Q. Have you
ever had any letters published in DC Comics?
A. Yes, as a matter of fact I have.
The first one wuz in The Batman and Robin Adventures #18. It's the letter
from "Elise Archer" (that's my real name).I got a mention in Shadow of
the Bat #65 - for my Joker Valentine's Day Poem (under Clipped Wings...same
name as before) another one in Shadow of the Bat #74, which wuz a letter
I wrote in response to that aforementioned mention (hehe) and is signed
Harley Quinn and the letter in Gotham Adventures #2 where I won the Best
Letter Comp, and it's signed harley_quinn1@geocities.com aka Elise!!!Most
recently I got a really really long letter published in Gotham Adventures
#15 signed Harley Quinn aka Elise!
Q. How long
have you been a Harley fan for?
A. I've been a Harley Quinn fan for
seven years now. Since I first clapped eyes on the chick!!! That wuz the
moment I felt a real empathy and similarity between the character and me,
and I have not looked back since!!!
Q. Did you
get into the Joker and Batman because of B:TAS?
A. No. I've actually been a Joker and
Batman fan for about ten years now. I've always adored the Joker the most
(naturally) which is another reason I loved Harley so much - she saw in
that God what I did =D
Q. How did
you get to know Paul Dini?
A. First of all, I don't "know" him.
I'm slightly aquainted with him! We're not best buds...I'm a fan, he's
the creator. A friend of his who wuz so impressed by my obsessive Harleyism
gave me his e-mail address and I've been e-mailing him on and off for a
while now.
Q. Is there
an official Harley Quinn website?
A. NO. The closest thing you'll get
is the B:TAS site and the TNBA
& TNSA website. Whaddya need an official site fer? I got everythin
ya need right here!hehe.(certainly more than either of those sites do!!!!!)
Q. If I send
you my Batman fanfiction will you send it to Paul Dini?
A. NO.Like I said we're not "friends"
and I can't take the liberty of doing that.Sorry!!!
Q. How old
is Harley?
A. That's a tough question. Let's see....well
assuming she went to college directly after highschool she woulda been
18. Seven years to get her psychology degree puts her at 25 at the beginning
of her intern about a year before she goes nuts...and let's say it's been
about three-four years since she started working for the Joker...which
makes her 29-30!! So she's still about half Joker's age! wowsers! Maybe
I'll just ask Dini!! hehe.
Q. How tall
is Harley and how much does she weigh?
A. Well, Harley's quite petite but she's
not as small as Ivy who is 5'0".To be a gymnast of her skill,however, she
wouldn't be as tall as say Catwoman or Talia. About 5'3". As for weight...well,
being so athletic she's quite slim, but she's got big boobs and hips, add
extra weight for the muscle...about 53 kilos (118 lbs)
Q. Will Joker
ever kill Harley?
A. Not the B:TAS one. B:TAS one goes
by the idea that keeping her alive is a worse torture for her, as he is
contstantly witholding love, but also because...well...he needs her.She's
the only one who is for him, and I think he loves her, even if he won't
admit it to even himself.The mainstream one on the other hand...is completely
nuts!!Throw B:TAS Harley with Mainstream Joker...hoo boy!He may "torture"
her for a while, and I think he may even grow fond of her in his own way,
but ina fit of rage, a fit of boredom a fit of humor, a fit of ANYTHIN
and KABLAMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Harley's dead.
Q. Will Harley
ever peramently leave the Joker?
A. Not likely.You see the main reason
Harley went insane is because of her love and passion and obsession for
the Joker. Take that away, and she doesn't have much motivation.She is
also fuelled by a desperate need for love, which is why she clings to him
so much.You'll notice Harley is only eva "released" from Arkham when she's
supposedly gotten over Joker - but her love runs far deeper and it's never
long before a smile or a word can have her back in his arms. Even when
she snobs him off and claims she doesn't love him anymore,her heart is
with him and he's usually on her mind.Also let's not forget...if you take
away the Joker, she doesn't have a motivation for bein nuts..which means
no more Harley in the cartoons and comics!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Q. Has Harley
ever killed anyone?
A. Not that we've ever seen. Though
she probably has. Not at the start of her psychotic period...then she wuz
still sort of bewlidered confused and hung up in the thrill of what she
was doin...but as time went by she probably got more and more nuts...mimicking
Joker's insanity (it's called Same-Psychosis Syndrome)and more and more
focused on what she was doin, although still treating it as a game. Dangerous
combo. And we've certainly seen her willingness to kill...she's tried to
kill Batman, Robin, Creeper and once even her Puddin!!!! (though it wuz
simply passion!!!!)
Q. Do you know
Arleen Sorkin?
A. HA! I WISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do
have her address though I just gotta work up the courage to write and ask
for an autograph!!!!!
Q. Who do you
think should play Harley in a liveaction version?
A. For me, the one and only Harley is
Arleen. If I have to settle for second best,I say Jennifer Tilly.
Q. Are you
serious when you say you'll become a serial killer if the right person
doens't play Harley?
A. Of course I am.
Q. What's your
favourite way to scare pple?
A. Stalk them with balloons. Preferably
multicolored helium filled ones.
Q.Are you sure
you're the biggest Harley fan ever?
A. I like to think so. :) Most agree.
Q How come
you haven't answered my e-mail yet?
A. Ok, this is a question I think NEEEEEEDS
to be put up here. Like I said, I ALWAYS happy to answer Harleyite's question,
when I'm able to answer them. HOWEVER, if I dont' answer you within a day
of you writing the e-mail, PLEASE don't send me constantly "nudging" e-mails
tryin to get me to answer, cuz it won't work.Sometimes, I simply don't
have time to answer all my e-mails, but I will most definetely answer it,
unless it's a question that you can find the answer to on my site.I've
had questions like "What is Mad Love?" and I'm sure you all know that's
clearly described here, so I dont' answer those ones. It's happened so
many times when pple send me the same question every couple of days, and
I get a little cranky. Sometimes my responses show this crankiness, and
then THEY get resentful, even though they were the protagonists. Ask me
the question once, I will answer it as soon as I can,I promise.
Q Why don't
you make a Harley sounds page?
A. Cuz in case ya'll ain't noticed,
EVERY OTHER HQ website has a sounds page!!! Why put up what everyone else
has got! I got sounds from Mad Love that noone else has, and I think that's
enough. All the other good sounds have been taken, and I want more originality
here! I don't wanna do what everybody else is doin!!!
Q Why don't
you put more pictures on your site?
A. Cuz this site ain't about pretty
pictures. It's about Harls and Joker!!! I have several pictures, ones you
can see everywhere, some that are only at this site, and I feel they're
in perfect balance with the writing. The main purpose is to give you info
about Harls and her world, not to laden it down with pics. Plenty of HQ
websites do that, and as everyone knows, their pictures can be found anywhere
on the web,and there aint' much info on Harls to compensate! Soon, I'll
be scannin in bunches of pics that aren't anywhere else, but for now, I
think I've got plenty!
