Interview with the Authors​

This idea came to my mind when I was watching an interview with my mother while I was extremely bored. An idea came to mind, and I thought...why not interview the authors?

This is very simple. I just pick a random author every week and interview him/her. Of course, you have to keep it in mind that I have to read the author's fics so it may take some time so don't be hasty.

I also have lots of other stuff I need to do in real life as you all know, so I may not finish an interview in a week (it depends) If the author has a lot of fics it will take more time and the interview will be longer.

I will usually interview the authors who write well and the authors that have something to say.

What's the use of this? Authors will learn more about the interviewed author, and they will probably learn a few things. It will also help people who are willing to be authors, and maybe reviewers too.

So all you have to do is sit back and wait to be interviewed. I will send a PM to the author and when I have the answers, double-checked them, and all of that then I will post it here!

If you have any questions about this please post (don't post the questions you have for the interviewed author, just post general questions)

- If you think one of the authors doesn't deserve to be interviewed send a PM with the name of the author and the reason.

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

How the Interviews Work​

- I'll send you a PM telling you to list your fics (includes one shots if you have some). You also have to list the awards you won.

- After Psychic and I finish reading your fic, the interview will start and both of us will ask you a few questions If you would like to ask a question to the interviewed author, PM me.

- If I write ____ in the interview...well, it's obvious, that's where you write your answers. Please don't erase the line, write your answers next to it. Why? It makes it easier to me when I post. Don't ask, just do it.

- Don't just write "Yes." or "No." as an answer, give long answers that have a point.

- Please don't give links to fics outside SPPf, goes to awards too.

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

Getting Your Fic Accepted​

Like I mentioned here a million times before, PM me if you want to be interviewed, and I'll reply. Please PM ONLY when you see there are places left for another author.

How do I accept and reject fics? I judge like this:

- Grammar and Spelling. If the Grammar and Spelling of the fic is good.

- Description.

- If the whole fic was dumb, interesting, or whatever.

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

Wall of Shame​

Whoever will be in this list will never, ever be interviewed...ever.

This is the result of TK getting so sick and tired of rule breakers. I had a list of rule breakers before, but I gave them all second chances. Later on, I ignored it, hoping it will get better, but it didn't, and err...this was created.

Gradius - who obviously ignored the first post, aka this.

FAQ​

lol, I find the title funny FAQ...lmfao.

Q: I'm confused, how do you interview the authors?
A: First, I send a PM to the interviewed author asking them to list thier fics and awards they've won. Then after me and Psychic finish from reading the fics I write questions and send them to Psychic, then she sends the PM back with a few questions (includes the questions that had been asked) Then we send the PM to the author and he/she answers. After that we could ask more questions and PM it back. Finally, after editing the interview I post it.

Q: How can I be interviewed?
A: Send me a PM with a link to one of your fics and I'll send a PM telling you if I accept or not.

Q: Are Shipping Fics and Previews allowed to be interviewed?
A: Yes, Shipping Fics are allowed. Previews are not though, because most of the previews don't show much detail about the fic. The fics have to be posted.

Helper​

Psychic is my helper.

- Don't ask me to replace her. I chose her, and I could change her whenever I want to.

- Psychic will always double-check on the things she will announce by PMing me to make sure first, so everything she will say is true.

When I'm not available, Psychic will work on the interview with the helper we chose, and when they're both done Psychic will post it. No one else, only Psychic.

- Please remember that any PMs that go to her about this thread get forwarded to me, and I do the same.

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

Other stuff​

- After I finish from inteviewing the authors on the list, I will take a short break, then return to interviews. During that short break, you are allowed to PM me with ideas and post here if you have any questions Don't post ideas, PM them. And don't PM questions, post them.

- To the authors I didn't accept, you get to have unlimited chances. Just try your best, practice makes perfect. Please keep it mind that I am able to not give you any chances. You should be thankful that you even HAVE chances. I'll refuse it if you just keep on writing horrible fics and I'll also refuse it if I saw you flaming anybody in the forums.

- Authors are allowed to get interviewed again only if they wrote more fics.

Interesting idea. oO;; It sounds fun. I'd DEFINITELY read Saber's interview..XD But you should also interview the lesser-known and beginner authors so they can be in the limelight and people would read their stories. Give everyone a chance, etc, etc. xD

 

[Ledian_X]

Hmm..I'd like to read Burnt Flower's interview to gain insight into her mind, which comes up with with scary stories. Then there's you Scrappy! Let's see what makes you tick! =P Either way, this is very interesting! Go for it! This should be fun!

