Today on 8-Bit Girl, I had the pleasure of interviewing Kelly, writer and moderator of her Tomb Raider fansite The Archaeology of Tomb Raider. Her site is a fantastic source of Tomb Raider news, features and reviews, as well as interesting posts on history, archaeology and travel.
As a lover of both Tomb Raider and history myself (I graduated with a degree in history), I knew I had to get her on the site. So take a look below at my questions and Kelly's answers!
Hey Kelly! Introduce yourself!
Well, I'm Kelly, a blogger, translator, and information specialist originally from Gibraltar but currently living in the Netherlands with my husband and two cats, Rico and Juno. When I'm not working on the site, you can find me reading (mostly non-fiction and travel literature), gaming, learning foreign languages, fussing over the cats, planning my next trip abroad, or spending time at my local archery club.
Your site is a fantastic source of Tomb Raider and archaeological lore. What made you start The Archaeology of Tomb Raider?
Aww, thanks. That's very sweet of you.
I started The Archaeology of Tomb Raider as a way of getting more involved in the Tomb Raider fan community and since there are so many fansites out there, I had to try and carve a little niche for myself. The idea of creating a fansite that focussed on the art and artefacts seen in the Tomb Raider games had been in my mind for years but it wasn't until the reboot came out that I finally decided to put my plan into action.
