Here in this thread I will be conducting interviews on a weekly basis with the different writers on this site and sometimes their characters. It will be weekly just like the GCA Analysis Reports though maybe more erratic depending on who is willing to let me interview them.

Every other week I will be interviewing a role player on the forum that is considered part of the Arena community. For the weeks I am not interviewing a role player, I will be interviewing someone's character for a bit of IC fun. Each I hope will be informative and insightful in their own ways.

So from the looks of it the interview with Drifting Pollen did very well. Pollen was wonderful and I am very glad to have gotten to interview them for this project. Now that we are on our second interview its going to be a little different from the last, which I hope will mean good.

It has been suggested to me that I try to approach my interviews in a more conversational manner instead of just rattling off questions to the person I am interviewing. So as the next interview is going to be an IC one, I am going to try this out with my character Ember of Hate interviewing another character in that style. Doing this has its advantages and disadvantages, the worst of which being that I won't be able to release interviews at the same time as my reviews. Now if enough people like it this way though, I won't mind putting in the extra effort to bring more quality work to everybody.

Now to properly gauge how the public feels about this, I would like for everyone that reads the next interview to let me know how they feel about it. Basically it'll go like this.

Click Like if you enjoyed it but you want it for IC interviews only.

Click Thanks if you enjoyed it and want me to use this style for ALL my interviews.

Click the Laugh emoticon if you want me to keep using the other style of interviewing I’ve been doing.

If I don't get any reactions at all well I suppose I’ll just go back to my old style of interviewing then. Since this is the more interactive side of the GCA I wanted to figure out a way that everyone could get their voice heard without me getting so many messages on what you all feel about my work. Of course I won't discourage you sending me a message saying how you feel, this is more of a suggestion to keep it all simple and organized. The main goal of the GCA is to make the Arena Board a fun and interactive place for a large audience of people, which requires everyone working together a little bit to try and make this work.

Hopefully I will be able to get this out on the twenty-sixth, but it all depends on a few factors not really in my control. As always I am hoping this will give some flavor to the GCA and show that its not all super serious analysis and all. So I will be hitting up potential candidates for interviewing and we’ll see what happens.
