Well, I'm so glad that this forum is back that I've completely forgotten all the questions I've been saving. So I guess the only one I have is kind of general.
I know you've stated before (though not in so many words) that you believe in God. (I do, too). I'm going to be as vague as possible, but in a novel I have started I have a magic-user who is also a religious person. A friend of mine seems to think that this is a paradox, that all magic is inherently contradictory with God. My friend is a very religious person and I'm sure she knows better than I do (her father is a minister, for goodness' sake!), but to me there's no contradiction. Have you ever met with that problem? How do you view magic in relation to religion?
I realize that that's kind of a 'loaded question,' so you don't have to answer if you don't want to do so. But I'm curious what your opinion is. Thanks! ;-)
Greg responds...
Hmmm....
"All things are true..." as Luna would say.
I believe in magic up to a point, and I see no conflict in that with my belief in God.
But, and this is important, I don't believe in a petty god. Or, despite the Bible, a jealous one.
I can see how those who do would find conflict where I see none.

What are you up to these days, and aside from convention appearances and this, how has it affected your professional life?
Greg responds...
Currently, I'm writing, story editing and producing a new television series for SONY, the WB and Mattel. This is AFTER having finished my stint on STARSHIP TROOPERS which will premier in syndication this month. On the latter, I story edited ten out of the forty episodes (#16-20 & #36-40). The writers on my two arcs were myself, Jon Weisman, Lydia Marano, Cary Bates and Michael Reaves.
On my current series I'm using all of the above plus Gary Sperling, Kevin Hopps, Mike Ryan and Katherine Fugate.
The current series will premier in January, 2000.
As for you're second question, I'm unclear on the antecedent of "it". You mean my current work? Or Gargoyles?
Ethan Webb Long writes...
Are you a gargoil. wich one if so. I'm your bigest fan in the world.
Greg responds...
No. And thanks.

Hi Greg,
It sounds like this year is treating you pretty well (except for the back. Ouch, done that. Does your chiropractor have you exercising along with those adjustments?)
Anyway, here are some change of pace questions (just in case you can't remember when Fox got her pilot's licence. j/k)
1. You've got all afternoon and a full tank of gas. Do you head for the beach, the mountains or the desert?
2. What part of the newspaper do you read first?
3A. Which fad or trend have you seriously considered trying out?
3B Which one do you wish would go away?
4. What is your favorite fast food restaurant?
5. What person, place or landmark sums up Southern California for you. Why?
6. If someone else hadn't beaten you to it, which fictional character do you wish you could have created?
Best wishes,
Greg responds...
Hey, Kathy. Doubt this will be very interesting, but:
My chiropractor has given me exercises. But I'm a slug most of time.
1. That question just doesn't work for me. My mind doesn't function that way.
2. Generally, the front section.
3 a & b. I can't think of any at this moment.
4. Carney's.
5. Nothing sums up So Cal. Nothing's that simple.
6. Again, my mind doesn't quite work that way. But I do remember a tv show called STRANGE LUCK, or something like that, starring D.B. Sweeney. I thought that concept was brilliant, and I was extremely jealous of it. Unfortunately, it only lasted one season.
