Q:
Do
you know Will Ferrell? Have you ever
spoken to him? Can you get me his
autograph?
A:
I've never met him, neither have I ever
spoken to him. If I can get an autograph,
I'll see about getting you some, too.
Maybe.
Q:
Does
Will Ferrell know about Planet
Will?
A:
To the best of my knowledge, he's seen
Planet Will once. He returned a fan letter
I had sent him confirming that fact, but
not much else. He called the site, "quite
flattering."
Q:
Have
you tried to write to
Will?
A:
Every
week. I'm also sending him letters from
Planet Will readers who send their notes
to letters2will@madmail.com.

for more information.
Q:
How
long has Planet Will been
around?
A:
Planet Will started on December 16th,
1997. It's one of the oldest maintained
Will Ferrell sites on the web.
Q:
How big is the Planet Will
staff?
A:
Usually just one person, me...but anyone
is welcome to send in information,
pictures, sounds and whatever else they
think Planet Will could use. It's really a
site for the Will Ferrell fans. I'm just
the guy that arranges it all into one big
package.
Q:
Do you have copies of Saturday Night Live
episodes? Can you make me some copies? I
can pay you for
them?
A:
As much as I'd like to help you out, I
just don't have that kind of time or
energy to do something like that. (Not to
mention the legal ramifications.) The best
advice would be to search some newsgroups,
or ask some people on the Planet Will
mailing list if they can help.
Q:
Do
you have this particular sound
file/scene/picture I'm looking
for?
A:
If it's not up at Planet Will, odds are I
don't have what your looking for in an
electronic format. If I did I'd post it. I
do, however, listen closely to what you
guys would want to see at this site and
try my hardest to make it
happen.
Q:
How do I sign up for the Planet Will
mailing list?
A:
Just follow this
link
and follow the easy directions. We don't
spam, and we don't fill up your mail with
crap; just good Will Ferrell/SNL
stuff.
Q:
Can I borrow some of the pictures/sounds
from your website to use on
mine?
A:
Usually that's fine, as long as you're not
a commercial site. If you run a private
fan page (like Planet Will is) you're less
likely to get in trouble with the images
and sounds and so forth. Copyright issues
are a bear. If you're in the clear,
though, just do me the favor of linking
and acknowledging that you got the
material from Planet Will, originally:
The link should be pointed to
<http://planetwill.jt.org> with an
accompanying line that says, "Courtesy of
Planet Will."
Q:
How often do you update Planet
Will?
A:
Truthfully, as often as I humanly can.
Summers are slow as information comes in
slower, but things pick up during the
regular TV season. Planet Will is one of
many websites that I maintain, so it
shares time with my other hobbies and
interests.
Mailing list members always are the first
to know when Planet Will is updated, so
get signed up, if you aren't
already.
Q:
How long have you been a Will Ferrell
fan?
A:
Ever since his first episode. People who
know me remember that I was enamored as
soon as he started screaming at those kids
off-camera to, "GET OFF THE SHED!!" I was
immediately struck by the freshness of his
humor, and soon recognized that talent he
had within.
It wasn't long after that that I was
learning how to build web pages. After a
while of trial and error and finding out
what I liked and didn't like about web
pages, I landed on Planet Will as one of
my favorite ideas to maintain. It's gone
through a few facelifts, but I've been
loving every minute of it.
As I've stated before, my ultimate goal is
to be recognized by Will, himself, and to
establish Planet Will as his official fan
club on the web. If that never happens, I
won't regret the experience of making a
fun site about a fun guy
possible.
