Many moons ago, over at
Annesplace , the fantastic idea of interviewing FoLCdom's authors about their stories and how they'd become involved with LNC and writing was introduced to FoLCdom.
The result was the wonderfully fascinating
Writers\' Showcase Collection .
Recently, the Showcase Team got an email or two requesting new interviews with a couple of our most recent authors. And that, of course, led us to realise how long it had been since the last interview was uploaded!
A tradition well due for a revival, wouldn't you say?
Especially since we've had a huge influx of great and talented authors into the fandom, since then.
So, we worked back through the boards and made up a list of candidates (70!) and we tweaked and updated the interview form.
Here are the current questions:
How long have you been watching/how did you become interested in L&C?
How long have you been a fan of/enjoyed other versions of the Superman myth?
How long have you been writing? Have you written for other fandoms? Other genres?
How long have you been writing L&C fanfic?
Which genres of fanfic have you written?
What's your most recent story?
What's your personal favourite of the stories you have written? And why?
Give us a peek into your current Works In Progress?
Personal picks of other fanfics you have read?
What attracted you to writing fanfic and what about it do you enjoy?
What is it about L&C universe/characters that you enjoy exploring the most?
How do you interpret them in your work?
How did you begin writing in general?
What is your opinion about the following LNC fanfic genres:
Action?
Drama?
Humor?
Round Robin/Co-Authored?
Nfic?
Has *everything* been done in your opinion, and if not, what is left?
What do you think makes the best story?
Where is the best place for a reader to locate your work?
Open Forum For General Comments
Now, here's where you readers come in. We're looking for suggestions for other questions to add to these. Is there something you've always wanted to ask your favourite authors? Now's your chance!
We should note that we can't guarantee we'll use all suggestions made. Obviously, we don't want the interview form to become so long or deep that we frighten off authors! <g> But we'll see how many we get and take it from there.
So...over to you! Remember to keep your suggestions general and not specific to any particular author and try to phrase them as concisely as possible for the purposes of the interview form.
