INTERACTION

I think it'd be good to run more stuff on the website in conjunction with new issues of the magazines. Say, an interview with one of the contributors, that could perhaps even be audio or video, or include such things.

If you have any suggestions of your own, please list them here.

Also, especially as everybody at TTA Towers has more than enough to do, is this something that you'd be interested in running?

I'm always interested to know the story behind the story so interviews sound like a cool addition.

One thing we did at the old Whispers of Wickedness website that seemed to be popular was 'round robin' interviews, with contributors to an issue putting questions to each other.

Using the current BS as an example, Nina would put a question to Ray about his story, Ray would put a question to Renee, and so on until you got to Baph, who'd put a question to Nina.

The problem I foresee is people not wanting to take part. With WoW we had ten or so contributors per issue, so if a couple opted out it didn't really matter, but with the five or six in BS/IZ I think it would only be workable if everyone agreed to take part.

Great idea. I'd be particularly interested to hear how the artists come up with their final designs, too.

All excellent suggestions, thank you. We need now to find a volunteer. It'll be fun, honest.

is there a staff discount scheme?

Drafts of artists work would be great to see. Maybe showing how the cover came together. And I still think getting the podcast going again would be great.

Or what about a kind of live Q&A session with one or more of the authors of the issue, set aside an hour or so to answer questions here. I could even -- after my project/exam on the 5th of Oct -- look into adding a chat function, I know that it is something that is available already within the framework.
