Fear the Boot Interview – Part II

This is the second half of Tracy Hickman’s interview on ‘Fear the Boot’ podcast this week.

  • (0:19) The role of online communities in finding, building, and sustaining an audience.  If you’re interested in Dragonlance, be sure to check out the Dragonlance Nexus.
  • (3:44) The value of art, entertainment, and ideas on the internet.  Why free may not always be the best price.  Tracy’s plan for nurturing new authors in this environment.
  • (14:34) Tracy’s experience of co-authoring with his wife.  The importance of a continual feedback loop in the creative process.  The struggles of writing and the joys of having written.
  • (19:43) The Dragonlance movie.  Watching other people take over your creative properties, and the “original bad deal” that gets you published.
  • (25:17) Whether Tracy ever plans to do anything more that’s directly in the RPG market.  His new book series, starting with Song of the Dragon.
  • (29:20) What’s up with the dragons?  That question leads into a discussion on the monomyth, cognitive dissonance, and the human penchant for narrative.

Hosted: Chad, Dan, Pat, Wayne.
