Gail Simone's Blog, page 472

Gail Simone, is it true you are the Gordon Ramsay of Comic Books?

NO, DONKEY!

Miss Gail! Miss Gail! Any word on whether you're going to be at ComicCon this year? Having you sign my Red Sonja #1 would be the bees knees. I went to WonderCon in April - saw a few of your panels, but I was too shy and scared to come up and ask. >_>

Aw, truthfully this always make me very sad to hear, I LOVE meeting readers, it’s the only reason I go to conventions.

I have been to every SDCC for the past ten years, but I think I am giving it a pass this year due to too many appearances elsewhere. It’s not a lock, yet, but I think it’s very unlikely. SORRY! 

But next time, come say hello!

But don't you have a son? how did you react when you found out you were having a boy?

UNBRIDLED RAGE!

i will still admire and love you even though you hate and ignore me. you have put me in the fan zone.

Okay.

That made me laugh hard.

BUT YOU ARE STILL A DUDE AND DON’T YOU FORGET IT.

Do you have any tips on ignoring men and hating all men thank you

Yes, I absolutely do!

First, find a man.

Second, apply lots of hate. Be sure to get in those tricky folds and corners.

And that’s it! It’s easy AND fun!

It helps sometimes to think of Firefly being canceled, I am told, but I haven’t tried that personally because I’m not a NERD.

Aren't you married. How has your husband taken the recent revelation of your man hating?

Like a trooper. 

I informed him that I now hated all men, and he said that’s fine, and then he went off to play Tomb Raider. 

If I didn’t hate all men so much, I would love him even more.

Hi there! I'm going to be attending Tricon this weekend and I'm sooooo excited to see you! Will you be doing autographs? And if so, how much will they cost? I would love to have you sign my Red Sonja volume. :)

Yay!

I don’t charge for autographs ever, and I am delighted to sign as many items as you would like to bring. Bring a stack!

What kind of music do you listen to? For some reason I have these images in my brain of you jamming to Styx and The Eagles or dancing through your home swinging a lacy cape while listening to Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks.

NONE OF THOSE.

I like punk. I like a lot of singer/songwriters, I like the Who and the Beatles and the Kinks. I like Sparks and the Finn Brothers. I like a lot but my BRAIN IS FREEZING UP.

Truthfully?

I wish I could be a LITTLE less skeptical of all the creators who suddenly are on the internet saying women are human beings when they have never even brought the topic up in the past.

Particularly when it’s creators who I’ve seen openly ignore women who critique them while they RT the dudebros who are telling the women to shut up……

Yo dudes.  We see you.

Yeah, some of these same people were fine with frat boy bullshit leveled against female creators and readers, and with treating female characters like hated ex-girlfriends.

If this was important to them, why is this week the first time they have ever stated it?

Truthfully?
