1) Why do Xanatos' Steel Clan blow up everytime they get destroyed? Is
it a backup of his, or just a design flaw? o.O
2) In TGC, Brooklyn's reaction to Broadway and Angela's relationship
was to run away... but what were your plans? How were you going to have him react?
3) Where was Elisa's new police station going to be located? Anywhere
special?
4) Since Matt became head of the Gargoyle Task Force, was he going to
still have time to be Elisa's partner?
6) (I'm gonna leave out 5, just so I feel like I fit in. o.O ) Would
you tell us what names you had planned for your new Pack characters? (All
the wild dog names appear to be used up. o.O)
7) Would they have torn down or rebuilt the clocktower?
8) When Xanatos turns the dial on his suit... is that steam that's
dispersed, or is the suit locked air-tight?
9) I did the math for Samson, Artus and Gwenyvere... how were you
going to keep intrest with younger viewers in the proprosed spinoff when half
the 2158 Manhattan Clan sounds like they'd need artificial respiration to
fight crime? o.O
10) This isn't a question, but you should try submitting a question to
Gore's "The Box." (His topic discussion forum.) I'm sure you could
think up something interesting that's relative to the show.
5) (I felt bad about excluding it.) Are there any other shows on tv
that you'd like to write for, and why?
11) Are you going to guest write for any more shows, like you did for
MIB? (Good ep., BTW. The part where K's skeleton pops up and says, "I'm all
right!" was hilarious. :P)
12) How did you get started with writing?
13) What certain qualities do you think make a good writer? (Not an
average one, someone who could write something great - well, like Gargoyles.
No sucking up there, it's just a fact; Gargoyles is co-leader for being
the highest quality North American cartoon there is - Spawn being the
other co-leader.)
Greg responds...
1. Maybe a bit of both.
2. TimeDancer.
3. Right where it always was. They were already rebuilding it
during the Journey.
4. Yeah. The task force wasn't going to be a full time job at
first.
5. What is the significance of o.0? If there's an icon in
that, I don't see it. :)
(Note from Gorebash: o.O O.O O.o are all faces. the o's are eyes and the .'s are noses. BUGEYES)
6. Nope.
7. Rebuilt it, but not necessarily to look exactly the same.
8. I thought it was steam.
9. You must be very young. At any rate, Samson's older
siblings would not have been regulars. He would have been the lead. An
elder statesman thrust into a crisis. Think of a slightly more
Goliath-like Hudson figure. But he wouldn't have been the only regular
character, and he would have been the oldest biologically, so I wasn't
too worried about AGISTS (like you :)) rejecting the show.
10. It's not really my forum. This is.
5. Oh, I think it would be fun to write for Buffy. It'd be
amazing to write for Homicide, although I don't know if I'm up to it. I
think I could do some interesting work on Highlander or either Star Trek
series. There are probably others.
11. That skeleton bit was actually written by story editor
Duane Capizzi. My version was slightly different. I've written a
Disney Hercules, a second MiB and am currently writing my third MiB.
12. In second grade, we had spelling words that we had to put
into a sentence. I ran all the sentences together to make a story. It
was fun. I got praised for it. So I kept at it. I started my first
unfinished novel in the sixth grade. Etc.
13. Read a lot. Write a lot. Read some more. Don't base your
work on other people's recent work. Don't base it on recent of
semi-recent pop culture. Look at the classics. Classics of literature,
of drama. Classic pop culture is o.k. too, but don't assume that
ANYTHING qualifies as an instant classic no matter how much you like it.
Write. Write. Read. Read. Proofread. Read aloud. Read your own
writing aloud. Never stop learning new things. Read. Write. Read
some more. (Get the idea?)
By the way, isn't it "la cabeza"? (GDW / 4-21-98)
