T Campbell's Blog

Fans (nee Faans) is six years old today.

Done Today: Got a proposal out to Marvel (long in coming) and an application to that exciting job I mentioned yesterday. That job would also require a move, but this one would definitely be worth it. I don't want to say what the job is, but "it's like it's custom-made just for me."

Still, I can't let its enticing possibility keep me from finding other options. Tossed my hat in the ring for a local writing assignment and a second Tokyopop gig. Also took a test for an editing position at a local company, not comics, but not bad.

Speaking of comics jobs, is it me or is DC Comics hiring like crazy?

A friend of mine took issue with this blog entry, saying Edwin A. Abbott was actually a proponent of women's rights.

Easily confirmed. Well, shoot. I still find the book quite an uncomfortable read... and the reader isn't always to blame for a failure to communicate. A great deal of Victorian literature actually suggests than women are BETTER than men, so I don't think this can be explained as simply "the age in which he lived." Still, that's no reason to libel the man himself. Time for this blog's first sheepish self-correction. Always blazing new trails, that's us.
