I started interviewing my main character for the fiction I'm writing.

I had this story worked out in its basic conception over the last 6 mos, a metaphor for one man finding his thing in the postfeminist world (I was born from one), but a lot of it takes place during the Battle for Okinawa during WW2.

Right now the interview is specifically for the first few chapters anyway but I just invented (or re-invented) the development technique (interviewing).

Its a "top-down" approach. "High-level" conceptual first then "drill down" to get the rubber down onto the road.

Appearantly Joe Van Roost has the hots for Aura, Ming the Merciless' daughter who had the hots for Flash Gordon (Buster Crabbe version).

He's a period character.
magni:
I should explain....Joe Van Roost is a dreamer who resorts to delusions to help cope with the battle of Okinawa and a strange event helps him launch well into one. But before that he has a fascination with Priscilla Lawson's trangressive character, Aura, of the Flash Gordon serials. He's getting set up into a cult of woman worship of his own making, a strange kind of ultimately tragic love, because it is impossible, like Goethe's Werther but on a media scale.

magni:
The bulk of the story is not centered around this fascination with Aura by any means. Its just meant to set up a consistency of character.
