Last call for interview questions...

I'm going to open the floor to questions for my interview in the [livejournal.com profile] simstorytellers Storytellers Spotlight one last time, which I'll be posting tonight (at the eleventh hour, because I'm a deadline pusher like that). Please post your questions in the comments, or here in the announcement post. Serious, silly, or completely trivial, I will answer them all.

Cheers!

It's sad you have no questions on either of those...

I'm sure this has been asked before, but how do you take your pictures?

How much of the story do you allow to be guided by the sims themselves (their wants etc)?

And will you be my friend? :P

Hee, I thought it was already too late to leave you a question!

All right...

- Are you going to get Sims 3 when it comes out? Would you try to recreate your sims and continue your story with it? (I have no idea if that's even possible, though).

- Do you already have in mind how are you going to finish the story? Or at least how long it's going to be?

- Did you plan to include the Pleasantview and Veronaville characters since the beginning? Or were you going to focus only on the Strangetown sims at first? (Personally, I love this change :D).

- I know you've always liked Ripp and Nervous, but is there another character you've grown fond of since you've been writing this story? Someone you never thought about before?

And I think all the other questions I had in mind are already answered in the "regular interview" :).

I'm looking forward to your interview! Have fun!

I honestly have thought of asking questions, but either they're already asked in the offical questionaire or someone else has asked them... or I've already asked you and you answered. :P

So...

If you where stranded on an island which of your characters, if they were real, would you like to be your company?

Is there any part/event of your story that you regret doing a certain way? Like, a hookup, a death, a fight, a chance meeting, whatever, that lead to a series of events that you wish you could change?

How's that for ya? :D

How much do you find you have to alter or subvert the game (hacks, clones, exit w/o saving until 'right' Groundhog Day-style) in order to tell your story? And does this still feel like 'playing' or more like the process of writing, painting etc?

When you first started out with this story, did you feel intimidated by all the legacies and the obsession with custom content, default face replacements, and anti-maxis attitude had by quite a few players? If so, what did you do to keep up your gumption and see it through?

I've got a question :]
How long did you work out the story in your mind (and on paper) before you even got started working on it in game?
Does that makes sense? :P

Lots of questions. Sorry it's late.

What inspired you to designate the aliens of Strangetown vegetarian? Was this inspired by the Vulcan diet, or something else? Is Ophelia also vegetarian? How does Johnny cope with meat in the house?

(I'm a vegetarian, and found it very difficult to date non vegetarians when I was single. It's nice to see vegetarians featured in ts2 stories).

Also, who is your least favorite character to work with in the story?

Finally, do you use any posing hacks, or movie making boxes?

Can't wait to read your interview.

Is it up? I'm not sure if I'm navigating the site correctly.
