Skinner Boxes and Interviewing Genre Personalities
This morning I can come to two possible conclusions:
either INTERVIEWS are excellent for generating traffic
or
interviewing NICK MAMATAS is excellent for generating traffic.
Of course a double-blind study will not be necessary to determine which is which (unless it’s actually a little bit of both – but somehow I suspect that Nick would object to being placed in a Skinner box and tortured into hunting for cheese. On the other hand…I wonder if Nick likes cheese?) (Do you like cheese? Are you a cheesehead or a cheeseophile?; are you ignorant of cheese? Is your cheesiness limited to robotically produced squares of hardened vegetable oil, or do you really know the proper temperature at which to serve Brie? I’ve never talked about cheese here, perhaps now is the time.)
My roundup of likeable lascivious licentiousness (The Incomparable Dejah Thoris) has (finally) been knocked off the top of the post heap. More folks have searched for the interview than have searched for ‘Chicks with whips’, even.
Now I have to figure out whom to interview next. Author, artist, fan?
I’ve got lots of questions.
