Chris recently appeared on the Building Dystopia podcast, discussing worldbuilding. The questions covered include the following:

Would you take us through your personal worldbuilding process, perhaps highlighting what you believe are the most important elements of worldbuilding?
What elements of the world contribute most to it becoming a transmedia world? What is it about a world that attracts other mediums and stories?
What is it about a world that encourages fan engagement, fan fiction, con participation, etc..?
What are your favorite transmedia worlds, and what is it about these worlds that make them appealing to transmedia expansion?
You are famous for preaching the gospel of write quickly and write for the market. Can I just recommend to our audience a few of your books, including “5K words per hour” (I still use your app) and “Write to Market”? You’d find a lot of Tolkien fans frothing at the mouth with the thought that you could create a new world for a novel, and write the novel, within 21 days as you have done in past video series. What special considerations, or perhaps compromises, have to be made when worldbuilding so quickly?
How do you think the author’s who are self-published approach worldbuilding differently from traditionally published authors? Do commercial considerations impact worldbuilding decisions, if so, how?
What do you believe is the author’s role in the expansion of a successful transmedia world?
What kind of ownership do you believe an author has of the world if it becomes successful enough to be expanded upon in the fan-fiction world?
How do you feel about worldbuilding outside of the sci-fi/fantasy genre? Do you believe it’s an important consideration for authors in other genres or other mediums?
Do you have any other advice for transmedia worldbuilders?
