Hi, I joined this forum recently. So I am a newbie here. but before I introduce myself, I´d like to know if this forum is still active. So many very old posts in here... 
Well anyway...
I am from Germany, so I apologize for making mistakes - grammarwise.
I am 45 years old and Alan´s fan.... since... I don´t actually know...
He ´s been in the recesses of my mind for a long time. Since 1994 I´d say. ;D
Actually I am a big fan of Ralph´s (Fiennes!). For ages. I have an American friend, from Seattle, who attended his Hamlet on Broadway in1994. She wrote me about that event and then she wrote: At the bar during the break I suddenly heard Alan Rickman´s voice behind my back That voice. THE Voice."
And the rest of her mail dealt with Alan. How she´d approached him, how she talked to him, how nice he was, how great his voice....
What was that. My friend, the most ardent Fiennes-fan in the world was bubbling over with another actor.
(Who the devil was that Alan Rickman?)
Well, from that day I always was (mildly) interested in him. The only actor who was able to distract her from Ralph. Impossible and scandalous.
In 2000 I got tickets (a lot of them for many perfomances!; first row - middle seat) for the Shakespeare plays Ralph Fiennes did in London (and NYC).
And I have another friend, an ardent Fiennes fan too, of course, from London. Of course she went to see Ralph at the Gainsborough Studios (very often).
When I met her in London, she told me, that only the day before Alan had been there to see the play and he had been sitting 3 hours next to her seat. (She couldn´t hardly follow the play, because she was so distracted... ;D) She told me, that Ralph Fiennes, though busy with a lengthy monologue had time to wink at Alan discreetly. And Alan had nodded back.
Envy. I was one day late.
I don´t know when I really began being Alan´s fan myself. Maybe because I love his Snape ...
I think, it was Alan´s film Snow Cake, one of my Top5 films ever, and of course his Colonel Brandon and of course his sexy Hans Gruber. Yes..I think it was his Hans Gruber. "The code, please!"
I saw Ralph on stage - and I´d kill to see Alan too. I missed his "Tribute to late Sir Mortimer" in London (November 2009), because I had no early information about it. And since I live in Germany, a cultural iceflow - Alanwise - I am very anxious about missing further appearances on stage.
So I´d like to join this forum and I do hope, it´s still active !!!
cheers
