| Scott Allie talks about the news: |
[Jan. 7th, 2010|12:30 am] |
Gerard remains wrapped up with MCR's new record -- finishing recording and doing publicity for it even before a title has been announced -- so we're not yet making progress on the new Umbrella series or Killjoys, although he hopes to start writing comics again any day. We had a great talk the other night. I was shopping for a frame for a painting Scott Morse did of Spider-Man for my son, Sid, when Gerard called. Jon Rivera, the cartoonist who does the Umbrella Myspace page, had emailed Gerard to tell him about an earthquake in a resort area of Brazil. Gabriel was vacationing around the holidays, and Gerard got worried.
I was struggling with the automatic checkout on a Saturday evening while talking on my iPhone, so I had no quick way to check about the Twins and Brazil -- I'm not very good at online research anyway, so I probably would have been equally useless at home in front of my laptop. But I do get good ideas sometimes, so I told Gerard to check Ba and Moon's Twitter feed. Lynz did it while we talked, and she said Fabio had just written "This year is going to be a blast" -- so we decided probably he and his brother were okay. Thank the &%#$in' Lord. 2009 was a rough enough year. Check out the Twins' latest work on Daytrippers, their series at DC Comics, where they're joined by Umbrella colorist Dave Stewart.
Gerard and I spent the rest of the phone call talking about the My Chem record he's working on -- they're going deeper and deeper into an idea, and as much as I wish he was back on the comics, he's got a tiger by the tail. This band thing might really be going somewhere . . .
We also talked about the Umbrella movie, which is proceeding. Gerard's been pretty hands on with the screenplay, which is in great shape now, thanks to our excellent writer, Mark Bomback. We're getting interest from directors, and once someone's hired, this movie's happening.
But soon, very soon, we're gonna start work in earnest on Killjoys. Shaun Simon and Becky Cloonan are ready to roll. And Gabriel is asking questions to start shaping up his schedule for the year. Hopefully I'll have some more news for you next month—

| Star Wars Invades Facebook! |
[Jan. 3rd, 2010|11:21 pm] |
In case any of you in the Livejournal world are interested, I'm storming facebook, starting immediately.
If you're on facebook, check out my group: http://www.facebook.com/#/group.php?gid=234110592540&ref=mf
Here's the idea: Last month, someone started some crazy fad on FB, wherein huge numbers of people changed their profile pics to different Pokemon. Well I say it's time the Empire Strikes Back-- so I've started a new movement for January 2010-- Change your profile pics to STAR WARS CHARACTERS.
Will you join me? Let's take over facebook together! |

| Jawas Read, Too! |
[Dec. 29th, 2009|03:24 pm] |
I've been writing book reviews for a little over a year now and while I do post them all on my personal LJ, I've also been doing a separate blog just for the reviews.
This is Star-Wars related, because as a Star Wars fan I had to give the blog some Star Wars flair! It's called Jawas Read, Too. There's Jawas involved and yes, I do review Star Wars books! Since it was only started in August, there's only 2 Star Wars books up there, but I've reviewed everything else of the past year on my personal LJ. But if you're interested in reading other SF, Fantasy, YA, Literature, or a variety of other books, you're more than welcome to come check it out!
It's made specially for book worms with a warm, fuzzy feeling for that galaxy far, far away. :) |

| Star Wars Epics |
[Dec. 26th, 2009|08:59 pm] |
Star Wars Epics (also known as Epics) is primarily a play by post roleplaying site, with forums dedicated to Star Wars discussion as well as media, culture, entertainment, and current events. Set 12 years after the Battle of Endor, the site is currently setting the bar as an independently owned and operated, unofficial, not-for-profit, roleplaying-centered Star Wars website, with a blossoming, entirely flame-free fan community. The use of the word Epics is no attempt to exaggerate the quality of the site; rather it is an attempt to show an aspect of the site's roleplaying which is unique to the genre: each member, from the original founders circa 1999, and everyone that has joined since, can trace their original characters from their first "introductory post" through one continuing massive story, up to today.
Why should you join Epics?
Longevity: Star Wars Epics has been in existence as a roleplaying group in various forms since 1999 and has grown steadily, despite jumping formats several times.
Originality: Star Wars Epics has been copied more than once, in both design and content, by more boards than we can count. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, in our opinion -- but we still try to stay one step ahead.
Management: Every admin reads every post made on the board every day, responds to every PM, is accessible on various IM devices, and every question posted by anyone is answered in 24 hours or less -- usually our replies are within minutes. Oh, and we actually roleplay in the stories ourselves too!
Activity: Star Wars Epics doesn't pad our number of daily posts with spam threads, or spamming in hidden forums, bumping old topics, misrepresenting our member count, or hacking our "members online" list to show fake visitors. What you see is what you get, and we feel that honesty is the best policy.
Community: Star Wars Epics is entirely composed of mature, intelligent people of all ages (17-40+), all of whom get along with each other and with the staff. Our board is drama-free, and we have had to hide threads or edit posts for content only a handful of times, in the entirety of our online existence.
Talent: Let's face it, we're good. Admins from other Star Wars roleplaying sites have eschewed their own boards and come to our site to write when they want quality roleplaying.
But don't take our word for it. Here's a sample of our roleplays (chosen at random from our recent threads):
The Fifth - a Free Zone story (bios aren't required in this forum)
Treason: A Rogue Squadron Tale - some of the New Republic's finest find themselves framed for treason and murder
Bravi'os: Requiem - a Star Wars horror story
Imperial Renaissance - the rebirth of the Empire 12 years after Endor
Epics Infinities - what might have happened had the Empire won at Endor?
And here's a collection of unsolicited praise we've received: Praise for Epics
