Anthology Party Interviews

Podcast: 

Helloooo YWP.

Those who went to the anthology party may remember me waving around a scary-looking black-and-silver device. That was a fancy Edirol recorder from gg. I was to interview YWP-ers about YWP. Only three of you agreed to be interviewed, however. Thank you Magzdoodle, Qwertygirl, and Geist. If I’d known I wouldn’t be able to talk to anyone else, I would have tortured you with YWP questions longer.

I spent about ten minutes this evening editing the three brief interviews into a slightly less brief podcast. I have also learned my lesson: to be a successful journalist, I need to be more pushy. Beware!

And thanks to all who participate and strengthen this site with your energy and creativity and spirit.

Thank you all, for such a

Thank you all, for such a warm vote of confidence.

This really was cool to listen to, and to catch the similarities between the different answers was especially intriguing. Interviewing people should be more common on here.

Geist--

Your handwriting does suck. I'm not gonna deny it.

Oh yeah...I knew I was

Oh yeah...I knew I was making fun of someone's handwriting that day.

I guarantee my handwriting

I guarantee my handwriting is worse, Geist don't feel bad, I too have horrible fine motor skills.

Geist's picture

No, no, you don't

No, no, you don't understand.

People who dare attempt to read this villainous chicken scratch have had their eyes shrivel up, break down into basic elements, liquefy, and melt away. Then, once the colorful puddles of retinal goo have gathered in the bottom of the cavernous holes that were once their eye sockets, the seemingly harmless substance spontaneously explodes into blue flame like napalm, enshrouding the reader in a blanket of pure misery and third-degree burns.

I'm not kidding.

That's freaking scary. Have you any witnesses?

Usagi's picture

None but he.

None but he. The rest are ashes.

Gee, I always *did* wonder

Gee, I always *did* wonder how Aunt Zeda disappeared! All they found was liquified goo, and scraps of paper...

Thank you Usagi, for taking

Thank you Usagi, for taking the time to interview people. But, you really must be pushy more.

My favorite part was how Magzdoodle and Qwertygirl both called YWP an "escape".

Either that, or "because.. my handwriting sucks."
And, a question for Usagi, (or anyone who was interviewed)

Did you interview everyone altogether at once, or did you interview them separately?

Seperately...
the other people I was hanging out with *Glares at EE, Civ, Pepper, and anyone else who was standing with me* refused to be interviewed.
