So what questions would you like me to ask Christopher Paolini?
Added 2020-07-17 14:25:14 +0000 UTCI will be interviewing him today at 2pm, and would love for you all to throw in some of your questions! We have been chatting a bit and he is a super knowledgable guy about fantasy. His making the transition into scifi really fascinates me.
What do you want to know?

2020-07-20 00:04:05 +0000 UTCHow has writing process / inspiration for his writing changed going from child to adult? Are some things easier or harder for him now?
2020-07-17 19:16:14 +0000 UTCCould you ask him if there's been an attempt to have a different adaptation to Eragon for movie or tv?
2020-07-17 17:00:16 +0000 UTCWhen you self published your first book, how did you promote it?
2020-07-17 15:41:02 +0000 UTCOn top of that, to what extent does genre matter to him beyond marketability? Is it helpful to know the tropes and plot structures typical for the genre or is it a hindrance because one needs to think of subversions or audience expectations?

2020-07-17 15:34:56 +0000 UTCSword and Sorcery Fantasy seems to be the norm for the genre (although decreasingly so), but with Sci-Fi, genre norms have evolved considerably. What branch(es) of Sci-Fi is he drawing the most inspiration from for his new series?

2020-07-17 15:28:54 +0000 UTCWere there any challenges in writing a sci-fi story as opposed to a fantasy story? For example having to keep things a bit more grounded in terms of believability or technical explanation

2020-07-17 15:00:06 +0000 UTCLooking back on it now, what would he change, if anything, about the Inheritance Cycle if he could do it again?

2020-07-17 14:57:31 +0000 UTCAre you going to let him know you DNF’d Brisingr and never finished the series? 😜 Just joking, you might try it again but would be interesting seeing what he thought.
