So what questions would you like me to ask Christopher Paolini?

Should have been a patron a week ago ;) :D

Damn, I wish I'd caught this. I ended up disliking the whole series because of how he handles Roran at the end of the series.

How has writing process / inspiration for his writing changed going from child to adult? Are some things easier or harder for him now?

Could you ask him if there's been an attempt to have a different adaptation to Eragon for movie or tv?

When you self published your first book, how did you promote it?

Carlos Rodriguez

On top of that, to what extent does genre matter to him beyond marketability? Is it helpful to know the tropes and plot structures typical for the genre or is it a hindrance because one needs to think of subversions or audience expectations?

Carlos Rodriguez

Sword and Sorcery Fantasy seems to be the norm for the genre (although decreasingly so), but with Sci-Fi, genre norms have evolved considerably. What branch(es) of Sci-Fi is he drawing the most inspiration from for his new series?

Jarrod Milroy

Were there any challenges in writing a sci-fi story as opposed to a fantasy story? For example having to keep things a bit more grounded in terms of believability or technical explanation

Connor Reading

Looking back on it now, what would he change, if anything, about the Inheritance Cycle if he could do it again?

Jenn Hahn

Also, would he rather fight 100 chicken-sized horses or one horse- sized chicken? You know, for tradition.

Are you going to let him know you DNF’d Brisingr and never finished the series? 😜 Just joking, you might try it again but would be interesting seeing what he thought.
