STN Interview Series: A Biography Workshop

[SWriverstone]

With thanks to ADVRider's toothy for coming up with the idea, we're starting the STN Interview Series with this post. ADVRider's thread has been a big hit, and there are some great stories there. Okay, here's the deal...

This is totally voluntary! If you think it's a stupid idea, keep your mouth shut.   If you're interested in interviewing someone, you should also agree to be interviewed yourself as well (only fair). If you're in, send me PM saying so. I'll add you to the list.

Each interview gets one day to avoid overlapping interviews (which would be a pain to read). Interviews will be conducted just like regular posts (interviewer posts a question, interviewee posts an answer). If you want to work out a specific time to do it, you can do that via PMs with the person you're interviewing.

Please try to keep peanut gallery comments to a minimum, mainly because it makes the interviews tougher to follow in a single thread. And though you can ask whatever you want...I'd suggest using common sense and respect!

Okay, that's it! Steve (servicerifle) and I will kick this thing off this Thursday (see below). Again, if you're game, PM me just saying so (and if you have a preference for who you interview) and I'll put you on the schedule!

THE GREEN ROOM
If you PM me that you want to be interviewed, I'll add your name below.

fzmax
Chips
RickC1957
Corbeau
Ant
cb400
Drain Fade
CLAY
panther289 (part 2)
Fourstring
saile
bluepoof
SWriverstone
Req
baldheadeddork

NOTE: As you can see, I've dispensed with those pesky dates.   Easier to just let it be organic and keep a tally of people who still need to be interviewed (the list is in no special order). If anyone disagrees, let me know!

So if anyone wants to interview anyone in the list above (even if you're on the list too), PM that person and have at it!   I'll continue updating links to interviews and add/remove people from the list.

That's what we're doing here!

Scott

[Cpl Punishment]

If the standard of interviews is higher than the two wot I just read in ADV, then okay. Count me in.

[Fourstring]

Yeah, what the hey.  I'm in.

[jerome_oneil]

I guess that makes a little more sense, and is certainly no more pointless than anything else that goes on here.

I'll do it, but only on condition that I respond to my interviewer only, and there are no brown M&M's in the bowl.

[bizarro]

You'll eat your brown m&ms and you'll like them too!

[jerome_oneil]

You'll eat your brown m&ms and you'll like them too!

Didn't I just say interviewer only!  I have two riders, and you've blown them both.  

You're fired!

[Headmanbrewing]

I'll repost a link to a specific interview.

For those that care, start reading at post # 3387 on this page (I hope)

The interview between CB and kbasa is one of the best, IMO.  Just skip past the peanut gallery comments and get an idea of what can happen in a thread like this.

If you're in, send me PM saying so. I'll add you to the list, and will post a schedule. I'll just randomly pair people up...but if you have a preference for who you want to interview (and as long as they're cool being interviewed), that's fine.

Interviews will be conducted just like regular posts (interviewer posts a question, interviewee posts an answer).

QUESTION: Mods, is there any chance this could be "stickied" to the top of Off-Topic? Also, is there a tie limit on editing posts? (I'd like to be able to keep editing this first post for the next couple of months...)
