Title: Interview Topics
Post by: Black Wolf on December 24, 2002, 11:52:45 am: Well, tell us what you want! You've seen various styles here on the forum, each with their own focii and main subjects. So what should we emphasize in our interviews to produce better results for you?

NB. Before you vote for Option four, keep in mind that by overdoing the 'balance' we risk heading into 'Jack of all trades, Master of none' territory, plus there is by neccesity a certain time limit to these things - often I do my interviews at 2 and 3 AM to try and get around time difference problems for example, which means I cant spend the next four hours exploring all the topics I might like to. Not saying Option 4 is a bad one, just reminding you that it's not neccesarily the best.

Any other ideas, please post in the thread.

Perhaps you could have a few interveiwers focus on one subject and a few on another...i.e FS and Real Life.

But some of us wanna know if Woo prefers weaties or corn flakes goddamnit!

Post by: Setekh on January 19, 2003, 02:28:57 am: I went for option one. 2 and 3 are much more, how to put it, closer to the surface; they're the kind of things anyone could find out when talking to someone for a few minutes in this kind of community. Number 1, though, is deeper, is about the person themself; something that a lot of people won't get the opportunity to ever reach on their own, the sort of thing that would be more useful to put in a publication... like an interview. ;) Well, that's IMHO. :nod:
