Hey y'all,

Since Sunday Spotlight is such a new feature, we're hoping to get a bit of feedback from everyone. Any questions or comments or concerns or complaints would be very much appreciated right now (yes, I know people are interested in a moderated chat with a few spotlightees; we're still working on that).

Some things we've been wondering:

Do people actually read all 5? Or is it more, "Oh, this looks interesting, maybe I'll take a gander at it?"

Would it be easier to keep the novelty afloat by only doing, say, 3 a week instead of 5?

Should there be a way to tell you guys what's coming up in each category (VA, industry, etc) and ask you to vote on who gets to go up next?

Thanks for the feedback!

Hmm... It's true, I only read about 3 from last Sunday myself. The thing to consider though, is that having five to select from helps to appeal to a wide variety of interests. I might not be interested in a particular voice actor, but hey, there is always that composer to check out. Cutting it down may not hurt, but I can appreciate being able to pick and choose from the interviewees.

I wouldn't worry about coming up with a vote yet as to the categories yet. This is still a new feature, and the ball is only starting to get rolling. I'd personally wait for a bit before making any changes.

I read all five last week, and they were well done. I enjoyed reading all of the interviews. Smile

The 5-interview format is fine with me. However, I wouldn't mind if there were only 3 interviews; it could be easier on your part to limit yourself to only 3 since you guys are very busy with other projects and your regular routines.

That would be a great way for us to be indirectly involved with the interviewing process. As mentioned a few weeks back, another idea was to make suggestions as to who we like to have interviewed, if possible. I know how hard it is to get interviews with certain people, but most of us are patience enough to wait a few weeks or so. Wink

We definitely read all the comments on all the features and what not (even if some people type them in Size 1 font -_-), so if you'd ever like to make a suggestion for who to interview, please feel free to do so at any time. Heck, you could even make a list right now. Very Happy

Thanks for your comments guys!
