Journal Entry: Sun May 4, 2008, 9:48 AM
Okay! I'm really sick and tired of seeing the same journal entry on my page, so...hi. -waves happily-

Here's what's gone down in the past...oh, month and a half:

1.) I've managed to get happily settled into my new apartment; my action figures and comic books have places of honor and I couldn't be happier.

2.) As you know, the artist I had attached to my comic book mini project bailed out on me. That's okay, the joke is on him and I'll explain why in a moment.; the first six issues have undergone quite a few revisions (you can read the scripts here, if you're curious) and I'm pretty happy with them. They're threatening to expand into a continuing series of minis (which was always the plan, but I didn't think the franchise would start to explode inside my head to the size it has), and I'm preparing myself to go on the hunt for another artist. This time around, I intend to publish the comic as a webcomic first, page by page, then when it's done, I'll shop it around to companies. If nobody wants it, self publishing and selling via the web it'll be!

3.) I went to and worked at CODcon in April (it's one of the midwest's biggest gaming conventions) and--here's where the pointing and laughing at my former artist comes in--met a publisher who was the guest of honor. He chatted me up (I went in costume on the last day of the con, you see--Golden Age Catwoman, to be precise--so I was approached by every Tom, Dick and Harry that wanted to meow to me all day), and when he asked what I do when I'm not working cons, I informed him I'm a freelance writer (before I even knew he was a publisher, mind); I told him about Discordia and I wound up giving him my e-mail address. A couple weeks later, he wrote me, telling me that he's looking to expand his small press company with more authors and I expressed interest (obviously; I'd be an idiot not to). So I am in the proverbial tub of butter on the merits of my personality alone.

4.) Six more comic book series are in the works now: Villainy (a kind of riff on the Gotham City villain archetype aesthetic, which follows the antagonists rather than the hero of the universe), A Fool's Errand (a sword and sorcercy pieces which is the equivalent of a D&D campaign on crack), Discordia: Chaos Rising (sequel to Discordia: The Unraveling), Penny Dreadful (what I've really been dying to write, a Chaos! Comics Bad Girl-esque mini series), The Pessimist (a humor/parody riff on superheroes, based on a short story I wrote ages ago) and Noctem (a character driven, post apocalyptic supernatural vampire vs. werewolves vs. witchcraft vs. crusaders tale).

5.) As requested by a load of my fans, non-profit anthologies of my fanfiction are now available in print form on my website.

6.) The fanfiction awards I run, The Skiffy Awards, which celebrate the best character centric pieces around, are in full swing once again, taking up what little free time I have when I'm not working.

7.) The CATverse, which is a labor of Batman fanfiction love between myself and one of my best friends, has expanded to such monsterous proportions it's starting to scare me...but it'll also be drawing to a close sometime within the next year, most likely. It's even got fanart, which you can find in my favorites, in the collection 'Giftage' (go look, seriously).

8.) There are...um...-counts- four original novels in the works, currently, though I'll admit I've been slacking more than a little bit on those. One is a reworking of a fanfiction storyline that I came up with years ago, two are retellings of fairy tales (Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood) and the last one is a coming-of-age caper with two unwitting, accidental criminals at the forefront.

So, my friends! That's a fraction of what I've been doing with my time, and I should really be cleaning my apartment right now. so...later.

Oh, and: if you haven't seen Iron Man yet? Do. Seriously. I pretty much danced my way out of the theatre, I was so happy. And stay after the credits!
