oh so the league of their own tv show was not exaggerating at all 😭 (excerpt from strong women, deep closets: lesbians and homophobia in sport by pat griffin)

associate production editor at hachette book group & proud member of @hbgworkers.bsky.social 💘 i like comic books and evil vampires. they/them
that one daredevil comic where he’s trapped in the house that’s trying to kill him was so awesome
Okay so here's how this will work: - 48hr turn over -I will be editing: *single issue comic script up to 30 pages *Comic pitches from 3 pages up (I don't think I'll be useful for less! *Short Story length prose *Novelette turnover may be slightly longer -Sensitivity reads doable with discussion
i will likely post something more official in a day or two, but i'm interested in doing 48hr turnover single issue/pitch edits ranging from 100-200 depending on the requirements
It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

Only a teensy tiny fraction of books are truly rare, unique, or scarce. But the idea that people destroy the 1,921st copy of a book no one is interested in always freaks people out. They are appalled that libraries weed books, too.

here’s my midnight hot take. it irritates me seeing cishet white male comics writers whine on social media about their haters or engage in petty online fights with them
i wish peter allan fields had continued to write ds9 episodes after season 2. he works on a few but he’s not a regular writer after that. and his episodes are some of my favorites. i thought he had a good handle on kira and jadzia and was able to write them in a non-sexist way
i will also print new copies of my buffy poetry zine to give out at flamecon but i don’t know if anyone will be super interested in them but i will have them if anyone wants one
i love being an adult and doing whatever i want. i can use my money to order a bunch of printed copies of a comic i wrote and give them out to my friends and it’s allowed! it’s allowed. what a beautiful world
fyi i printed out a bunch of copies of this minicomic i made with @kindlespark.bsky.social and i will be giving them out at flamecon for freeeeeee
Not to soap box about this but i feel that ppl in the english indie comics space should hear it: creating doujinshi/self published comics without the stamp of a prestigious fair or an indie publisher does not make you any less of a comic artist. drawing comics makes you a comic artist.
Many bills upcoming, preorders appreciated! Also my Hitchcock, lesbian vampire, and Scream zines are all already released and available (I think there's only like 20 copies of the original rubber stamp cover of the Scream Zine remaining since a publisher is rereleasing it later this year 😱)
I have two zines up for pre-order: one is about the X-Men (#1 in a series) and the other is about some very odd movies that Elizabeth Taylor starred in. Each is over 60 pages and done in the format of a personal essay 💗 sara-century.square.site for this and my previously released film zines.
whenever emily wilson is in the discussion i like to brag that my friend works at norton and worked with her on her edition of the iliad :)

there should be a comic where the avengers are like “quick! we have to get rid of this bomb before it explodes!” and they throw it into the ocean and then namor flies out of the ocean and is like “hey, what the fuck”
Shout out to beloved geniuses @stephwilliams.bsky.social and @kharyrandolph.bsky.social on the announcement of their VIXEN ONGOING—TELL ME THIS ISN’T THE SICKEST SHIT YOU’VE EVER SEEN

the concept of adapting an epic poem into a movie is very good but i think we should also do it the other way around and adapt a movie into an epic poem

people love to say mystique marched for gay rights and it’s just not true. mystique doesn’t care about gay rights, she only cares about herself and her own little gay family. mystique would call the cops on gay people if it benefited her
