Barbe-interview, Week 6

Matthew Fluxington

23:37 / 10.10.02

I guess we should take it as a given that Flyboy won Week 5 already, after Jack won Week 4.

So, who shall be the next for the inquisition?

Seth

23:56 / 10.10.02

Cheers, Flux. I've been away from a PC for too long to start this thread. You are my sunshine.

Looks like someone already started one...

Me? I nominate Cholister.

Matthew Fluxington

00:22 / 11.10.02

Thanks, exp.

I nominate Jack Fear.

Questions for Mr. Fear:

* How did you come to be a published writer? How did you get your first big writing gig?

* Could you explain what it is about Warren Ellis that you like so much? It's not his fiction writing, is it?

* Do you amp up your grumpiness for effect, or are you normally just speaking your mind as it is?

* You've been on Barbelith and its earlier incarnations since the beginning. What do you think are the biggest improvements in the community? What do you wish you could have back?

The Natural Way

This week, I also nominate Jack.

And I will think of questions as I input progammes.

Regrettable Juvenilia

11:01 / 11.10.02

So wait, am I starting to answer questions on Monday (which is technically week 6, cuz weeks 4 & 5 got mixed up)? And this thread is to vote for who goes after that? I don't mind doing it this way, but equally if there was an outcry I'd obviously let people vote again... Meantime, are further questions for Monday to be placed in the thread in which Jack & I battled it out, or here?

So many questions... I have questions, too, questions for Jack Fear, who I nominate, and my first question is:

What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of discussing work-in-progress on the internet? How do you think this practice affects comics as we know 'them', if at all?

Jack Fear

12:50 / 11.10.02

Huh? Wha--? You what?

Um. Okay. I'm game if y'all are...

grant

14:07 / 11.10.02

I think Flyboy's up next, followed by...

Jack Fear:

Are you my mother?

What's the sexiest comic book scene - story, tableau, or single panel - you've ever seen?

Is it embarrassing to you to be able to answer that question?

What would your parish priest think of Barbelith? The lead singers in the choir?

You wanna maybe get together some time?

rizla mission

14:32 / 11.10.02

I'm in a random question asking kind of mood, so, for Jack;

What constitutes good rock n' roll?

psychoanalysis - accepted science, useful tool, dubious at best or complete arse?

What's your nomination for the finest sit-com of the television era?

What's your favourite colour?

Is world stability deteriorating? If so, will we see the collapse of the current world order within our lifetimes?

Clever people being knowingly dumb for comic effect - clever or dumb?

As a system of belief, is science truly as rational and universal as it claims to be?

What were the last three things you paid money for?

If you find these questions silly and/or refuse to answer them, could you explain why?

Saveloy

15:13 / 11.10.02

Cuh, this is fixed, right? Well, I'm voting for Lyra. My first question for now is:

1. The People Who Control Everything decide they've had enough, and figure that Lyra Lovelaces couldn't do any worse a job than they have, so they pin the boss badge on you and fuck off to the moon. How do you re-organise the world? How do you want it to end up? What are your main aims? Once you've achieved these basic aims, what interesting little extras do you plan, if any?

20:16 / 11.10.02

Three nominations and its decided?

Jack The Bodiless

21:31 / 11.10.02

I can't decide between Jack Fear and Lyra Lovelaces... I want to hear from them both.

Jack Fear is the coolest motherfucker... but Lyra is the coolest muthafuckah... gimme a second.

Seth

21:39 / 11.10.02

So wait, am I starting to answer questions on Monday (which is technically week 6, cuz weeks 4 & 5 got mixed up)? And this thread is to vote for who goes after that?

Yep, Fly - you're next, starting Monday. I'll collect up your questions and PM them Sunday. This will be for the person who is interviwed the Monday after that.

Jack Fear

11:55 / 12.10.02

Three nominations and its decided?

Well, no.

I was just indicating that if I were in fact selected that I would not refuse to participate.

Which I might have done.

And perhaps should have done.

Jack The Bodiless

13:42 / 15.10.02

Oh, yes. The Fear begins Here.
