Sim Storytellers Interview

[strangetomato]

Well, it seems my name has come up for the Storytellers Spotlight at simstorytellers this week. For those who aren't members of the SST community, you can check out the past interviews here. I will be answering the 30 standard interview questions, and I'll also be opening the floor to questions from readers of my story, as others have before me. If you're curious about something relating to my story or the telling of it, you can leave your questions in the comments here, or in the announcement post. Fire away at me with your burning questions (but not your burning bags of dog poo, please).

So... yeah. *deep breath* Let's do this. It'll be fun.

(not a interview related question)

So you drew your own name or are you the end of the list? I hope it was a draw. The thought of being at the end of the list is kind of sad.

No, I drew my name. I've been on the list since that post where we decided to add the mods.

There are about 5-6 others left, I think, but it is time to look for other volunteers. I know there are a number of other active storytellers that are not on the list, so I'm probably going to start recruiting them soon. I wish the newer storytellers were less reluctant to do it.

It's not that I'm reluctant... Hell, I'd love to write an interview. It's just that I don't feel like I have anything to show, story-wise. I've seen all these experienced storytellers being featured and I feel so inferior to them. Besides, I never have any idea when I will finish an update. :/

I don't know what you're talking about. I have you on the list. :P

I totally understand what you're saying. I'm not really very experienced either. I haven't even been doing this for a whole year yet, though I do have a decent amount of chapters out there, since I was really cranking them out for a while (sadly, those days seem to be over... but I might get my groove back, eventually).

Anyway, my point is that you don't need to be that experienced to talk about your sim storytelling. It's just your opinions on how you like to work and all that. You just need to have done something, and you have.

Can we nominate people to be in the storyteller spotlight? I have a few story writers in mind! :D

Of course! I'll add them to my list of people to contact about it.