Suprisingly enough, she is actually quite a pleasant and nice person XD Unfortunately, her beign so pleasant and nice from talking to me an others is holding back her writing ;__;

Here's an idea: why don't you say who the author to be interviewed is beforehand so people can submit questions

 

[Lady Myuu]

You know, just a sugestion but perhaps you should have a sort of poll of like three authors you might interview? and the order of votes is the order of interviews...

I'd be interested in Iceking's interview cuz he's all ready an interesting person to talk too. Scrap too... Ooh and Renegade though I think I know everything about her fic through and through (happens when you close friends XD)

There's a thought. And yeah, I talk to Burnt Flower and Scrap frequently so, yes she's a nice person. Anyway, I second the motion to reveal the first author!

[Dilasc]

I wonder if anyone would read an interview of me, or if they'd just not care about my words in favor of other authors, as per usual. I have far too much to say to NOT want to be interviewed though.

The idea is good, but I seriously think you should not choose people's favorite authors, and opt instead to interview a bunch of underdogs instead, simply because they are not known, and need their chance to shine.

 

[Seijiro Mafuné]

I'd read. I think there should be an emphasis on the lesser-known authors, however.

 

[Wandering Rhythmical Phoenix]

XD. I was mulling an Idea like this over. Beat me to it. I'm sorta looking forward to it, mt questions were all simple, I wanna see what you'll do

 

[Kiyohime]

Relax, she/he's doing random authors. Not ones based on how well or less known they are. Let's not be biased here, okay? I'm sick and tired of this whole "well-known" authors versus "underdog" authors rivalry ********. It's petty, it's irritating, and it's ridiculous. You write because you write, and that's that. Popularity does NOT NEED to be a factor. It's just interviews for Chrissake.

 

[billy5772]

Awww, this idea is awesome! These interviews should be very interesting to read. I can't wait till the first one! Billy apologizes for not actually adding anything to the thread, but he just wants you to be encouraged by his enthusiasm for the idea.

 

[Seijiro Mafuné]

He's the one who said that certain authors take preference. Not my fault I doubt I take preference.

 

[Negrek]

Interesting idea. How are you going to select the author, though? There are so many on here that they wouldn't really fit on a poll, and as you can see, there are already many different opinions on who you should pick otherwise. And if we had nominations or something like for the awards, it would take even longer to do each interview.

So I think it's a neat idea, but just the fact that it will probably get an overwhelming response could mean, IMO, that you would find the task a bit... overwhelming.

 

[Eternal Daydreamer]

To pick, I think you should put almost every author on a slip of paper then put all the scraps in a hat. Then draw one.

Honestly, good idea. Can't wait for Klaus's interview. His will be wild and zany as always. Hopefully.

 

[Lady Myuu]

I think we just need to let her (guessing by the 'water goddess' its a her) choose who she wants to interview first as it is her choice since she started this. When I meant poll I meant she would pick out three authors that she would look forward to interviewing and letting peopel vote who goes first.

Then the sumbitting question one was a good idea too... its not really our choice who gets chosen in the end. Let the thread owner decide.

 

[RaZoR LeAf]

Don't forget there's a Non-Pokemon section too. Not everyone here writes Pokemon fiction, and it would be unfair to ignore people for this. Otherwise, this is a great idea, it'd be interesting to hear of people's reasons and backgrounds behind their writing.

 

[Kamex]

Good idea. I'm sort of concerned with the questions, though... Make sure they're good. Maybe simple and straightforward, maybe specific and efficient, maybe the most wondered question. But try and make them good ones, however you do so. ^^

 

[Ledian_X]

Yeah! Non pokemon authors deserve a shot at this. So, we got to add them in. It's only fair. PX has a point. He always does.

Popularity does NOT NEED to be a factor. It's just interviews for Chrissake.

Honestly, do you think people would rather read an interview of a beloved Serebii author who has been around for years or some new guy who got about 2 reviews and nobody knows? Not saying it's exactly the fairest of situations, but I think we should acknowledge the fact that there are some more popular people (e.g., Breezy and Dragonfree) that people would love to read a interview from. I think perhaps we should do two interviews a week conducted by two diffferent people: one of a more well known beloved serebii author and a less known/beginnier author

 

[Kiyohime]

Yes, I'm well aware of it, but I REALLY WOULD LOVE IT IF PEOPLE WOULD STOP BITCHING ABOUT IT AND BRINGING IT UP EVERYWHERE. I know I'm overreacting in some aspects, but this is really starting to grate on my nerves like nothing else.
