Up with the sun

Is Judd Winick Judd from the San Francisco Real World? And the boy actually has talent?

I am surprised. What's he working on?

Is Judd Winick Judd from the San Francisco Real World? And the boy actually has talent?

Yes. One and the same. And yes, the boy's got talent.

Outsiders, Batman (starting with 626), and I'd have to check on the rest.

(Though the Dustin Ngyuen doing the Batman art is NOT the one from 21 Jump Street.)

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Winnick's first big breakthrough was, in fact, a graphic novel about his friendship with the late Pedro Zamora, also of RW SF. Called Pedro and Me, and while I've never read it, it was very well-received.

Ladies, gents, and otherbeings, I bring you, The End of the World. Aka, Apocalypse_Latr, an LJ community dedicated to the proposition that fanfiction is good, and fanfiction about the apocalypse, via natural disaster, plague, or--my personal favorite--alien invasion, is better.

All fandoms welcome and enthusiastically received, with the possible exception of My Little Pony. Cause we're wacky that way.

C'mon in, the water's fine!

I also keep forgetting about his stint on Green Lantern, which got a lot of press for some of the storylines dealing with gay bashing.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I liked Pedro and Me -- it's pretty clear, from the style, that Winick started out doing funny kinds of comics rather that adventure-stuff. Considering I watched it on television and knew the events of the novel front to back, it was a good retelling, affectionate, funny. Geared at a teen audience, I think, which is sort of odd because today's teens were like 5 when that Real World season came out.

Yahtzee offering potential Whedonverse fic, including possibly a "Phoenix Burning" sequel, for donations to the John Kerry campaign.

Given that she left the Whedonverse with no small amount of bitterness over plot developments, this might be your last shot at it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

shalott and Ellen Fremendon have also offered up fannish contribution, from drabbles to vids to shalott completing her Harry Potter series.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I think it's kind of neat, the whole fan the vote deal. Not sure how well it'll work, but you know. Every little bit and all that.

The bids on shalott's vid offer are up to $250.
