Describing two things I need to look into later, "atomanotes" and ?The Language of Invisible Worlds?
(tags:books )Charles Stross: Books I will not write, #1 (of an ongoing series)
"These are book proposals that caught my attention for long enough that I made notes on the topic, in some cases pitched them at my agent or a passing editor or even a potential co-author. But for one reason or another, the opportune moment never came; or the editor was...
On Wildstorm, At The Beat
The second of these notes I've been asked to do about the closure of the Wildstorm imprint has gone live at The Beat. Covers different stuff to the other one.
Once again, I hope that everyone at the La Jolla office is okay.
The Impossible Girl – Chapter Two
The next piece of Kim Boekbinder's new album. Features a song called "Sex, Drugs And Nuclear Physics." Therefore you must listen to it, because, damn, how can you not love that? Click through to give Kim money for the pretty sounds, or pre-order the CD, or buy a t-shirt or even the mad Impossible Paper Doll that Molly Crabapple designed.
The Shine
Susannah Breslin on how she did not get a tv show on HBO. Funny and also kind of horrible. Which is Susannah's metier, really.
I was to pitch the show. This wasn't something that I really wanted to do. I called Lev, and it was pretty clear that he had not read the treatment. It sounded like he was at a kid's birthday party, which made talking about a show about porn awkward, what with small children screaming in the background and such.
(Don't read that site's comments, they obviously have...
On Wildstorm, At Newsarama

MAKING FUTURE MAGIC: The Book
Remember the MAKING FUTURE MAGIC video from BERG and Dentsu London that I showed you last week? The boys from the BERG are not done with it yet:
There were an awful lot of photos taken for the Making Future Magic video …Timo reckons he shot somewhere in the region of 5500 shots… a lot was left on the cutting room floor. In addition, we amassed a stack of incidental pictures of props, setups, mistakes, 3D tests and amphibious observers during the film's creation. Clicking through these...

Burying Things All Week
So I have mostly been writing obituaries for Wildstorm Comics at the behest of comics news websites this evening. I'll link them over when they go live, presumably some time tomorrow. But it would seem that the old firm is done. I assume that either my Wildstorm-published work will be allowed to go out of print, or it'll be reprinted with a big DC logo instead of any Wildstorm mark.
Wildstorm Comics, and its various editors and operators, were very kind to me, way back when, and it's a...
