Happy day-after-Scooby’s anniversary! Today, the spotlight is on Mr. Spinner, a Scooby-Doo fanfiction writer who has written the fangtastic “The Wolfman of Grimwood” story on Fanfiction.net. I met Mr. Spinner after writing my own Ghoul School fanfiction, Fangs for the Memories. We got to talking a bit, and began reading over each other’s work for feedback. Today, the tradition still continues, and we’re still always the first person to read each other’s Ghoul School themed fanfiction chapters before they are published live!
Here’s Mr. Spinner’s profile: 1. What is your name? Mr. Spinner 2. How did you get into Scooby-Doo? I had a DVD of Reluctant Werewolf and some of the shorts when I was a kid. I got into Ghoul School in my 2nd grade class. 3. What is your favorite Scooby-Doo episode and film? Why? A Night of Fright is No Delight and Zombie Island. 4. What ways are you involved in the Scooby fandom online? Just fanfiction. 5. In your opinion, what is the best series or era of Scooby? The 90's films (Zombie Island - Cyber Chase) with the original series as a close second. 6. If they could make a sequel to one Scooby-Doo series or film, what would it be? Ghoul School, full stop. It's why I wrote my fanfic, The Wolfman of Grimwood. 7. What direction would you like to see the franchise go in the future? More real supernatural threats or hijinx (like the 80's and 90's) 8. Who is your favorite member of the gang and why? Either Shaggy as the most relatable or Velma as the smart one. 9. What is your favorite villain? Why? The Phantom of the Castle/Bluestone the Great. Mostly because he's really amicable about being caught. 10. In your opinion, who is the best recurring (non-gang) character in the franchise? The Hex Girls. 11. Do you have a Scooby-Doo collection? If so, what's in it? Nope. 12. What do you think has made the franchise so popular that it's still going strong after 50 years? For better or worse, continued tweaking and reinvention for further generations. 13. What is one fun fact about you in real life? I'd been imagining a crossover between Werewolf Shaggy and the Ghoul School girls for years. It only occurred to me to write it about five years after I discovered fanfiction, when I couldn't find any good writings for it. Thank so much to Mr. Spinner for doing this fan profile, as well as his continued friendship and support with my fanfic over the years!

It's a very interesting read, and he does a really nice job tying in elements from the other 80s films/13 Ghosts.
