    I'm willing to take a money bet that it's more than you or I. But that's because he haz POWERZ.


    Probably stopping time, sleeping and then resuming it.

    1. Is your cane metaphorical, or is there an actual cane?

    2. If actual, have you ever waved it wildly at anyone?

    Recently a teacher of mine said: "I never even think of anybody else while I'm creating. Audience, public, if anyone with "get it". I don't care about the others, I care about me.

    My question is: do you wrtie with a perfect reader in mind? Better yet, do you care if what you're writing is reader friendly, or you write just for to fulfill yourself?

    hello mr ellis, a couple of questions:
    1. have you ever felt the urge to write yourself into your fiction like stephen king and grant morrison?
    2. what do you think is the biggest mistake a comic writer can make when approaching a story?

    He appeared in an issue of Transmet (or, at least two friends that look strikingly similar to Warren and Darick, respectively). They were talking about cosmetic penis warts.

    warren:
    in the case of your book tokyo storm warning, did you always plan on calling it that? or was it a case of "i've written a giant robot story set in japan; what the hell, i'll title it after an elvis costello song"?

    either way, you'll always have a place in my heart for it.

    Warren, do you ever grant more formal interviews (even if only via e-mail)? And if so, what's the procedure for getting in touch?

    What is your earliest childhood memory?


    Wikipedia answers this one: "Ellis was born in Essex in February 1968, about seventeen months before Neil Armstrong landed on the Moon on July 20, 1969; he reports that the televised broadcast of the event is his earliest coherent memory." It was Warren's foreword to "Orbiter", I believe...

    You've graduated from Cloud Atlas to Master and Commander already? Do you read as fast as Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting? Did you give up on Cloud Atlas? If not and you just read more than one book at a time, do you like it? Question mark?

    Warren - you've written a lot about supernatural/occult themes, with both good research and sympathy. Do you actually have any beliefs in any paranormal/magical agencies or models? And have you ever had an experience which you'd call 'supernatural' or similar?

    And with two protagonists in your current work who had a year with no sleep, I'd also like to know how your sleeping...

    I should point out that a lot of these questions could be answered by searching we.com... (nextwave, expos, comics, writing...)

    Anything else can normally be answered with "no", "not nearly enough", "a lot of money" or "not nearly enough money".

    And the cane is real. I'm sure there's a recording of a panel session somewhere about the rugby accident.

    So, with that, I should come up with a question myself...

    Would you accept a EIC job if it came up?

    Warren, a vaguely WFH question or two...

    With your creator owned work, you seem to put lot of effort into considering the format and style of the physical product - I'm thinking of things like Fell and Apparat here. How much of that aspect also makes it into the WFH books you're involved with - and is it something that some publishers actively discuss with you, given that you're quite well known for this side of your work? (I'm guessing that the distinctive newuniversal covers and the Nextwave style both fall, at least partly, into this category...?)

    On a related note, but slightly more of a general industry WFH question - how involved/informed are you when recent (or not-so-recent) WFH work is being republished as a collection? You've mentioned the Ultimate Human situation elsewhere, and presumably the original contracts cover most of the business side of any collection or reprint/translation, but how do these things work - does someone just drop you a mail to say "by the way, we're going to be publishing XYZ as a collection in October"?

    The way comics work nowadays, isn't an eventual collection virtually a given, if the comics are even moderately successful?

    Work's eating my head today. Will get to these ASAP, feel free to keep them coming, I'll get to them all in the end...

    VAL: drop me a note at degaussing@googlemail.com and I'll transfer you to my home account. Interviews via email are fine.

    I've been wanting to ask these for a long time...
    1. I know you've written videogames (and things based on videogames), but do you actually play them?
    If so, which ones?

    2. What do you think about Kahn's upcoming Neuromancer?

    Hey Warren --

    RU Sirius has gotten some nice Transhumanist people to fund another magazine, and I'm doing a review feature on you for them, narrowing it down to Freakangels and Ultimate Human for reasons of space, coherence and not going utterly doolally. Mind if I ping you on the degaussing address for a one liner to fit into the piece?
