About The Anons

I got a lot of kind messages and posts from very nice people who were a bit upset at the crappy things anons routinely send me here on Tumblr.  A bunch of them asked me how I handle it.

So, I’ll tell you the truth. It’s rough, it’s really rough. 

Honestly, sometimes they upset me so much I can barely giddily get to my computer to do the job I have dreamed of doing my entire life, where the biggest publishers in comics and prose pay me well and offer me far more wonderful opportunities than I can possibly take. So hard!

And seriously, I spend SO much time thinking about these anons that I can barely enjoy all the appearances and store signings where I get to travel all over the world in some of the most beautiful cities and countries anywhere,  and meet thousands of lovely readers who bring so much joy into my life, I can’t even explain it. Oh, the tragedy! 

And some days? Why, I can be so traumatized that I can barely make it to my grueling job, where I take the assignments I want, when I choose, and am forced to write on my back porch in the sunshine while wearing pajamas and drinking iced tea. It’s rough, guys. So rough.

And of course, we all know that these anons are clearly doing their dream jobs and topping the New York Times best-selling graphic novel list five times instead of the measly four times I have done that. Some days, the shame is overwhelming. 

I guess what I’m saying is, I muddle through somehow, despite the pain. 

Have to go, I have some Red Sonja pages I can’t wait to write and then my adorable husband is making lobster for dinner. 

I’ll struggle through somehow, I swear it!

Will we get more Strix appearances any time soon? You made pure gold with that character and Ms. Marx added even more coolness. Shows even characters who can't say much can say a lot! :D

I hope so, I love Strix!

Thank you!

Hey Gail! What would you say is each member of Secret Six's favourite song?

They all love She-bop.

Gail Simone is on a tear on twitter this morning.

I said some stuff.

Read this.

This is great but I really think someone should buy Gail Simone a blog so she does not have to write essays in the form of 400 successive tweets!

I didn’t intend to “write an essay,” or I would have written an essay.

I was on Twitter and posted some related thoughts.

So, a friend gave me a method to get the IP addresses of some of the anons who have been sending racist, homophobic and misogynist asks to me.

I’m thinking about it. It would be interesting, wouldn’t it?

8 Current Comics Featuring Awesome Ladies

8 Current Comics Featuring Awesome Ladies:

thelonelyskeptic:

So I buy a lot of comics. A lot. And since Tumblr likes comics featuring awesome ladies, I figured I should write a list of all the comics currently coming out featuring awesome ladies.

First, let’s start with the superhero stuff:

1. She-Hulk by Charles Soule and Javier Pulido

We’re…

A very good list!

Wait a sec... you WROTE for JLU? That's awesome! Double Date was one of my favorite episodes from the show! That was the ep that truly got me into Huntress! Awesome job!

Thank you, yes I did, it was a blast.

Having Bruce Timm and Dwayne McDuffie specifically tell me they wanted it to read like a Gail Simone script made my YEAR.
