Frequently Asked Questions
How do I send in my FanArt?
Quite simply! Attach your web-ready jpg or gif artwork (or cosplay photo) in an email to Contact@MadamBoss.com. Include anything you would like to say about your artwork, its title, and your name for proper credit.
Why Cindy?
After purchasing the CD Drama Birth of Mewtwo I immediately took to the art book that came with it. The symbols under "Onna Bosu" read "Sendai" in katakana. I assumed it was meant to be her name, roughly translating into English as Cindy. I used this as Madam Boss's real name for many years until a good friend who was a native Japanese speaker, informed me that "sendai" was a title for the founder of a company or corporation. Regardless, it made logical sense to keep her name as Cindy.
Giovanni senior?
Ok, so I wasn't very original. The suffix Jr. and Sr. are an inside joke between my husband and I and have to do with my day time talk show obsession. Since nothing is known about Giovanni's biological father I decided to make him an "equal" rather than an employee, and corrupting him to try and over throw Madam Boss, adding to the dynamic between her interactions with Giovanni Jr. (her son) and giving a little drama to the up and coming Team Rocket story.
What is the basis of this story?
The basis of this story is deeply rooted in my own role play haven Wicked Rockets. But before the website was even started my friends and I wrote stories together in a free-form role play format. We explored a lot of characters and loved doing "time travel" where we would take current characters and stick them in the past to learn and interact with the characters that presumably no longer existed. Madam's time happened to be one of those avenues explored, myself personally always playing her role. Years later when I married my husband we began to refine the story together. I owe a lot of people credit for my development of Madam Boss, for without them and their long hours of story writing, this labor of love would not exist.
There's not a whole lot of actual Pokémon in this story...
Yeah, I know. To be honest my friends and I really didn't care too much about the animalistic fantasy creatures so we omitted them from our writing unless we really had to have them present. Since then I've tried to pay them more mind, but I find the humans much more interesting.
When will there be more?
When I damn well feel like making more.
When is Madam's birthday?
In this story it's March 28th. She is a fiery, fiery Aries.
What's Madam's favorite soap opera?
Once soap operas moved to television Madam occasionally watched "Dark Shadows", and favored "Days of Our Lives" in her 30's. But ask her and she may argue "Happy Days".
How does Madam want to die?
I'm sure by old age... But things don't always work out that way, huh?
What's the most bizarre thing that's ever happened to Madam?
Charlotte...
What is Madam's most illogical fear? (like zombies)
Madam isn't a very illogical person. Any fear or problem can be solved with a little cunning or violence--although her aura has disturbed and plagued her for many years. I think the fact everyone says it's there and she can't see it bothers her the most.
What is Madam's favorite old school video game?
She was very limited on video games.. So by default, Pong. And Pokémon of course ;)
