I feel like the current system for this thread is a bit too disorganized. It seems like we should have all the candidates before anyone votes, and being able to vote for everyone seems like it doesn't so as good of a job of picking who the most people want to interview. So, I thought of two different possible systems that I personally think would work better.
The first system adds a lot more organization, though does slow down the process. There would be three periods, each one with a different purpose. The first period would be the signup/entry period, where anyone who wanted to join could simply post that they wanted to join, and then the entry period would end either when there are ten possible interviewees, or simply after a week. Second would be the voting period, which would be one week long, where all the entered author's usernames and possibly story links would be put in a poll, and people would vote on that, and would probably only be allowed a maximum of two votes. Then would be the third and final period, the interview period, where people simply ask the author with the most votes random questions. This system would slow things down a bit, but would be a lot more organized. It would be possible to make all the periods shorter if it seemed too slow, so each period would be maybe two days instead of a full week.
Then the second proposed system completely does away with pretty much any organization whatsoever. Instead of people voting for a specific writer to interview, people could simply ask random questions and anyone who wanted to answer could. This system is a lot simpler, and would probably be more fun, but is very disorganized.
These are just some ideas of mine, you don't have to use them!
