Str8UpB1tch: DC Comic Universe 3/30 day challenge: Favourite DC Character
Easy enough this sassy lady.
This was quite a hard choice to make because I love Catwoman, Wonder Woman, Circe and Vixen to pieces. However, because we are talking about DC as a whole, it is certainly Black Canary. She is one of my favourite comic book characters period. I mean, this is the…
I love her too, and pretty much forever.
What do you say to the people who say that Kyle Higgins writes Barbara like she's got a stick in her butt? I'm sugar coating it, of course.
I like Kyle’s writing a lot. I try to allow other writers to have their interpretations of characters I am writing. It fits with my idea of the DCU as a multi-faceted gem that looks different from each slightly different angle.
I want a bit of freedom when I write a character someone else is writing, so it’s only fair to give a bit of leeway when someone is writing a character that is ‘mine.’

Hate to say it, but she’s no Kate Bishop.
Don’t you sass me, child.
I’m a 42 year old mother of 2. Yesterday, I *slept in* until 4:30am, got my babies up and fed, planned an Easter brunch menu, finished a batch of rewrites, worked all day writing more comics than you, managed to sneak in 30 minutes on the treadmill and a quick shower before grabbing my hilarious and brilliant husband, two amazing children and double-batch potluck dish and heading to a seder at the home of two of our best friends, where I *rocked* playing with my daughter and her new bow & arrow out on the porch.
Kate Bishop is great. I love Kate. But she’s a fiction, sweetheart, and she’s no fucking me.
Dear Kelly Sue, you are amazing and I love you. I hope I’m as awesome as you some day.
Kate Bishop wakes up every day WISHING she was half as cool as Kelly Sue.

Girls Gone Geek
Vanessa and Erika are two of my favorite writers on comics, I adore them, and I finally got to meet them at Megacon and they were every bit as charming, fun and lovely as I had guessed from their writing.
They did an interview with me, part one is up here:

There should be a quokka-themed superhero whose power is zapping bad guys with rays of adorableness so that they turn into blobs of jello. Agree?
Yes.
I had never heard of quokkas til arriving in Perth and now all I want to do is look at quokkas all day.
I'm not interested in writing for comics, but I'd really love to be an editor. I've got a meticulous eye for detail, I'm highly organized, and I have chutzpah enough to make the tough decisions and coordinate staff so everyone can be on the same page while
Again, those skills are important, but only the start. The editors at the majors are overworked and underpaid, they work really hard and don’t always get the appreciation they deserve.
Sadly, I have no idea who to send you to to get started. I’m sorry! I think a lot of editors started as interns, but I don’t know a thing about it. SORRY!
