you adapt the work to speak for itself and from it’s own time rather than bending the adaption to try to say something you want it say. I say Bravo! for that.
I think I mentioned it once before here, but at the risk of repeating, I’ve heard it said from an Alice fan and migraine sufferer that the visions and attitudes of Wonderland are very much influenced by the act of having a migraine. Do either of you suffer from migraines and would agree with that?

@Darkglobe – thanks mate, really glad you enjoyed the interview.
I’m not sure I’ve ever come across the migraine theory before (not even from your good self).
A quick Goggle reveals that “Alice in Wonderland Syndrome [..] is a disorienting neurological condition which affects human perception. Sufferers may experience micropsia, macropsia, and/or size distortion of other sensory modalities. A temporary condition, it is often associated with migraines, brain tumors, and the use of psychoactive drugs.”
Micropsia and macropsia are the key “Wonderland” elements here – meaning that objects appear smaller or larger (respectively) than they actually are.
I’m happy to report neither of us suffer from either migraines or any other disorienting neurological conditions on a regular basis.

actually I do occasionally get focal migraines, where instead of a mad headache I just get really crazy patterns across my vision and then feel all weak and rubbish. not as nasty as proper ones but still odd! hadn’t heard of the syndrome though…
