Stephen Granade is one of the rare writers who was paid, |
|
for some amount of time, to write about Interactive |
|
Fiction regularly. While employed by about.com, he |
|
maintained a section on the subject, including links and |
|
essays. With the closure/ending of his time with |
|
about.com, he still had the rights to his works and used |
|
this as the foundation for a new site, Brass Lantern, |
|
which reviews and analyzes interactive fiction. |
|
|
|
Granade is also the current maintainer/organizer of The |
|
Annual IF Competition (also known as the IF Comp), one of |
|
the main locations where IF works are given a showcase |
|
and compete for prizes. |
|
|
|
Madison, Alabama is not actually near any particular |
|
airport that I could get a flight from Boston to, so |
|
conducting the interview required a 100+ mile drive from |
|
Atlanta and back in the same day. I made my flight but |
|
immediately regretted not driving in that direction the |
|
previous evening when I passed the U.S. Space Camp on the |
|
way to his house. |
|
|
|
The interview itself was wonderful, as we covered a lot |
|
of the "modern" interactive fiction scene, it's character |
|
and characters, and what challenges and triumphs they |
|
were experiencing. Many clips from this interview ended |
|
up in the final movie - Stephen just knew what to say and |
|
how to say it. |
