I'm doing a Journalism course and for one of my assessments i need to do a feature article. I wanted to do an article on Speculative Evolution, I used to be on this board a couple years ago as DorianGray. I need get three interviews for my piece, and i was wondering if anyone from the boards would be able to take part and answer some questions on what got them into Speculative Evolution, the community and different books and TV shows.
Any takers?

Welcome back Dorian! I remember your Chiropteran Skies project quite fondly. Any particular reason for making a new account? We really prefer people to stick to one account these days, unless you're unable to access your old account for whatever reason, in which case it's fine.
As for your interviews, I wouldn't be the best person for it (I don't spec enough), but I'm sure you'll find plenty of volunteers! Three people I would recommend asking are Troll Man, Sheather and delicious-turkey. Each one of these three runs one of the most popular projects on the forum (Diyu, Sheatheria and Illion respectively.) Not sure any of them will say yes, but certainly worth a shot.

You can also use me as a backup. I don't run any giant projects, but I've done a fair amount of spec (mostly not on this forum, though).

Please don't click. Seriously, what did I tell you? Come at me bro, come at me. That's it. I've REALLY had it now. One last chance to redeem yourself, or you will be burned in atheist hell, whatever the hell that means. This game is like Russian nesting dolls. Sorry, a bit of a tangent. Or should I say, a cosine? MWAHAHAHAHA trigonometry joke distraction. <insert octagon here>STOP</insert> Yer gold lies right around the corner. Or, you know, you could have clicked the "save the crow" link and found out without playing this game. Hey look, an elephant! Wait, didn't I already use that? Dragon this way… --> … and not the good kind. Please, seriously don't click this. Oudated meme warning! SECURITY BREACH I wonder who's actually reached this point. Okay, fine, here's the treat for those who seriously just wasted all their time doing this. Here it is. Just wait… Aha! Here! Erm… here! I promise. Seriously. Pinky promise. This is it. Just don't be surprised if it's a bit underwhelming. Well, someone ought to have a rick roll in their signature, and it might as well be me.

I'd be happy to help in any way I can, although I would argue there are other people on this forum perhaps more interview-worthy than myself. Still, I love what your doing here!

You like me (Unlike) I don't even really like this song that much but the title is pretty relatable sometimes, I guess.
Me  Forum user Uncanny Gemstar drew what is supposed to be a me. Thanks! Spoiler: click to toggle As they walk in, they're greeted by a small, poorly kept pathway leading to a poorly constructed Japanese-style gate. Behind this, a small field made up of corn, rice, wheat, potatoes, among other plants is contrasted by large piles of books, as well as a few rather out of place looking laptops. Off in the corner, a small woman, with long, striped, and strikingly colorful socks, no shoes, unremarkable denim shorts, a large, fancy black coat, arm warmers, glasses, a tuque, and somewhat unkempt, mid-length blue-and-pink-streaked red hair, is rummaging through a trash bin, located behind a sign saying "employees only". She continues this for a while (walking behind a wall to change her outfit now and then), until one of her visitors coughs. Startled, she looks up, apologizes, and grabs a handful of textbooks and novels before daintily running off to join them. What, you want me to tell you what these mean? Predenterra The (Lost) Lost World The Standing World Read First Clarifications on my sex and genderSorry if I come off as rude, I don't put much thought into word choice sometimes. I'm also super prone to editing my posts, sometimes multiple times, in the minutes following posting. For the love of god, take my posts from my earlier days on the forum with a grain of salt. I was not particularly knowledgeable or mature back then. Some of them are so cringe-worthy I can't even bring myself to look at them. Words Maybe Great Words - Words To Spec By

Yeah, and even if you don't agree with creationists on that concept, that doesn't mean they can't be decent people. I have friends who are creationist (possibly even young earth) that I get along with fine in general life. I don't think they're right of course, but that doesn't make them intellectual degenerates. ~~The Words of forbidden3

Even though he is our creator, that does not afford him the right to take our lives on a whim. But that is the thinking of a homs. He is a god. Such morals cannot apply to gods. So you think we should just shut up and die?! If that is the fate decided by a god. You are mistaken if you think we will simply accept such a fate and wait to die. We'll never stop fighting. Not till the end. To Zanza, the outcome is the same. Thus your logic is flawed.

But Souls are delicious. They're like bacon - they taste good on anything. But if you eat them, you completely remove them from existence! They can't move on or... or be reincarnated! Huh. I never really gave it much thought. Besides, what do you mean by reincarnation anyway? You know, being reborn as someone or something else. Which means different body, different memories, different experiences, yes? So isn't being reborn as "something else" the same as being "removed from existence"? I... I... eating souls isn't right! That depends on your definition of "right". All living things survive by eating other living things. So what? You're a god. You should be above all that! Gods are above living things, which doesn't necessarily mean we care about them.

I'd forgotten my password for my old account and the email I used for it, is there any way I could still get into it?
I'll definitely shoot those guys a message, i'll take anybody for interviews though, regardless of how much you spec, I just want people to get a good sense of the community for the article so i'll take all comers.
