So FANGORIA, one of the few true-genre magazines left (I will always miss you, STARLOG), has a nice interview piece with me about REPO MEN for which they've just posted the first half. Those of you who have read the essay in the back of the novel or read other interviews with me may not get a ton of new information, but if you're curious, or don't already know the history of the project, or just want to see some nice pictures of Jude, Forest, and the film, you can check it out by clicking HERE...
Very cool stuff, Eric! Even though I got to interview you for Geek Speak Blog, I still enjoyed reading other interviews. I also had the pleasure of interviewing three of the four runners from the Repo Men Game by Lone Shark Games & Wired, tonight. Two of them are up on Geek Speak now, too. http://geekgyrlfriday.com/repomenrunners
Don't know which was more fun, talking to you or them! LOL It's a close run....

Loved speaking -w- you, as you know; I'm always up for interviews where we can mostly just blab for a while instead of having to stick on track and Only Speak Of The Work, which can get quite boring indeed. Hooray for tangents!
Fantastic interviews with the runners -- obviously they're coming at this all from a different place than I am, but it's amazing to see how the world's extended beyond the film, and even, in a way, beyond the game itself. It's the kind of thing we writers live for -- you create a world, and then it gets bigger, quite without your assistance.
As for who it was more fun talking to, I'll allow you to keep up the kind charade that they may have run a close second. I mean, they do sound great and all, but...
