I don't even remember that and it was my game.

Sounds like a hell of a party.

I mean, you kind of fucked off/got busy in the midst of it. Same thing with the dude who played Superman. Just poofed.

Why is it that you haven't published a comic?


Because I'm lazy and too much of a coward to submit my work to the critical public, so I stay here in my comfort-zone where I can get cheap dopamine hits from the occasional Like or Thank.

I would also say UDC 2013 was necessary for my personal and creative growth as a writer. Without meeting Andy, Bruce, Byrd, Eddie, Bounce, and so on I would've probably never attempted a first-person perspective or writing canon characters outside of fanfiction.net in general. The level of detail in my writing was pushed to the next level and I am genuinely thankful for it happening even if the game in itself was a hot mess where we accepted everyone and anyone with the GMs never rejecting a single concept. How the times have changed.

On a different note, this game now has as many OOC pages as it does IC posts.

You should change that, man. I believe in you.

Eh, I've been kicking around some webcomic ideas for if/when I manage to link up with someone who can draw worth a damn. Might see if I can make somethin' happen.

Is NR volunteering to personally fund Andy in this very expensive endeavor? That's incredibly kind of him. Everyone, give NR a round of applause for his generosity.

I see what you're saying. But here's something I mean with every fiber of my being: Fuck traditional publishing. For a beginner, webcomics can be free. Make your art, literally print it on toilet paper and abandon it at high schools and in coffee shops. Why would you want to waste your money so other people can disregard you alongside a thousand seemingly identical products when you can do it yourself and grab your audience by the throat?

While I understand where you're coming from, you still are dramatically underestimating the expenses required for even amateur webcomics. Ignoring time invested, without artistic talents of his own or someone willing to work for free while still being 100% reliable, Andy would need to hire someone to do the art. Which is a serious investment without a guarantee of return. And that's just the most superficial, basic obstacle. While venturing forward on your own and flipping the bird at conventional, mainstream publishing is all well and good - a path I fully support - it is not even close to being a financially secure decision.

Why wouldn't I have money? Because I'm a millennial?

Well, there's also the issue of time. I've got a full-time job, a circle of friends whom I try to make time for, a side career (well, at this point just a hobby) as a semi-professional actor, and about a dozen other interests and hobbies vying for my attention. If I'm going to start carving chunks of my days out for a dedicated project, it either needs to be something I know will be profitable or enough of a passion-project that I don't care if it bombs. And as much as I love reading comics and writing fanfiction, I really don't have a whole lot of inclination to sink that much time and effort into a medium whose audience has already shriveled to a fraction of what it used to be.

You're actually not a millennial. Mike is a millennial. You are generation z.

You aren't a millennial. Also no. Because you're a teenager.

....well, now I have to see this movie. In fact, once I track it down, we're doing a Google Hangout and we're all watching this movie.
