Ask N. K. Jemisin Anything
We will soon launch an exciting new monthly feature: an interview with some of the most celebrated authors in the SF/F/H genres. The questions will come from you, the WWEnd reader. We are thrilled to announce that our first author will be N. K. Jemisin, whose novel, The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, made quite a splash in 2010-11, netting nominations for the Hugo, Nebula and World Fantasy Awards. The final book in that same trilogy, The Kingdom of Gods, was also nominated for a Nebula, and the first book in her latest series, The Killing Moon, is up for the 2012 Nebula (stay tuned to see if she wins!).
A key component of the new interview series is the Urtak poll, embedded at the top of this post. Just read the questions and tell us whether you want each one to be asked. To vote, click “Yes” if you would like to see her answer the question or “No” if you don’t care (please don’t select “I don’t care,” though. I’m told it messes up our metrics. If you don’t care, then answer “no”). When you have voted on all submitted questions, you will be able to add your own questions. You may also click on the green “Ask” button at the top of the Urtak survey, but please do all of the voting first, in case someone else has already asked your question. It need not be a yes/no question. It’s just that WWEnders will then vote yes/no on whether they like the question. Got it?
The most popular questions will be asked first, so don’t split your vote by asking the same question twice!

This is so cool!
I see Jemisin is on your reading list, Rhonda. Might you have a question or two to add to the poll?
Thanks, Rico
This certainly moves her up my reading list. I don’t think I know enough to ask a question yet.
When will she actually answer these questions?
We just posted the interview yesterday. Check it out.
