Afternoon Tea with CJB

Hey friends! If you’re around on the socials, you may have seen this yesterday on our Instagram feed!

I mostly take care of the Instagram so @CJB can focus on Important Publisher Things™, but since that also means you guys end up hearing from him less, we’re starting a little series where I bring him out from behind the curtain once a week to drink some tea and answer a bunch of random questions, both Ackerly Green-related and not!

Now, I’m a pretty creative human and can always think of things to ask, but since this is more for you guys to get to know him better as a person instead of a god pharaoh, comment below if you can think of any questions you’d like CJ to answer! I’ll be choosing a few fun ones to ask the next time we shoot, so keep an eye out to see if we get to yours! It’ll likely get posted earlier next week, when we will be blessing your social feeds yet again with my rudimentary video editing skills :cjheart:

What you’re drinking during Afternoon Tea would take up a few seconds each time. :ascendershrug:

Beyond that, I usually just let people that Know Things :tm: keep chatting until they spill on their own. :deirdretea:

“CJB Spills the Tea” was definitely a name contender :cjtea:

What on earth does planning/outlines/notes for a story in this “medium” (collective storytelling? does that capture it?) look like?! Where did you even begin?

Also, without spoilers of course, how far ahead have you planned out the story? Do you know where you plan on being a month/six months/a year out?

At times you’ve had a lot of characters all active at once doing something different and magiqual. So my question is is it difficult playing so many different characters in TMP and keeping track of them?

And Episode 2 is up on Instagram!

I tried to get to all the questions that had come in as of that day (last Thursday), so if you have more keep them coming because we’ll be shooting another one tomorrow!

I’m jealous of these vacation plans, because I am also super into Star Wars and Harry Potter but am a single person in my mid-twenties who has no excuse to go. Also I am totally serious, if anyone else is a Star Trek nerd and wants to play a Mountie bridge simulator session, let me know.
