Would it be possible to have written transcripts? I understand it's a lot of work, but having a searchable version would be very nice.
The only way that's happening is if some loyal listener volunteers to do it.
I can provide text for the scripted parts, but the interviews aren't part of that, and as I move towards the much-encouraged "less scripted" approach, even that'll fade.
What would be quite nice would be if we had a handy wiki, where we could cooperate in creating the transcripts...
Good idea. I'll see about creating one and linking it to the page.
That would be fantastic, but we'll need some fairly solid rules about what can be added, and where.
It's more difficult to compartmentalise a wiki than a bulletin board like this, so things like spoilers and "stuff Jim shouldn't see" would need careful management.
Also, are we wanting to make a wiki which contains all known information about the TV series, or the books, or both, or alternatively are we wanting a very restricted subset of information?
Also, some authors like to keep a close eye on stuff like this (Diane Duane runs hers with an iron hand, Naomi Novik seems to let her very-well-behaved readers run loose) whilst some seem not to want to know. What would Jim's position be on this? and how about Robert in respect of TV-related stuff?
