As was mentioned yesterday, it's Interviewing Trey #15. It's interesting to me how these serials pace out sometimes. We can have several hours or days pass between posts in one area, and have three posts in a row all within a very short timeframe. It's all about finding the right pacing, or doing one's level best to… Continue reading Interviewing Trey #15
It's hard to elaborate on the title -- Interviewing Trey #15 is now out on Patreon. As with all Banter Latte series, this means it'll be here on Banter Latte tomorrow for non-patrons.
And now, as could be expected, we Interview Trey. Except, of course, that Trey’s not actually physically in this episode. On the other hand…
As we move into more of a regular rhythm, over on Patreon we see Interviewing Trey #14, with its Banter Latte appearance scheduled for tomorrow! Aside from the recalcitrant myth, we seem to be settling down. Justice Wing stuff -- including new and revived serials both exclusive to Patreon and shared here -- is gearing up… Continue reading Interviewing Trey #14 – on Patreon today, on Banter Latte tomorrow!
After a rather long way away, as we've discussed elsewhere... Interviewing Trey returns -- the second of these serials to be revived. As you'll recall, Todd Chapman's in a bit of a pickle, and I'm afraid his brining isn't over just yet. One aim I have, in the "explaining how villainy works" vein, is the differentiation… Continue reading Interviewing Trey #13
In Interviewing Trey #1-12... Some years before, Todd Chapman had been a music journalist for Amplifier magazine. He was given the opportunity to interview a third tier, C-list supervillain named Leather -- an interview which went over the course of a week and served as a crash course in the economics of making a living at super villainy,… Continue reading Interviewing Trey: For Those Who Came In Late
And here we are at the end of the week, and with any kind of luck at all, this post will actually appear on Friday. My old friend Jonathan Lennox thinks that a modern myth discussing the scheduling daemons that actually put the posts up at their appointed times is in order, to perhaps mollify said… Continue reading Interviewing Trey #12
Tuesday, and it's time to play catchup with Interviewing Trey. Which I hope was worth the wait, because in this episode.... Oh God, I don't know if I dare say it... no, wait. I must say it. In this episode... he actually interviews Trey! I know. Shocking. Here it is. Lovelace tomorrow, then more Trey on Friday.… Continue reading Interviewing Trey #11
Interviewing Trey is up. I'm just in from seeing the Rifftrax Live production/riffing of Starship Troopers, and I'm fried as all get out, so I'm just throwing it straight to Chapman. Have a good weekend! I remember the first day I was backstage at a major concert. I was never a rocker, no matter how much I might… Continue reading Interviewing Trey #10
And here we have the Friday dose of Trey Being Interviewed, which is something of a lie. I mean, honestly -- have we actually seen Trey interviewed yet? Maybe not. You may have guessed this particular story isn't a novella like Interviewing Leather was. For the record, that novella-length is something of a curse. I'd love to send… Continue reading Interviewing Trey #9
I'm enjoying writing Interviewing Trey. In the end, the driver for these stories, in my own brain, is working out the why of certain types of supervillain or supervillainous organization. In the case of Leather, back in the last story, that why shaped Leather's little gang and her modus operandi. But this time? What is the why of the Jack O'Knaves? That… Continue reading Interviewing Trey #8
And here we are, back again with Interviewing Trey. Due to things and stuff, it's actually been some time, for which I apologize. When last we left off, the Jack O'Knaves had just foisted intrepid reporter Todd Chapman onto Trey -- one of his most prominent magician's assistants and henchmen. She was tasked in finding… Continue reading Interviewing Trey #7
