ReBoot

Prof WhizzyWig here. There have been a couple cool updates that ya'll should be made aware of regarding the ReBoot comic book. Check it.

First off, I'm definitely in the market for a new title for the ReBoot comic book. Several have been suggested but I'm not totally sold yet. That said, the first book will definitely (for now) be named Paradigms Lost. That was Slackbot's suggestion and I really liked it. I'm terrible at naming stuff so suggest away!

Smartens (our designer) and I met with Julian Lawrence (the editor hired by Z2H) last friday and we discussed the role of the artists and who will be doing what. We decided that a test page was necessary to determine each artist' s primary skills. Afterwards, we'll nail down what each artist will be doing. That meant I needed to churn out a page of script, which I did over the weekend, and passed around this morning. I'll probably post it later for everyone to check out.

Meanwhile, I've written a full page-by-page outline of book 1, and a short summary of book 2. I'm expecting that this story might need about 6 books to be told properly. I haven't outlined the rest of the books yet but I have it in point form in my notebook, so don't get attached to that number just yet. Tonight I begin writing the actual first book. Woot!

Meanwhile, many of you have been asking about the cookies I promised to send out for all those nice chappies that entered my Awesome and Another Awesome contests. Turns out that sending food to other countries is either impossibly expensive or simply impossible depending on where you live. Smartens and I are coming up with something better... something that might have value later on if you know what I mean.

ChiefZero has informed us that he intends to create a separate website for the Arrival team to blog and post material regarding the creation process of the comic. That's all I know about that right now, but stay tuned (as if you wouldn't).

I think that's it for now. Oh yeah - smartens and I are collaborating on a "marketing guide" for you guys to use to promote your CCN entries. It's a mish-mash of things we did during the ReBoot contest. It should be, um, rather interesting. Look for that next week, I think.
