Doctor Who: Sleep of the Dread Audio-Drama Script

One of the things I’ve never really done is fan-fiction of any sort. Generally, anytime I’ve sat down to write a property owned by someone else, it has always been for a job I’ve been hired to do. Even growing up, outside of dabbling in an ElfQuest fanclub back in high school, it wasn’t something [...]

The Rule of 7 Iconic Moments in Storytelling

Indy Publishers Stop Whining About Retailers Buying What Sells

Over on Facebook, I saw an indy comic publisher friend post a bit of a rant on how retailers are foolish for only ordering books from Marvel/DC. About how buying comics (or “over-buying” as the poster puts it) from the Big Two just because they sell is a bad idea. He also goes on to [...]
