Hello Aaron, Never written anything to you before, so forgive me if this is not how it's done, but I just have a question for you. I don't have facebook (thankyou for discriminating against people who refuse to join facebook like me!) but I did get to see your facebook page for the new website through a friend that has it. This meant that I didn't get to read the interview and I'm presuming you may have answered this already in there. But is your new website a flat out comedy? It says on the book that it's mostly funny. I think that's really cool, because for all the serious talks on here, I wonder if anyone else sees how funny so much of it is! I think your dry humour is really up there sometimes. So I'm looking forward to this very much if you're using that side of you more. If you don't want to answer this, that's fine, just a bit curious because I didn't read the interviews. Thanks, Simone Hi Simone, Firstly, I am very sorry to anyone who doesn't have facebook, and would like to participate (yes, I know such people exist, and if it's any consolation, I actually really respect that you've resisted!), but I'm not actively "discriminating" - that's a harsh word to use, I think we should be careful how we use it. It's just a fresh way of using fresh web technology, and I don't want to not do it, just because some people don't have it. I also think it's fair that those who do go to the effort to sign up do receive something for their trouble. Eventually, I may publish the material on the site, or even here. But for now, that's how it is, and even if I had the entire contents public, then there are some security issues, for me, as well as a general level of privacy. So, there's also that reason as to why that chat is published for people who are obviously endeared to this site, and who have supported it, and respect it, etc. I really am very sorry if you're one of those people, and you don't get to see all of it. But, really, if you want to that badly, you can just sign up, it takes five minutes. Just use it for that, and never read it again? Otherwise, don't worry, you're not missing out on that much, it's really only going to be interesting to people who come from the original Eye On Big Brother site, to be honest, because it discusses that site, more than anything else, in how I have arrived at this next one. I hope I'm not coming across to harsh, myself - I do totally respect what you're saying - but there's nothing I can do about it! Anyway, of course I will answer any question, there's no way of doing this, you can write and say or ask whatever you want. And it's kind of good that you did mention this, because you're quite right, I have referred to it on that facebook page as a "comedy" (or did I just call it "funny"?), but I must say, as I've worked through this, and am now getting the final version ready to upload, I've realised that it's not actually that funny! It is, it's definitely got it's black humour in there, that's for sure. But it's more like this site. It definitely has its moments, but it's more like a funny drama, than a slightly serious comedy, if you know what I mean. It's just that when I originally was working on it, I did project it to be a comedy, a little more than it ended up being. So, the answer to your question is kinda yes and no! If that makes sense. But I'm glad you went and had a look, many thanks for that! Hopefully, you'll enjoy it, and find something in it to make you smile. Cheers, Aaron
