I noticed that a lot of us are asking the same question to all of the authors who had a thread on the inquisition board (which is cool; I just did it too LOL). I think it actually might be more interesting to ask the same general question to more than one author and get more than one answer back so you can see how different authors do things. But I thought, instead of every author who wants to answer questions having their own thread for questions, maybe posters could be encouraged to start a new thread for each question, and all authors who want to participate could be encouraged to post answers in that thread, the way nicksgal did with the question about getting readers. And if someone did want to ask a question to just one certain author, they could just start a thread and title it something like "Question for Mare." It wouldn't change the function of the board at all, just the organization of it.
