New Interview

Hey all! I am going to be interviewing Tom Inkle, who is credited as the iStory writer. I'm not sure how many writers there are altogether, but NBC has put me in touch with Tom. So, any questions you have the the iStory, feel free to submit them below. Tentatively, the questions will be sent on Monday, March 23. More information to come, I'm sure. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:28, 19 March 2009 (EDT)

  • Should we assume Tom was involved in writing all three volumes or just "The Agent"?--MiamiVolts (talk) 21:03, 19 March 2009 (EDT)
    • No idea. I've already asked Joe Tolerico. He called Tom "the iStory writer", but we know that others have contributed. I would stick to questions that focus on "The Agent"...but if there are any questions about previous chapters, I don't see the harm in posting them. Maybe in a different section, but only if there are really any burning questions... -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:31, 19 March 2009 (EDT)
    • I confirmed it was all three volumes. (Admin 22:38, 19 March 2009 (EDT))
      • Awesome. You da man, Admin. So everybody should feel free to add any questions about any of the iStory content. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:44, 19 March 2009 (EDT)
        • Sorry it took so long to get this interview rolling. I talked to NBC about it a week or two ago, I've just been too busy and haven't had the chance to setup the interview page and all so I asked them to just contact you directly since you do this enough that you probably have the whole thing down. :) (Admin 22:57, 19 March 2009 (EDT))
          • That works--thanks, Admin! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:41, 19 March 2009 (EDT)
            • Thanks for confirming that, Admin! It's great to finally have the chance to learn some more about this process.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:35, 22 March 2009 (EDT)
            • I've searched around the internet for some background on Tom Inkle, but I can't find any so I added my suggested questions the best I could. Good luck with the interview, Ryan (and please don't forget to ask for a photo). :)--MiamiVolts (talk) 00:56, 23 March 2009 (EDT)
  • Have you already heard back from Tom? I'm wondering if this photo might be a picture of him...--MiamiVolts (talk) 22:12, 29 March 2009 (EDT)
    • No, I haven't heard back from Tom. Believe me, when I do, I'll post the interview within an hour of checking the email. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:34, 29 March 2009 (EDT)

Questions about the iStory

  • In The Agent, Chapter 5, Rachel's story matches the events of Exposed very closely. Toward the end of both "Operation" iStories, there are 14 different endings, yet most do not make sense for the segueway into Red Eye, Part 1. Do you and the other writers have a specific pathway and ending to the stories? I liked what was done with The Agent, Chapter 5 where Rachel goes, "That's what could have happened, but what actually happened was..." --Heroes360 23:14, 19 March 2009 (EDT)
  • Who does the art for the character portraits in iStory? --Radicell 07:29, 20 March 2009 (EDT)
  • the character jason... he really dies in the istory, in the canon?--Manwithnoname 08:31, 20 March 2009 (EDT)
  • when they refer to the old contacts of evs dropper, u mean the players who interacted with him or the real characters who were sided with evs?--Manwithnoname 08:31, 20 March 2009 (EDT)
  • will these storylines ever be touched in the tv series?--Manwithnoname 08:31, 20 March 2009 (EDT)
  • will we ever see ricardo silva again? by the way what is his nationality?--Manwithnoname 08:31, 20 March 2009 (EDT)
  • did u ever think of wirting a heroes episode? if you did, u enjoyed it?--Manwithnoname 08:31, 20 March 2009 (EDT)
  • Is Anna's power the same as the Haitian's, or something different? Please be as definitive as possible. --Yamawhata? 00:02, 21 March 2009 (EDT)
  • Could Rachel one day be able to access an ability that more closely resembles Hiro's? Or is it a different power altogether?--Laudo
  • What did you use for inspiration for that dream sequence chapter?--Tarot 04:04, 22 March 2009 (EDT)
  • the hacker volts who is he? how does rachel know him?--Zoga78 04:10, 22 March 2009 (EDT)
  • Rachel's role in events throughout the iStory as well as the graphic novels has differed substantially from how non-readers see her on-screen. Assuming she eventually comes out on the show as a special, will there be any on-screen development leading up to that? Or will it just appear (to those who don't view the secondary sources) as an abrupt, unexplained change? -- Shade 17:23, 22 March 2009 (EDT)
  • How much interaction do you have with the show's producers and the graphic novel writers? To what extent do the three Heroes mediums mesh together, and to what extent do they exist separately? -- Shade 17:32, 22 March 2009 (EDT)
  • Are we likely to see more characters, such as Anna, or Janey, that have so far only existed offscreen on the show? -- Shade 17:32, 22 March 2009 (EDT)
  • Are there any other choose-your-adventure type stories you have written that we might be able to read? What are some of your other works? Do you also work on designing the iStory and Heroes Evolutions websites? Have you done any other work for Heroes?
  • Can you describe your writing process for making the iStory? Do you draft it by yourself? Is it difficult to think up so many "what-ifs" for ending the story? To what extent did Harrison Wilcox help you with writing the "Friend or Foe" volume? Should he be credited as co-writer? Is there a separate production company/producer for the iStory like there is for the graphic novels?
  • In "The Private", the story started having polling for participants to decide how the story moves forward. Would Rachel's story in "The Agent" be different if the audience had voted a different way in "The Private"? If yes, how so?
  • Also, regarding "The Private", would you say that the blue girl in the Biological Warefare facility in Iran had a form of Daphne's super speed? Did the man slowly bending the cage bars have a defective version of enhanced strength like Mohinder did?
  • In "Friend or Foe", do you know who portrayed the character of Ricardo Silva for the video that accompanied the story?
  • Can you tell us about where you were born and grew up, and how you got interested in writing?
