Twenty-Four Days to Delusion/Featured Article Interview

The Interview

 * 1) 1. It seems like you've been working on this series for a while! Hopefully you're enjoying it?


 * A) Yeah, I'm really enjoying it. Actually, though, I've been busy to work on it for at least once a month, so that's why it's been so long. It's projected to be finished by the summertime.


 * 1) 2. If the series had a rating of some sort (like from the ESRB for games), what do you think it'd go under?


 * A) Hm... T for Teens. It has mild language that could be considered "offensive" to younger audiences, but it's not entirely adult material. There are some references that could be considered adult material, but it is a pun or something else of the sort that cannot be easily detected.


 * 1) 3. Out of the whole cast, which do you think was your favorite to write about?


 * A) Honestly, I think that writing about Tervaiu Docnabe (Callinaiva) was pretty interesting, because he is a mirror-image situation that could be correlated to the main character, Savoice Demoy. Also, he has this very intellectual vibe about him which determines how he handles his stress and other situations.


 * 1) 4. If there was one moment in the series that could have gone differently, what was it, and how would it go?


 * A) The part where Savoice Demoy gets the letter from Kalio Puytera (his leader of Pertan at the time) could have been a little different. Instead of getting it during a fist-fight between Moderator Jola Ed-Nonon and Finalizer Tuy, Savoice should have gotten it from his intellectual obsession, Najarv'sye Au-Vimoen which would prove the corruption in the Highers' government. If Savoice got this letter from Najarv'sye, there would be the mystery of approval on how this was delivered and why, and it portrays the entire message that Najarv'sye could be the watcher of Savoice as well as his corruption after all.


 * 1) 5. What would you say is the overall theme or 'aesop' of the series?


 * A) Pride. Yep. The theme is about the illusion of pride.


 * 1) 6. How would you feel if the series became an official part of something like the Sonic canon?


 * A) I would be kinda surprised, because the Sonic canon consists of the extensive use of powers for the cause of protection for, most times, a specific location. Here, its sort of like using politics to cover up the truth from the people because of the pride of positions. As government is not a greater part in the Sonic canon, I would be somewhat surprised this would happen, but I would enjoy every bit of it.


 * 1) 7. Finally, if there was an adaptation of the series in another format (video game, novel, etc), who would you prefer to handle it?


 * A) Who? Uh, I don't know. Maybe if it were to become canon, I would make sure that whoever was on the development team for Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 would be put in place to do it. I would want it to be a television series, though, I'd think, or maybe a comic.
