Well, I was uncertain at first, but after some PMs to ElDo I'm getting quite enthusiastic about this. I'd certainly like to do a couple more if this is a success. I'm uncertain enough though, especially when we'll start interviewing off-site, that I'll ask some of you to review my list of questions. Which off-site characters do you have in mind, anyway?

"Then shall the last battle be gathered on the fields of Valinor. In that day Tulkas shall strive with Melko, and on his right shall stand Fionwe and on his left Turin Turambar, son of Hurin, Conqueror of Fate; and it shall be the black sword of Turin that deals unto Melko his death and final end; and so shall the Children of Hurin and all men be avenged." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Shaping of Middle-Earth

Elven Doritos

Turin, don't doubt yourself. You've already demonstrated an intuitive knack for questions and style that I would've never thought of. :)

And I'm as interested as you are about off-site interviews, but that will be in the future, probably-- once we continue to build our rep and cover our in-site bases. :P

"The Giant," Monte Cook, Morrus (at enWorld), and possibly Keith Baker (creator of Eberron) since he's apparently pretty easy to get ahold of.  I've already emailed and received responses from 2 of those, waiting on the other 2.

For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.

That would be awesome to do. Dibs on interviewing them even if I'll never do another interview. Such an interview, by the way, would also be a great advertisement for our site, if we can somehow get the word out that we have it.

@ ElDo: Thanks. I'm glad you like my ideas.

Man, the Giant is REALLY hard to get ahold of....

Isn't he at a convention or something?  And besides, I've heard he has some scheduling issues...

I believe he's running the convention circuit or somesuch at the moment. He's a very, very busy guy.

Yeah, but I've tried getting in touch with him many times, through his admins, mods, and through direct emailing... oh well, I'll keep trying.

Indeed! I'm very interested in what you've got in the works. :)

beejazz, if you don't have particular stories written yet, I've been working on some ideas for a webcomic; my problem is, I can't really draw the style art I'd want for it, but if you're interested in a bit of help, please PM me.

Guys, now that the first issue is out, I'd just like to remind you that there's a bit less than three weeks left to submit. :)

Who's writing up articles for this month thus far? I've received a couple, I'm just curious if anyone else is developing anything.
