Old interviews to publish

[Ash]

Hi! I haven't been on these forums in a long time but recently rediscovered my love of the TMNT after finishing Last Ronin.

Today I remembered an article I wrote for the British magazine SciFiNow back in 2012 about the history of the TMNT. I interviewed quite a few people from Turtles history - Peter Laird, Jim Lawson, Erik Larsen, Frank Fosco, Gary Carlson, Kara Vallow, Mike Dooney...

I still have the raw Q&A docs that were used to create the magazine article, which is now a decade old and lost to time. So I thought it might be interesting to preserve the original interviews online.

My only question is where... I could post them here on this forum, but I wondered if there might a suitable blog or fansite that might like to host them in a more structured form.

Any ideas?

Well, first off, if you wrote the article and conducted the interviews for a magazine you might need to be sure if you have the rights to publish them on your own (though to be fair, I doubt they care about something from ten years ago). Anyway, if you do publish them, I think doing it in this thread might be fine. If you want more eyes, I'd suggest Blogger or something.

The magazine has the rights to the article but not the raw materials used to make it. Besides which, it was ten years ago and the mag is under new ownership. As you say, I doubt very much that they'd care.

Then I'd just suggest starting a Blogger account and posting them there.

Okay, so I've posted the Peter Laird interview up on my retro gaming blog, as a bonus post to go along with a write-up of Tournament Fighters.

Hopefully it's interesting. If enough people like it, I'll consider sharing the others.

This would be awesome! I would love to see it.

There are a few small snippets there I'd never heard about.

"And if there is such a thing, I think it would have been good for Kevin and I to have had some kind of 'business partner counseling.' It might have allowed us to continue working together."

Thus implying that they stopped working together because of some kind of business-related misunderstanding/frustration? Like, pre-NT:TNM?
