Interview talk:Chuck Kim

Possible interview

Chuck Kim is checking with the WGA on whether or not it's okay for him to answer questions during the strike. In the meantime, I don't think it would hurt to submit some questions for Chuck. To remind people, Chuck wrote , .07%, and Sword Saint. Post questions below. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 06:41, 2 January 2008 (EST)

Questions for Chuck

• Which novel was your favourite to write? --DocM 09:44, 2 January 2008 (EST)
• How did you feel when you wrote .07% after writing several graphic novels? --DocM 09:44, 2 January 2008 (EST)
• Is the eleventh wife foreshadowing or symbolic? (I call dibs) --DocM 09:44, 2 January 2008 (EST)
  • (I'd suggest rewording this one to make the question more explicit like: Is the eleventh bride Adam refers to at the end of the novel his current bride or a bride he hopes to find in the future?) (Admin 13:41, 2 January 2008 (EST))
  • Good idea, but I'd suggest something like: Is the eleventh bride Adam refers to at the end of The Ten Brides of Takezo Kensei his current bride, someone he knows whom he hopes to marry, or someone he's never met but hopes to meet in the future?--MiamiVolts (talk) 15:06, 2 January 2008 (EST)
    • That sounds even better. (Admin 15:35, 2 January 2008 (EST))
• The Trial of the Black Bear diverges from the style used on most of the other graphic novels. Why the manga style?
• In Elle's First Assignment, Elle was written into storylines from Genesis and the beginning of Season One. At what point was the character of Elle created? Will there be other characters who will fit in with previous stories?
• You wrote about a new power in Normal Lives. How did you go about creating Marcus's power?
• The Ten Brides of Takezo Kensei easily has the most new characters of any graphic novel, with at least ten new people introduced to us. Each one of Kensei's brides seems unique, not only to the time period to which she belongs, but also different from the other women. (In fact it makes it quite difficult to figure out a "type" of woman Adam is attracted to.) How did you decide on each character? What kind of research did you do for all the different time periods and locations mentioned in that novel?
• In the Sword Saint documentary, one of the trials you introduced was the Snake Women, two female assassins said to be half-snake. Have you considered writing a graphic novel or episode segment about their story? It would be interesting way to know or get confirmation that there were other evolved humans around at the time Hiro first met Takezo Kensei.--MiamiVolts (talk) 13:30, 2 January 2008 (EST)
