Mutant Interviews

[Tim Tawfeek]

Right, so I've been attempting to get some stuff together for Tim to do some interviews of various mutants. I'd really like to go through with this, especially because we may even be able to use it in some wider concept. It could be useful for future plot or advertising or something.

Basically, I'd like to set it up so that it's like one of those interview vids you see on YouTube, or even better, a handful of vids around various subjects. But in order to do that, I need to get some people who are willing. I figure that what we'll probably do is set things up. We could potentially thread it out, but it's probably best if we actually use IC chatbox, either via Chatango PM or some other method, just to make it smooth and freeflowing.

But if anyone's interested, let me know here so we can keep track.

(and yes, Robbo, I know that Jack's still signed on; a few people are sort of already included)

[Drew Conner]

You can take your pick of Drew, Alex, and/or Spence to your list. Any combination of (or all three) would be willing participants.

[Selina Taylor]

Selina would be a willing participant.

[Ellis Vaccari]

I'm up for Ellis and/or Vesper to be interviewed, if you're keen for either/both of them!

[Farah Malikah]

If you're interested, I can also offer Vera, or Jade, or Farah.

[François Laffont]

I can offer Franck and Jason if you want them.

[Mel *]

As always; all my charries are at your disposal. But you knew that already.

[Tim Tawfeek]

Right, so that's about a dozen more responses than I expected.

More seriously though: I'm thinking that the easiest way for us to do this without tearing hear out would be for me to put together a basic PM and send it out to each of you via site PM. It'll have some standard questions, and we'll work as though Tim asked those of you IC. There will likely then be some followups.

I'd like to stick to PM just to keep it somewhat hidden, but I'm willing to potentially do it via the email board if you'd all like to have it out. Having it hidden means that I can mimic having Tim interview each of your chars in private, and then "edit" the video together for a final post(s) for you all.

I'm open to other suggestions though. I seriously was expecting, like, two or three chars to sign up, not, like, all of them.

*dusts off*

ALRIGHT.

So I totally haven't forgotten this, and to prove it, I've gone through and written up some questions. I'll put the general questions up here so that everyone can see them, partially to give you an idea of what everyone's being asked and partially to get some feedback. Then, this weekend *fingers crossed* (that would be the weekend of May 1-3) I'll send the PMs out to everyone who's signed up (or talk to some of you who are like "ALL THE CHARS"). You'll definitely have some time to do it, so no rush. I probly won't finish it up for a loooong time, since I don't see these coming in before I take off for camp for the summer and I don't know the internet situation.

Anyway, questions:



"If you could please state your name and occupation for the camera?"



"And is there anything else you'd like to add?"


"okay, now if you could say 'and I'm a mutant,' that would be awesome."



"And what you can do? Either in your own words or science terms or however you want to say it."


"Let's start in the beginning, if that's cool with you. What was your manifestation like? Like, give me one word that really sums it up."


"How was it for you?"


"How did your family react?"


"Do you still talk with your family?"



"Do you feel any different now? If so, why?"



"Do you think you're still human?"


"Do you feel like a mutant?"



"What do you think of the whole idea that we need to be controlled?"


"Are you scared of yourself sometimes? Moreso than 'normal'?"


"Can you describe one interaction you've had where being a mutant mattered?"


"Do you think it matters?"


"Okay, you've been great. Is there anything else you wanted to say?

[Tim Tawfeek]

Giving this something of a bump, since I'll be sending out the PMs shortly (I haven't forgotten). If anyone else is interested or has any suggestions, now would be a great time to let me know. Otherwise it's gonna be launched away.

[Tim Tawfeek]

So this has only taken me 4 months to get around and get to; that's about right, yes?

Anyway, I've sent the questions out to the following accounts/characters (You'll note that some of you didn't ask; it comes from being Tim's friend and therefore someone he'd likely rope into it). As it says in the PM: try to get the message back to me within the next few weeks or so, though I can probably take a late one or two.

The following chars got the PM:

Drew Conner , Alexandra Lawson , Selina Taylor , Jason Campbell , François Laffont , Erin Hackett , Jack McCarthy , Karsen Ford , Jade D. Gawron Oneyka A. Duffuor , Vera M. Solway , Vesper Bae , Frank "Sunny" Laffont , Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe , Elsa Bellefonte , Demi Smith , Erika Conner (Bellefonte), Luxanna Viera , Lucy James , Maya Starr , Beth Young
