I have two plans for my second story, both of which zero in a little bit more on my personal interests than my profile did. I'd like to write a how-to article on starting a fanzine, specifically a metal/hardcore fanzine, using people who have launched their own as sources, and taking a look at the state of the handmade, Xeroxed fanzine in the era of the Internet. The other story I'm interested in writing is about the separation of art and artist. There have been similar articles on some sites I read, usually talking about people like Roman Polanski and Michael Vick. I'd like to take a look at it from the extreme metal perspective, dealing with bands like Arghoslent who believe in genetic racial superiority or Burzum whose sole member has been convicted for murder and arson. Right now, I'm leaning toward the how-to fanzine article as I have some sources lined up already.
If I decided to do a profile instead because these two stories don't come to fruition, I have a subject for that as well: Mr. Chris Davis, my high school English and journalism teacher who also plays in bar bands. It's a fallback, though. My primary interest would lie in the fanzine piece.
