Gilles Nuytens: The Saggi seems to be a little like a combination of the wraiths as they harvest humanoids, and replicators as they have turned against their creators, the Ancients. How do you hope people will perceive this similarity? DrymWyver: The Saggi are non-corporeal beings who harvest humanoids not for food but as working body-parts and incubators. They in effect "steal" humanoids and use them to pro-create their species. Their agenda is unknown. Those who resist, get harvested whether they like it or not, after which they are then terminated. Those who do not resist, are freed when the Saggi are done with them. In order for them to go from planet to planet they have to be in humanoid form.
Gilles Nuytens: As for now, how many books of this series do you plan to write? DrymWyver: I have already written 5, and edited 2 of them. The first book is called "New Beginnings" and should be out this week. I plan to write for as long as I have readers.
Gilles Nuytens: Where do you find your inspiration source to write stories? DrymWyver: I find my inspiration to write from watching interractions of people in general and things that happen around me. I also take a small notepad everywhere I go and jot down ideas I come up with. Then I write them out and keep editing them until I find something that works. I have this need to make the storyline as believable as possible within the frame work of the particular story I am working on. Technology today is far in advance then it was 60 or so years ago. At that time the writers were really unrealistic about what they perceived the future to be. I believe that some technology will change over the next hundred years, but how people perceive their lives and conditions will remain relatively the same as it is now. I don't believe we humanoids per se, will all be flying around in space ships to and from work. Maybe in a thousand years, but not in the near future. It's the same with writing Stargate, the future technical aspects of Stargate is relatively simple. The concept of Gate technology is wonderful. Yet when one steps through the gate, you never know if the technology is going to be better or worse. It's like everyday life. Some people are poor and some people are rich. You never know when you get born-what kind of life you will have. When you open that door and step through it, your life is your destiny for richer or poorer.
Gilles Nuytens: Can you give some information about the story of the second book "Solaris and Beyond"? DrymWyver: Solaris and Beyond is based on the possibility of a ripple in time. What would happen if a time ripple drew the crew someplace else. I know Star trek has kind of beaten the subject to death almost, and some of the Stargate SG1 series have touched the surface, but I am taking them one step beyond that. Where the crew of the Andromeda have no choice, but to follow through with the problems and what they encounter inside it.
Gilles Nuytens: What attracted you the most in Stargate? DrymWyver: The possibility of new worlds to discover beyond the event horizon. I would love to have my own Stargate and travel to far off worlds and see things no one has ever seen before. If anyone ever finds a real Stargate, I want to be first in line. I am an explorer at heart. My expertise in reality is Archaeology. That's what I have a degree in.
Gilles Nuytens: You were a real soldier at one time, do you use your own personal experience in this book? DrymWyver: Yes. A lot of my experiences in the military are used in the storylines for the book. In actual fact a large percentage of the group in the online game are military folk and Vets from various wars. They bring added reality to the game itself. We know what to expect and when to expect it. That's what makes the game great. It will hopefully allow our readers to feel like they are part of the storyline as they read them. We give visualizations on the written word.
