We've been talking about ways to make the front page / news section a bit more active. We've already got a list of nominees for of the Month stuff up there, which is an awesome start.
An idea I had ages ago and discussed with people (but never got around to) was a sort of "meta" interview with characters... an interview where they know they're a fictional character, and they talk about some of the threads they've done, the threads that they're currently in, and the arcs that they're involved with in the future. It'd maybe poke fun at some tropes, at weirdness in their accents, and all sorts of stuff like that.
An interview with Tom Harriman might ask such probing questions as "Why arrows?", "Why Orion?", "Are you ever going to grow some balls and take Alice out to dinner?", or "You run around in costume a lot - does it make your nipples hurt?"
Interviews could be solo ones, or might involve groups like everyone's favourite married couple (Tak & Wyl), a Master-Apprentice duo, or a group ensemble with the likes of John Glayde, Serasai Onashi, Mara Tallen, and a very confused MARCUS who isn't quite sure what he's doing sitting on a couch in a TV studio. It might even be fun to mix things up, and throw together interviewees from different RP settings, perhaps because they're similar personalities, have the same image claim, or something like that.
It's just a concept at this point anyhow, but I think it could potentially be a lot of fun!
Anyone want to volunteer or nominate some characters to give this a go? :mischief
