I volunteer!

Who? who is getting interviewed? I can only ask people to. If/When they accept, I will notify everyone on this topic.
When? This is not a daily event. Whenever the interviewee is ok with it.
Some kind of limit to the kind of questions? Aside from the usual common sense/no personal info asked/revealed... can't think of many.

I will pm members about getting interviewed. Members who want to get interviewed can also pm me.

Awesome first interview, Legend. You picked a good range of questions and I like how you're tailoring many of them specifically to the people you're interviewing, asking about their CL projects, etc.

And thanks PK for volunteering to be interviewed and giving us some really interesting answers to read. I finally know the origin of your username! And thanks also for thanking me.

[Guest]

I collect info about the interviewee (basic stuff like FF stories and interests) and use it. I want each and every interview to feel special.

Kitty's interview (finished) should be up in a few minutes.

[AeonFrodo]

What a well rounded interview Legend. I really look forward to Kittyclaw's interview!

Out of curiosity, are you going to randomly PM people to ask to interview them, or people who just volunteer their time to answer your questions?

[Guest]

Actually, it's a mix of people I want to interview, active members on the site and those who want to.

[Soul Jelly]

Aww, a lovely interview. Some really insightful comments on writing in there Kitty; I feel inspired just reading this. Also CATS <3


Again, really thought-provoking questions Legend. Thanks for hosting!

[Tsunamix]

I also would like to volunteer. I figure that the people should hear more about me than just what I've been complaining about, but I digress. Whenever you can get back to me would be great.

[Guest]

Pm me and we will work it out.

[SeeMeInTheShadows]

Soul, we hold the knife the same way while still being right handed...

[Kittyclaw]

'also holds her fork/knife that way' That's was such an awesome interview~! Soul, you're awesome (and I had no clue you were an English major! 'englishmajorhighfive').

Legend, I love how you tailor the interview portions about the writing so well, but asking questions that key into authors specific styles. That's so cool.

Actually it's all awesome. Like Aeon said, really well rounded, and learning everyone's ff stories is so interesting :]

[cya6]

These are so awesome! They manage to ask questions that both round out each person, as an author, as a CL fan, as an XL member, and just a a person in general!

Can't wait to see who you do next, Legend!

[Dobermutt]

I agree with Cya! Very neat!

[Soul Jelly]

YAY, I'M NOT ALONE!
weird-knife-holding-highfive @ Shadows and Kitty

and, English-major-highfive@ Kitty

XD

Thanks again Legend, that was really fun. Can I also just say, it was a nice change to pull an all-nighter with someone actually in my time zone I hope you got enough sleep on Sunday!

[Snickie]

What do you mean "left-handed knife holding"? You hold your fork in your right hand and your knife in your left hand when you cut your food on your plate? I do that too, but I was told that left-handed people hold their knife and fork the same way right-handed people do.

I think it's funny that this conversation has been the most focused on fork-and-knife-holding quirks. XD

I was more concerned that I have killed you when you didn't show up the next day . I think I have done the usual. Stayed up for a couple hours after you went off and slept for 7-8 hours. Agree that having someone from the same timezone was fun.

I am left-handed and I hold the fork in my right and the knife in my left.

[cya6]

you're of the devil, Legend. this proves it

who's gonna be next?

[Guest]

Aeon and then Suna. Both interviews are finished.

[Soul Jelly]

LOL. Nah, I've just decided to try and reset my sleeping pattern. Surprisingly, I stayed awake until that night.


Oh, might I also suggest making a list of quick links in the first post of the 'Interviews' thread, linking to each separate interview? Will make browsing easier for people just wanting to skip to the latest one instead of scrolling through all the text.

[Kittyclaw]

That's a good idea, Soul. Like, maybe up in the post Shadows made? Then there's also a quick-refence list of people who've been interviewed so far, in case someone's looking for one in particular.

[Guest]

Or have a sub-forum where each interviewee gets a topic. That way we wont have to post comments on another topic. More organised for sure.

I mean, we have a sub-forum for fanclubs!

[tbcr]

ah, some of the proust questionnaire questions, wonderful

[Atlas]

Hmm, that's really weird.

I hold my fork in my left, and my knife in my right....
