Before I start promoting this one, there's two things I need to clarify. First, Staz Johnson and I are still just working out a date and time, though he's basically agreed to an interview. (He's a bit of a technophobe, so it might be an unrecorded phone conversation, and I'll just have to paraphrase what is said, I guess.) Second, there's this: "An interview sounds ok... so long as it's not just about Heroes, because I really know nothing about the show or the stories at all... Most of the scripts were incomprehensible to me, since they were written by & (I presume) for people who were familiar with the show... sometimes I felt nothing short of the Rosetta Stone would be needed to decipher them. And although the pay was good, & I have been asked to do more, I'm hoping to be kept busy with 'real' comics work (for DC Comics, among others) so I don't need to do more of what was not an enjoyable experience for me." Mm-kay. So if people submit questions, they'll really have to be about him and about his process, and not so much about the details of the show or the intricacies of the script. Sound okay to everyone? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:30, 15 August 2007 (EDT)

  • 9/4 is the tentative date for this one. Questions go below. Don't worry about his concerns--they're not as grave as I imagined. Any questions that aren't well-suited to him I'll just gloss over. Go ahead an ask whatever questions you want below. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:21, 22 August 2007 (EDT)
    • Moved tentatively to 9/7. I'm not sure this one is going to hold up. Staz can be a bit..."fluid" with his appointments. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:43, 4 September 2007 (EDT)
      • I just got an email back from Staz. I suggested Thursday afternoon, 9/13. I hope to hear back from him before then. Again, if it works out, great. But I'm not quite counting my chickens yet. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:45, 10 September 2007 (EDT)
        • He said that'll be fine. Keep your fingers crossed for Thursday afternoon! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:27, 11 September 2007 (EDT)
          • Didn't pan out. I waited on the phone for about 20 minutes with no luck. Incidentally, then I popped a pain pill, fell asleep, and had a dream that he was a doctor working at a local hospital and would visit his patients via rollerskates....Vicodin is a funny thing. :) Anyway, I emailed him and I'll see if we can reschedule. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:17, 13 September 2007 (EDT)
            • House, I didn't know you were into Heroes. --DocM 17:48, 13 September 2007 (EDT)
              • Cute. I was actually telling my wife that I know understand his addiction a bit more, because those lil' pills make ya feel sooo goooood..... -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:54, 13 September 2007 (EDT)
                • One small pill for man, one giant gulp for mankind. --DocM 17:55, 13 September 2007 (EDT)
            • Staz emailed me and apologized for forgetting. We're going to do an email interview instead. I'll probably send it off in the next 24 hours, so if there are any questions you'd like me to ask, go ahead and ask them below. It's tough to read Staz (he's a bit picky on some of the questions he'll answer), but I'll see if I can fit any questions y'all might have into the list. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:12, 13 September 2007 (EDT)

Interview Questions

  • In 'It Takes A Village', besides Guillame and the Haitian, were any of the other villagers supposed to be identifiable?--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:43, 22 August 2007 (EDT)

    • Actually, we were originally going to schedule it that day. He told me that he's going away with his family that week for his birthday--that's actually why I edited the article. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:17, 23 August 2007 (EDT)
