Comics/Games = OTP?

[revena]

Cerise is on hiatus this month (and there's a survey up in place of an issue, so we can gather some data to help us make the magazine better), but we'll be back in October with a special "crossover" issue with Girl-Wonder.org. The call for subs reads thus:

Cerise is partnering with Girl-Wonder.org for this special issue on comics in gaming. What are some of the best comics-inspired games out there, and what makes them so awesome? What about game-inspired comics? Can game designers learn anything from comics creators, and vice versa? How do comics and gaming communities overlap and interact?

If you’re interested in both gaming and comics, consider submitting your work for this issue. And keep an eye out for related content on Girl-Wonder.org in the month of October!

Submissions info is here, as usual, and you can always send me a message or an email if you've got questions or ideas you want to bounce around. I think it'll be a really fun issue, and I'm hoping to get some great content.

On the subject of comics and such, I don't think I mentioned that I wrote a piece for the first issue of Spoiler Space, G-W's new newsletter/webzine. You can read "On Being the Bigger Barda" in the online version, or download (and then probably print out!) the snazzy pdf version.

"On Being the Bigger Barda" was a fantastic article. Thank you for sharing it. I remembered that you'd gotten caught in some of the WisCon crapfest, but I didn't realize you'd taken such a direct hit.

I'm glad you liked it. I felt kinda flaily when I was writing it (of the "what am I trying to say, exactly?" variety), but I'm pleased with the result. And, yeah, the trolling thing was pretty much full of suck, and a fair amount of it ended up heading my way. There were lots of other people who got treated way worse, though. Grrr.

Great article! I loved your Big Barda costume, and all the other Birds of Prey costumes, they were awesome sauce.

Thanks! The costumes were a lot of fun. :-)

Okay, I'm a n00b. What does "OTP" mean?

[revena.livejournal.com]

"One True Pairing." It's a phrase fanfic readers and writers use to describe romantic pairings that they particularly adore, or that they think are meant to be.

I'm sorry that I suck and haven't done anything for Cerise in a while. I will stop sucking before the hiatus is over.

No worries. Everybody has a lot on their respective plates.
