My New Project

I love a project.

If your a regular reader (hi mum) you'll probably already be aware of this but it bares saying again; I love a project. Just reading this blog for longer than twenty minutes will tell you that if I can tackle something head on and make a meal of it, I usually enjoy myself and get a greater commitment from it.

About a month ago I got an email regarding Out On Campus, a new LGBT student magazine with content directed to LGBTQ students, written and submitted by LGBTQ students. In the email there was a call for submissions  writers, graphic designers, photographers etc. You name it and it was pretty much there being requested. Apart from from a comic of course. I sent them an email explaining that I am something of a cartoonist, and offering my services.

The magazine will publish Bi-monthly from November, so twenty four strips for a full year unless holidays are a no go, in which I'll probably still make something up as print-syndicated strips are relatively easy to make compared to my usual A4 full pagers. I've spent the week thinking up an idea which will combine what I am passionate about with the LGBT nature of the paper and I think I have landed on something which will allow me to get out a quick punchline comic for print without too much explanation...

I'm still working on some of the finer points of it. It will combine my love of sci-fi and general nerdy shit with the LGBT nature of the magazine. It will also give me easy access to a quick punchline using abstract jokes combining the fantastical star wars universe with our ordinary gay stereotypes.

I will say that if this strip is taken up for the magazine I will be getting my arse in gear and publishing it on my new blog as well. I was going to hold off publishing a web-comic on my blog until I could get a regular update schedule and comic buffer up, but if I will be producing a comic bi monthly anyway, why not?

Stay tuned my lovelies, more on this story as it develops.

Addendum: Out On Campus are still looking for submissions and people to fill roles on their voluntary staff, head over to their website if your interested!

New Blog for You!

Hey all!

Loads of stuff going on right now. Just got back from a rather busy trip to Czech Republic and the wonderful FCC Cheer camp which I will blog about soon. Also I'm in talks with a new LGBT student newspaper and may be producing a comic strip for them so stay tuned for more information on that as well.

This update is basically to let you know that I am still alive, and after coming home from Cheer Camp with spirit coming out of my arse, I've decided to push all cheerleading related updates into a separate blog. So any of you who read my blog and are not interested in the musing of a cheerleader can stick around here. If you are the type to be interested in Cheerleading, you can head on over to my new dedicated blog:

Hang on a second...

After finishing my kinda-tutorial on css, I quickly checked to see how I've been doing in terms of traffic. Typically I've been pretty much zero, which is fine, I'm used to it. There is a feature on Blogger which shows you how people are finding their way to your web site, and what search terms they are using to find you. Here is from today...

Seriously?

First of all, who is searching for that?

Second, why the hell is google sending them here!
