Forbeck: The Interview - Matt Forbeck

Fiction Depot: My favorite event was the Live-Action and Life-Size version of Robo Rally. I played many a rounds when I attended. Do you have a favorite game or event that you always try to play? What about your kids, do they have favorites? Matt Forbeck: My schedule's too jammed for regular games, but my favorite event these days is the True Dungeon. It's a live-action version of Dungeons & Dragons that's played in a series of chambers built into a gigantic hall at the convention, and it's amazing fun. I last played two years ago in a VIP session with Monte Cook, Mike Selinker, Colin McComb, and a slew of other great gamers. My eldest son Marty also joined us. We got slaughtered but had a ball. 4 out of 5 http://www.fictiondepot.com/Index.cfm?FeatureID=47

nterview: on Kickstarting LADY SABRE - Greg Rucka and Rick Burchett and Eric Newsom

"MSG: That’s a great lead-in to the big question: Why Kickstarter? Why not go to an indie publisher? GR: There were for me two really crucial things. First, web comics are very community driven. We live and die on the basis of having a readership that will visit us twice a week or once a month, or once every three months. But whatever it is, they’ll come to us and participate. Part of what we’ve all enjoyed and what’s mattered to us is working with that community, so when we began discussing the trade, it was very organic for us to say that this would be a community project. The community should be able to be involved, and if at all possible, it would be a great way to grow that community. So that was one. And then, for me speaking personally, I’ve been writing comics for fifteen years now. I’ve remained deliberately ignorant of what goes on beyond a certain point in the production of the book. The printing distribution aspects of the profession are ones I know very little about. This was an extraordinary opportunity for me to learn just how the sausage is made. In so doing, hopefully it will make me a better writer — understanding what is required once you have your story and art, and everything has been edited, and you have your pages — how you go from that to something you get to hold in your hand. I knew it was through a printer, but I didn’t really know what that really entailed. Part of the reason that it took so very long to launch the Kickstarter is that there was a huge education that I personally had to undergo and that we collectively had to understand what the paper stocks were, what the bindings were, how the covers work, how the end papers work. All of this — how the book was going to be put together, what the differences are in various types of production, what the options are. I know more now than I did six months ago!" 4 out of 5 http://www.comicosity.com/interview-lady-sabre/

Crowdfunding Fiction River: An Interview with - Kristine Kathryn Rusch

"ASM: Why did you decide to use crowdfunding on this project? Kris: We wanted to gauge the interest. If the Kickstarter project failed, we wouldn’t have done Fiction River. It was that simple. If no one wanted to buy it, then we weren’t going to do it. We funded so fast that we were stunned, and then we were excited, and now we’re just plain thrilled to hold the first volume in our hands." 4 out of 5 http://amazingstoriesmag.com/2013/04/crowdfunding-fiction-river-an-interview-with-kristine-kathryn-rusch/
