Club PA Newsletter #108
🕑 Added 2024-04-15 16:00:11 +0000 UTCAs I'm sure I related many times, not least of which at the Club PA Super Secret Squirrel meeting, but there was a profound amount to just… feel, at the first of our 20th Anniversary Shows. Mork and I have collaborated on a strip that has one of his favorite joke-forms and I try not to withhold that pleasure from him.
It's not quite a situation where I've been doing PAX longer than I haven't, but damn. I've certainly been doing it a long time. As the weirdo blend of introverted extrovert, cons in general are a complicated environment for me. I require both things to actually be okay, but they can get out of whack in a place where the Being With Or In Front Of People part is rigorously scheduled. It used to be much harder, and now it's just… PAX. I had to develop a bunch of new skills. I didn't really have those skills in the San Diego Comic-Con era - I would just sit in the chair and vibrate, unless I was eating a sandwich literally under the table.
But, yeah. Thanks for putting up with it while I learned those skills. Mike is more of an introvert introvert, like… introvert x2. He's like if introversion had a sequel with a much larger budget. My role generally is just to bring him little shiny things; he doesn't necessarily need to approve of it, it's just the dynamic. I'm essentially his trained crow.
Alright! Back to the word mines. Now that the Omin/Jim novel is in a place I like, I'd say it's gonna come out soon, I can get down to writing this gay romance novel. I can reveal the title:
Dranmagic! The Incredibly Gay Version Of The Acquisitions Incorporated Book That Might Actually Be The Real One
Perpetually Mining Words,
(CW)TB

I thought I was an introvert for a long time, but at some point in my 30s I think I figured out I'm an extrovert with social anxiety! So that's fun.

I know it's still 'correct' but seeing 'windigo' instead of 'wendigo' unnerves me. Maybe it's my North East US upbringing, like when weird people call soda 'pop'.
