In 1999, she participated in an ongoing interview series on the COCO CHANNEL: "I first became aware of the existence of fandom in late 1994, when I found the Trek boards on AOL and learned about zines and fanfic. It was tough going in the beginning though, because I was only interested in Classic Trek, and at that time there wasn't much to be found online. I had no idea how to go about meeting other fans. I knew only that there existed some vague nebulous group of people I wanted to meet... sort of like a secret society and I didn't yet have the password."An Interview with Killashandra, September 1999
Some 17 years later, she was interviewed by nrrrdy_grrrl and had this to say about fandom: "But I think that's one of my favorite things about fandom—the nature of the fannish experience is that though we drift from one fandom to another, there's a constant give and take with other fans that builds on the past relationships we've had." the opposite of vanilla: a talk with killa, interview by nrrrdy_grrrl dated November 27, 2011 (journal purged and deleted)
