So, upon hearing that Alex herself had become a member of her fanforum, I recently joined it. It's awesome because even being the busy, wonderful lady (and mother) that she is, she actually does find time to post. They are long, meaningful posts and it really feels like you are interacting with her one on one because, well...you kind of are!!!! There's a thread where you can post questions for her to answer, and she usually answers one every time she logs on. I posted mine about a week ago and honestly I wasn't expecting an answer because I figured there would be way too many questions for her to answer all of them, but I checked this morning and SHE REPLIED TO ME!!! I got WAYY too excited about it and started freaking out because it was a long answer to a short question, showing that she really legitimately wanted to answer my question and hear what I had to say. Awesome!! I encourage you all to join Alex's forum if you want to get in touch with Alex herself, because I have seen that it really is awesome.
