seb: it's with tom now

He’s formatting it for inclusion on Barbelith.

So, while it’s all wrapped up and ready to roll, unfortunately you’ll have to wait tom puts it online.

This’ll probably be fri/sat.

It’s a big text. About 22 thousand words, so Tom’s got a fair bit of work to do.

Im sorry about the wait everybody.

22,000 wurdz! fan-fucking-tastic!

I'm pissing man-juice in anticipation.

Well done, yer maw, yawn. The age crack I apologise for, again. 30's not that old.

Looking forward to reading this when it's posted up here! (Will it be in this thread or on The Bomb? Or the Webzine here at Barbelith?) Thanks much!

God - this is so fucking intimidating. What a huge piece of work. God knows how I'm going to assemble something to do all of it justice... Er....

I just hope all the crucial questions get answered - like if he's going to reform The Doors or not. He owes it to the fans!!!

11:08 / 25.11.02

Oh Gawd, I can't believe I came to this forum only looking for this interview.

Sebastian

13:49 / 26.11.02

Uhmm, just don't tell me we'll hit another weekend without it.

The Natural Way

14:05 / 26.11.02

Seb, 22000 words is fucking HUGE.

Patience.

Can't you split it up into two or three parts... give us a section of it a week?

Tom Coates

15:42 / 26.11.02

I'm really sorry about the delay guys... I'll try and get at least one part of it up by the end of the week. I've formatted quite a lot of it already, but I have to decide where the best place to stick it online might be as well....

Sebastian

You can place a banner linked to the zine like it was done with the movie last weeks.

23:50 / 26.11.02

Fuck. Send me the goddamned interview and ill post the motherfucker as a topic. Sloppy, but maybe we can get it up before any talk on world affairs or current comics in the interview become dated.

The Falcon

02:01 / 27.11.02

I'm jist aboot puking with desire to see this.

It's making me edgy and unpleasant. Hurry please!

yawn - thing's buddy

06:21 / 27.11.02

hey guys - its by no means definitive, it's mainly 22000 words talking about telly.

yawn - thing's buddy

06:22 / 27.11.02

but the bits about this place are good.

oh yeah and......

ha ha

ONLY NICE THINGS

07:30 / 27.11.02

22000 words? Pad it out a bit, stick in some descriptive narrative, put in a subplot about a stolen car and put it in the NaNoWriMo thread, maybe....

Sebastian

11:28 / 27.11.02

Actually, we want the two versions, the full transcript and the edited.

We also want the taped interview so we can go to sleep while listening to it, and in waking to start imitating and faking his voice. Then we will all repopulate the planet with GM meme-plexes. I'll shave ma head tonight.

That's not a bad idea... microsite... then it shouldn't be too hard to lay out the page?

yawn - thing's buddy

11:53 / 27.11.02

it IS a full transcript.

Hardcore innit. none o' yer poncey health and efficiency guff for us!

Sebastian

13:10 / 27.11.02

(Yawn...)

I still can be that obnoxious lil'brat, can't I?

Sebastian

18:58 / 29.11.02

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWLLLLL...

19:26 / 29.11.02

Down boy!
It'll be done when it's done. No annoying Tom.

some guy

19:53 / 29.11.02

Instead of two weeks "formatting" it, why not just spend two minutes setting it up as a downloadable PDF? Morrison's interviews tend to be very topical, so I can understand the impatience here...

Spatula Clarke

23:21 / 29.11.02

Alternatively, we could say cheers to Tom for bothering to do it at all.

Odd idea, I know.

And yawn, natch.

I'm getting there. It's very long - frankly I wish it was slightly edited as it's quite dense and hard to read and it is very very long, but it's about 2/3rds complete and I'll have it live and connected for everyone no later than midnight tomorrow (hopefully before 1am today, but that depends on whether or not I'm able to really throw myself into it)...

The Falcon

22:14 / 01.12.02

oooooooooooooo.

Can everyone promise not to post here until it's done? The excitement, shortly followed by disappointment, is too much for me.

Thanks yawn, thanks Tom.

yawn - thing's buddy

06:54 / 03.12.02

Tom (and everyone else) - it IS very long and it is in it's raw state because Mr. Morrison and myself both thought it was better like that. It should accurately reflect 'conversation' rather than a Questions and Answer section. (crikey - we've even got the original'canned' laughter included)

I ran over it a good few times and so did GM - it's in it's approved form.

Let the people decide
