I think that one of the most interesting and enjoyable things about this site is the author interviews.

Regardless of whether I actually like the work of the writers featured, I find the interviews themself facinanting.

Good work, guys!

But...

As anyone who's read some of my posts will no doubt know, I'm not a big fan of commercial fantasy or RPG spin-offs. I seem to spend most of my posts here trying to convince people to have a rest from Goodkind, Eddings, Jordan, Brooks etc. and try reading something that's a little more original !

It would be nice if the site featured interviews with some of the more cutting edge (or just plain intresting) authors out there. I'm thinking of people like China Mieville, Mary Gentle, Michael Swanwick, Matthew Stover, and Michael Moorcock.

I realise that it can't be easy to secure interviews (and occasionally you do interview the kind of authors that I'm most interesting in) but I really would like to see more of a balance on the site between the different types of fantasy that are available. :

Well, I must confess that I haven't prioritised the interview section much the last year, simply a matter of available time. So, lately it has mostly been FitzFlagg that has kept the interview section alive with some great interviews.

I actually have a list of 60-80 authors that have asked to be interviewed, these are more unknown authors, but I'm quite sure they can lead to some pretty interesting interviews anyway. Well, if anyone is interested in joining the staff to do interviews please let me know, we could certainly need the help.

I don't think getting in touch with the more known authors to arrange interviews would be very difficult either, but as I said, for me it's more a matter of having the time to do the actual interviews. So once again, if anyone is interested in helping out...

I've been in contact with Stover, but the only reason I hesitate to interview him is he did a superb interview with SFSite about a year ago that covered most of the bases.

Thanks to both of you for the Kudos!
