The
Johnny Depp Zone Archives
This site
represents a long-time dream of mine come true—an addition to
the Johnny Depp Zone that contains great interviews with Johnny,
outstanding fan fiction, and all of Johnny’s own published
writing. The Archives are a great place to come and read to learn more
about Johnny, to track his growth as an artist over the course of his
career, or to be pleasantly diverted with stories about his movie
characters.
Loading
The Interview
Home link will take you to a
collection of the best magazine and newspaper articles published about
Johnny Depp in the past twenty years. The interviews are presented in
chronological order—the earliest stories date from
1987—and are divided by era. All of the articles are
presented in a reader-friendly format and include photographs. We
Zoners love photographs of Johnny Depp, so if the article
didn’t include enough visual appeal, we added more pictures
from our own collections.
The By
Johnny link conducts you to a collection of
works written
by Johnny Depp himself. The pieces in this archive are gifts from
Joni’s personal collection, and we thank her very much for
sharing them.
The Movie
Lore link takes you to a series of articles
that give behind-the-scenes information about Johnny Depp’s films. In
Movie Lore, we gather stories that focus on “the making of”
individual films, as well as interviews with directors, producers,
designers, fellow actors, cinematographers, and writers who worked with
Johnny.
Movie Lore is Theresa's labor of love, and we thank her for her work
developing
the archive.
The Reflections
link connects you
to a
collection of brief quotes about Johnny
Depp by his friends and colleagues. These are arranged alphabetically
by the
speaker’s last name. The
Reflections Archive
is Sleepy’s brainchild; she has been
collecting quotes about Johnny for as long as there’s been a
Zone. Many thanks
to her and to Joni for sharing
their collections. Reading
the quotes in
Reflections is a great way to learn a lot about Johnny in a short time.
The
FanFic
Home link leads to a collection of a few of our
favorite
works of fan fiction. These are complete stories featuring Johnny
Depp's movie characters, written by Zone members. All stories in the
Fan Fiction Archive are copyrighted by the individual authors and
remain their exclusive property; all rights reserved. We reprint the
stories with the authors’ permission. Please do not copy or
republish these works elsewhere without obtaining the
writers’ consent first; you can reach the individual authors
via the Johnny Depp Zone main site.
The
Archives
are a read-only site, presented for
the enjoyment of Deppheads everywhere. Bandwidth here re-sets every
day, so if you find someday that you cannot access the site, it simply
means the day’s bandwidth has already been
exhausted—we’ll be back online the next day with a
fresh supply.
Many
thanks
to Theresa, who designed the Johnny
Depp Zone Archives and did the code for every article and story
included here. It was a labor of love, but it was a labor of many
months, and we wouldn’t have the Archives without her. Thanks
also to software designer and web guru Andreas Viklund; Theresa adapted
his open-source template for the Archives’ basic design, and
we are very grateful to him for sharing his work.
Thanks
are
also due to the Archive Editors,
Part-Time Poet, Theresa, and Joni, who spent untold hours transcribing,
editing, selecting and adding photographs, proofreading, and writing
copy. Thanks to DeepinDepp, who transcribed many articles from her
collection, and to Emma and In-too-Depp, who shared great vintage
interviews with us. Thanks to every Zone member who donated an article;
the list of contributors appears in the Interview Archive. Many thanks
to our talented fanfic authors who
graciously allowed their works to be reprinted in the Fan Fiction
Archive. Finally, thanks to Johnny Depp himself . . . for sitting
through all those interviews when he’d have preferred to be
somewhere else; for writing to celebrate the works of artists he
admires; and for providing a continual source of inspiration to the
staff and members of the Zone, and to moviegoers everywhere.
The
Archives
are an ongoing project, so please stop by often . . . we will be adding
new articles and stories throughout the year. If you are interested in
up-to-the minute news about Johnny Depp, or you want to browse through
extensive photo galleries of Johnny, or you would enjoy some
conversation with literate, witty, adult fans of Johnny
Depp—possibly conversation about what you have read
here--please
