This is funny, Terry. I'm sure those who reviewed your interview posts learned from them too. I know I did. Everyone won. Lol Good luck with your contest.

An Interview with Terry Broxson was an interesting last interview for Terry Broxson. This writer found it interesting that he failed freshman English in college. I graduated Magna Cum Laude while a member of the university baseball team. my lowest grade all the while I was in college was a C. I got that in freshman English. Terry encouraged people to interview FS members and created a contest, "Interview a FanStory Writer." As part of that contest, I am going to be interviewed.

    Thomas, thank you for reading and reviewing. It looks like you are KC Chiefs fan. I knew Lamar Hunt, many years ago, he was a good guy. Terry.

Of course, you did a very interesting interview with your usual talent for understatement and humor. I enjoyed it completely and can see no reason you couldn't write great fiction, especially of the humorous kind.

In this interview of this writer you seem to save the best for last as his answers were creative and funny. I enjoyed this interview, and admittedly, I still have to play catch up on the other interviews, but this one is the gold standard, and I look forward to the others.
Best wishes,
Mary

-Nice photo and clever interview, Terry.
-I like your opening about "today's interviewee!"
-You did a really good job with this, and I don't know if it was easy or not, but you made it look that way.
-I like your sense of humor and also sharing about all of the work you put into each interview you did. Kudos to you for caring enough to know something about each person, and also reading some of their books.
-Thanks for sharing some of the things you learned from each person.
-I also like the part where you share about what you would like to write about and why. I will look forward to seeing what you do.
-Regardless of what Mrs. Mathis said, and I bet most of us have been faced with someone resembling her, you have a gift for words and writing!!
-Well done and continued success with your endeavors.

    Pam, thank you for the six stars! I appreciated your very kind words. I think you may be right, we all have a Mrs. Mathis in our life to overcome. Terry.

    You are very welcome and deserving of the stars and review, Terry. There is usually one of those types somewhere in our early history!!

I think it's a good idea, and I think I'll leave before someone asks me, I wouldn't know what to say. But I think you made your choices well, I noticed others are doing it now, so perhaps you've started an epidemic. Well done, it's a first on fanstory, well done, blessings Roy

Hilarious. I love how your hard edged journalism really delved deep into the subjects personal life. He seems okay to me but you're the professional. It truly is a provocative proposal to interview some of these writers. Maybe you should sponsor a contest where writers can interview themselves. Uniqueness wins. A heartfelt good job goes out to you.

    Gretchen, thank you for the wonderful review. I did contact Tom at FanStory, and asked him if I could sponsor a cash contest for the interview idea, He said that was not possible. Terry

You're right about the interviews being written by others and you get the credit. Fortunately, you redeem yourself with this self-interview. Love your sense of humor about hubris and your formal training. My favorite paragraph is the one that tells what writers you would like to imitate.
Now, I have question I dare you to answer honestly. Rumor has it you only review only posts that pay a dollar and more. Is that true?

    Thank you for reviewing my interview. There is no truth about my reviewing only high dollar post, not even close.

    The bigger rumor is that I am well off, and don?t mind spending money on something I enjoy.

    There is even a rumor that I have have been known to give gifts to help others promote their interests.

    That is how rumors go.

    Thank you, Terry

You've done a great service here for the Fanstory community with these interviews! I was thinking when I started here, I was a timid, little mouse and happy to get a handful of reviews until I discovered promoting the pieces. Lol. But with your warm and friendly personality, you just know how to include everyone and cast the spotlight on select writers. I'm humbled and thankful that you chose me as one of them as there are so many more talented writers here.

I like all the things you gleaned from the interviews and hope these skills serve you well in your fiction writing. Here's to you proving that sourpuss Mrs. Mathis completely wrong!

One comment:
OF THEMSELF? (HIMSELF) unless you have multiple personalities. I know all y'all Texans do use them pronouns plurally...

    LOL, I love your review, and thank you for the six stars! And for being the STAR of the first interview. Of course, it would be complete without a correction. Thanks for that as well. Terry
