From the very first time since I started writing interviews around 3 years back for an Indian community to this point in time, I've always looked to make sure I do something different in every interview.

However even one such as myself ran out of ideas after a period of time, so I started writing around 4-5 interviews with a slightly different trend. I added things as I proceeded.

Here is what my style was like originally:

1st style - Basic questions.
2nd style - Basic questions but indepth
3rd style - Indepth questions + Facts
4th style - Feature style + Facts + Fact File
5th style - ????

Currently am in a process of modifying my own style, not the part when I wrote "basic questions" to be literally just a Q&A style of interviewing people. The only problem was talking to Koreans hurt that style since if your not accurate your answers get a very 'general' outlook, unless your translator is super good.

With that I decided to switch to writing feature articles, and it fitted perfectly with the Korean style of answers. From then I got bored, since from early my style was asking a lot of questions I faced a huge task of editing interviews into the feature style.

Thats when I hit the entire "inactive" phase. I used to still do interviews, but I couldn't get myself to actually edit it. This is probably one of the worst things an interviewer can do... i.e. sit with an interview for weeks on end. I countered this by not asking 'event related' questions. My interviews suffered.

Right now am just adjusting my style of Q&A with asking a set of questions which get modified a little. I also am writing interviews at a faster rate. This pretty much makes my style a little different from standard interviewers. My aim is to make interviews more and more common, make everyone read as much as possible.

The one thing working for me is of course that people give different answers. Critical to this point would be the latest interviews I have on MYM.com, Zdravko's and Sein. Similar set of questions, same race players and yet it makes a difference.

I could have easily made Zdravko's interview look good, had I made it a feature style interview, but I must experiment to see what can be the best way of writing. I was told by a few friends who are good critics that I must stick to following the "Noname's Way" of interviewing, i.e. the same way I interviewed Satiini and a few others. But if there is no evolution in my work, I myself will get bored of it.

My need to experiment will not always get me recognition, but I don't care for that. Personal happiness is what matters :).

I will in the future talk more indepth about my own style and what questions should an interviewer look for. I think my 3 years and 30+ full-interviews and tons of small interviews, speak volumes about my ability.

biggest problem with interviews is the person u interview, if they have nothing interresting to say ur fucked from the get go :P

Well, that can also be averted if you can just write the interview well. But true, bad answers hurt the most.

i always hate it when u ask deep questions and then they answer very short, so then u try to ask a "subquestion" to lengthen the answer but still nothing comes out >_<
