Frequently Asked - Quibble...

What's this here about?

If you have been to the Mainpage, I think you should know. If not, I suggest you dedicate to the areas "The Books", "Ilionej's World" and "About Me".

 

 

Who or what is "Ilionej"?

The main-protagonist, so, the biggest key point of all key points in my novels. For more information, the rubrics "The Books" and "Ilionej's World" are kindly at your disposal.

P.S.: It's pronounced "Eeonnay". ;)

 

 

You write?

Yes. Since I could, and relatively actively since I was 16. But until my 11th year of age I didn't even want to read. Joanne Kathleen Rowling luckily changed my mind.

 

 

How did the idea for these books come into your mind?

One summerday in Bad Tatzmannsdorf, when I was thinking about the family tree of a certain old man, whom also Abiùl(Ilionej's grandfather) and his twin brother Aberio are based of. No, this man doesn't live anymore, nor did he know about me during his lifetime.

Then somewhen I had the concepts for St.Georges and Ilionej's grand aunt Maya in mind. Though the concept of the story(1 A4 page) was a bit dull, so I let dust fall onto it.

About a year later, in 2007, I went looking for it again because I suddendly had an afflatus. I can't even remember what it was and how it happened.

Anyway, one emerged from another and suddenly the prologue had 21 pages(pocket size), which made it become the 1st chapter. In the end there were 723 pages as well as 3(by now there are 11) chapters of a successor and the beginning and ending of part 3.

 

 

Can I read the books already?

If you find information on the book "Nizéth's Remains" in "The Books", then novel number one has been published.

 

 

Not long ago I read about a story quite similar to what you describe yours.

Well - what can I say, there is a limit of human imagination and a limited mass of existing information. What each of us makes from it, can never be predicted. Also there are people resembling each other. So it can quite likely be that similar ideas are seized. Whoever this author is, I don't know and don't want to know, as I want to remain relatively unaffected, because I think that this other person wasn't influenced by me either(At least I hope so. I however know where I got my inspiration from and this will be listed truthfully in all detail in the speeches of thanks in my novels).

But I can guarantee that, whatever is the main essence of this other story, is for sure different to mine. Because, even if their descriptions might sound familiar to you, the point of my story is far from what is conveyed in the first novel. Have fun thinking. =)
It could however be, that this person stole the story out of the information I already provided. >:( Therefore it would perhaps be nice to keep your eyes open and bring such stories to my attention. Thanks.

 

 

FanFiction? But there isn't one on your books in there!

Of course not. This page contains FanFictions I write about other stories. Wouldn't it be crazy if there existed fan stories for a not yet published novel? O_o

 

 

Where did you learn how to draw?

Partly it's heredity, the rest came through encouragement by my teachers(quite indirectly) or was self-taught.

 

 

Musician?

Hmm...once there was a time when I used to compose. But due to technical lacks I couldn't continue propperly. Since then I'm only playing the piano for myself, the transverse flute in the Musikverein and sing at the top of my voice when I'm alone. No worries. Mostly it won't harm the neighbours. Only if I'm not turning on the volume in my earphones too much - or being hoarse. ^^;

 

 

How do you make all the jewellery? And - is that easy?

In the workshop of the Ortweinschule, as well as at home. For more, please read it the category "About Me". Detailed enquiries go either to the Guestbook or direct contacting. :) And no. It takes years of practice. And still I don't master it, or I'm too impatient. Also you may kick the thought of being able to do that on your kitchen table without bigger financial effort right out of your head. Even I have a propper goldsmith's table and appropriate tools for the work at home. Though still I have to do the bigger works in school.

 

 

What's the "Curiosity-Shop"?

My collection of important and unimportant things from the World Wide Web as well as my everyday life.

 

 

Somewhere I overheard that you started as Cosplayer. Why can't I find a thing about this on here?

Because I felt that this very own kind of art needs its very own page. Look here: http://ilionej-cosplay.jimdo.com/

Though its construction is quite similar to the page here, it solely deals with my work as a Cosplayer. Even the N.E.W.S. part runs entirely independent now.

 

 

Where does your inspiration come from? (e.g. for the persons / places / events in your novels)

For me, inspiration can come from everywhere. It can be anything from an amazingly talented artist to a total jerk as a person, from the most beautiful sunset to a tiny piece of broken concrete lying in front of my toes. Simply anything. What my brain does with it, I often have no bearing of and therefore can do nothing but putting it down in any way.

 

 

Do you sell your work?

I hope to sell the books at least. ;) Though I don't write any stories/poems, neither for money, nor for obliging anyone. If we know one another personally, it's different of course...

I'm possibly up for grabs if you need a short text translated somewhere between German and English and I'm for sure the better alternative to the Google Translator, shouldn't you have any relatives or acquaintances with corresponding knowledge.

 

Concerning jewellery and similar, original works are basically not for sale. However, I am indeed willing to reproduce the one or other piece. Unfortunately I cannot ship internationally yet, which means that I would prefer customers from around Austria(that one in the middle of Europe, not the Kangaroo Continent ;P ). Inherently I don't ship, nor deliver, but we could meet somewhere, couldn't we? Besides, I'd like to know whom I entrust with my hallows. But no worries. I do respect privacy.

 

An absolute NO to everything in connection with my FanFictions and Cosplay Costumes! Maybe posters and autograph cards later, but I'll announce that.

Pictoral wishes are up for discussion. :)

 

Anyhow I reserve all rights that are not contradictory to third party rights(so as for example in the matter of FanArt)!

 

 

Deutsche Version? Who translates your page?

The German Version is the original. You are currently on the version I translated to English all by myself. Forgive me please, if you come across odd sentences.
