New script, job hunting, other stuff

Just posted a new script, give it a look-see. I actually wrote this a week or so ago. I posted it over at penciljack to get some notes, and then I plain forgot about it until just now. Anyway, it's a fun, kind of silly, five-page short. I ended up with three and a half endings for the story. I think I picked the best one, but if anyone can think of a better one, feel fee to let me know and I'll tell if it's one of the ones I came up with.

So, hey, I happen to be really good with grammar and spelling and stuff, and also story structure and characters and things, so if anyone is looking for an editor, well, I'm looking for jobs editing. I will charge a modest price, depending on long the work is and how deep you want me to delve. I'll look at just about anything, comic scripts, short stories, long stories, articles. I will have to draw the line at slash fiction. Just saying. So hit me up, brendanhykes@gmail.com, and we can discuss. Really, it never hurts to get outside eyes on a project.

Also, in a similar vein, I'm looking to do more writing, and I'll even do that for free, so if you have a story idea that needs scripted, or just want to chat with a writer and see what we can come up with, let me know.

Oh, and also, I was recently contacted by someone looking to purchase a copy of Anonymous Nancy. So if anyone wants me to mail them a copy of either Nancy or Lunatic Fringe, hit me up. It's $4 for Anonymous Nancy Issue One (B&W 22 pages) and $5 for Lunatic Fringe (Color, 24 pages). I also have a Lunatic Fringe poster (12x18 in, color) depicting the cover image, for $3. Prices do not include shipping. E-mail me your address and I will give you the shipping costs with my paypal info.

Since I'm talking, I thought I'd bring up very briefly the big, ugly news going around. I know that most of you can guess which I'm talking about, I won't go into detail. Suffice to say that some people are dicks, and some of those people are people I've looked up to for a very long time, who've even shaped my writing in some ways, and that just makes me sad. Please call people out on their bullshit. At this time, in this place, in this industry, this sort of thing needs to be stopped. Maybe in some future utopia, where everything is more or less equal, it'll be fine for you to go around acting like a pig and we can just point and laugh at how childish you're being, but right now that shit hurts all of us.

Okay, that's the end of that mini-rant (for now). And I think that's all I have for the moment.
