New Questions for SRD-What Would You Like to be asked in NM?

Post by duchess of malfi »

For those who have not read through the big Elohimfest thread, it appears as if there might be a chance to ask SRD questions next June in Albuquerque... 8)

And as Damelon said:
In light of this, we should be thinking of questions for the interview that will help SRD along in gearing up for the release of his book.
So I was wondering if anyone who will not be able to attend Elohimfest might have any questions they would like us to ask him, if we get the chance?

Please ask them here...

obviously we cannot guarantee yours (or anyone's) will be asked...but we can try if we get a chance. 8)
Love as thou wilt.

Well....I will be there, but I'll either forget completely or get too flustered to ask..... :oops: :oops: :roll:


So.....

Is there any hope for an audio version of the Chrons? Or The Gap? or any of SRD's works?
Who are his own favorite authors?

:D

Courage all, courage. :)

Lets not all act like we're giving a peanut to an elephant. :)

My thoughts were that we could either ask SRD what kinds of questions he would like, or compile a list and run it by him to see what he would like to answer. If the purpose is to link the Q&A session to the website, it would make sense for there to be some script to it so he comes off looking good. Afterall, we want to help him with his project.

Not overly detailed questions about the Chronicles that someone new to them would not know the answer, but questions about his writing style, where he gets his inspiration, etc. Not tough, but not softball questions either. We want to rev up interest in the new book!

Sounds good. Maybe when people have compiled enough questions, we can ask Danlo to run them by SRD so he can get ready for his web interview.

Things I'll ask him if I get the chance:

"Do you ever lurk at the Watch? :D I do NOT want to know what you think of it, I'm just wondering if you ever peek in."

"If it will not spoil the Last Chrons, was Kevin's despair a mad one that drove him to desecration, as was the case with Trell? Or was it just the horror of knowing that this abominable act was truly the only way to prevent Foul from having a free hand to torture the Land forever?"

"In light of quotes like, 'Come Unbeliever. Do not prolong this unpleasantness. You know that you cannot stand against me. In my own name I am wholly your superior. And I possess the Illearth Stone.' and 'When the Despiser was powerful enough to give them strength, they enslaved creatures or people by entering into their bodies, subduing their wills, and using the captured flesh to enact their master's purposes.' can you give us any specifics about Foul's powers/abilities?"

Excellent approach, Damelon. And I like the idea of giving him the questions first, so he can organize his thoughts beforehand and present them well.

My questions are likely to be about his new techniques, so I wouldn't know what to ask him until I had read the new book. :(

I know I'm not going to be able to ask anything. I'm going to turn into a stuttering imbecile at the sight of him. :?
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.

~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~

...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

Damn good question!

My question would be: Is there any correlation b/w the onset of leprosy in Covenant to the enacting of the Ritual of Desecration?

I can picture it now...Fist stands and asks his question. Without hesitation Stephen responds that not only does he lurk but that he posts regularly and his screen name is.....

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Oh no!! What manner of evil is this? NO! It cannot be. ( I think I'd be suitably suprised. ) :-)

I too would love to be able to listen to it read by an outstanding Orator,
and have <his intended pronunciation> verbally expelled.

We should stick this thread at the top of the forum.

Imo, Thomin broke his Vow outside Doom's Retreat, and acted extremely unlike a Bloodguard. I think it's not an accident that there were no survivors to tell this tale of Thomin and Lord Verement. Who failed and why?

Why is Vain the only ur-Vile with eyes? Why does he need them? Why and how did they figure out how to make him that way, when they
hated their unseen eyelessness
