Interview with Ryin Colenat


Question: So, what do you think of the story so far?

Answer: Well, it’s shaping up a lot differently than I expected. I think in the original draft, Ryin was supposed to replace Athel, wear a cape, and rule as king.

Question: Are you sure that was Mr. Yeager’s vision?

Answer: Vision? Have you seen how thick his glasses are? No, I don’t mean his draft, I mean my draft.

Question: Your draft?

Answer: Yeah, I’ve seen Mr. Yeager hack his way through it, and I thought, well shoot if that tub of lard can write, then anyone can write.

Question: That’s a pretty offensive thing to say.

Answer: Don’t worry, he won’t know I said it.

Question: Y-you do realize this is going on the website, right?

Answer: Is it? Crap. Okay, just cut that part out.

Question: Um, sure.

Answer: What do you mean, sure? You’re gonna’ do it, right?

Question: Yeah.

Answer: The part where I called my boss a pile of crap.

Question: Tub of lard.

Answer: Yeah, that part, you’re not going to put that on the website, right?

Question: Sure.

Answer: Okay good. Phew, that was a close one, wasn’t it? So anyway, yeah, I wrote my own version of the story, like fanfiction, only worse.

Question: I’m not sure that’s possible.

Answer: And in my version, Ryin ends up marrying every one of the major female characters.

Question: Like, he marries six women at once?

Answer: Yeah, don’t you think that is a great ending?

Question: I’m not sure Mr. Yeager would write something like that.

Answer: Sure he would. He’s Mormon, he can’t help himself. Anyway, I thought, heck, this is so good, why wait? So, I’ve been slowly slipping in pages from my version into the master copy of the script. The other day, we filmed three pages before anyone even noticed.
