Gears Author Karen Traviss Interviewed
by PWNiSH3R on Aug.10, 2009, under Gears of War News
GamePro’s XboxFanForce has interviewed Gears of War novel author Karen Traviss. She talks about everything from her novels, to working with Epic and where she thinks the Gears universe is headed.
XBFF: In “Aspho Fields”, we saw how Marcus and Dom met, as well as learned more about little known Gears characters and backstory. When working with such a big license, how much freedom do you have in creating the story? Was Epic very protective over their story and characters or were you given free rein over The Gears universe?
KT: In licensed work, the spectrum of working practice is vast. You can get anything, from the license owner who won’t tell you what’s coming up in the original property or even speak to you – you get third-hand messages via the publisher, or lobbed through your window wrapped around a brick if you’re really lucky – right through to the owner who brings you into the creative team, involves you, and gives you every freedom you can possibly want. Epic’s at one far end of that curve – they’re totally open, totally team-minded. I work directly with Rod, Cliff, and Mike. Plus if I have bizarre questions, like where the controls that aren’t shown in a ‘Dill might actually be located, I can talk to the concept artist. In fact, we work so directly that the publisher doesn’t get involved with the book until the manuscript is finished and Epic has signed it off with me. That’s very unusual in this industry.

These UGG Classic Cardy are a dream! They are extremely comfortable and very stylish too. Great with leggings and for sore, pregnant feet!I love these UGG Classic Cardy Boots. They are warm and super comfy! They are a bit larger than the leather UGG Classic Cardy Sale but once you put socks on they feel much better. They look great folded down and also slouched as well. I get tons of compliments on them. I want them in every color!
