Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Game

Ever found yourself torn between playing Zelda or watching Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog? Thanks to the pixel artistry of Philadelphia’s Doctor Octoroc, you now longer have to choose! To accompany his new chiptune cover album of Dr. Horrible songs, Doc Oc has re-imagined what Joss Whedon’s popular musical series would look like as a top down adventure video game. Although the look of the visuals is inspired by the feel of classic games, Doctor Octoroc’s version is not actually playable. You can watch the first act of the Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Game here (or watch it on the Youtubehole).

I feel a bit better. Deb thinks the book is great, and she's not a chain-yanker, so my ego is on its way to being restored.

Allyson, I think it's great, too.

I don't really understand why it didn't sell to anyone. In my head, it's a pretty good little book.

Maybe it's just bad timing and it's not the kind of story people are looking for right now.

Yeah, I've spent a ridiculous amount of time reading agents' blogs (for someone who has no interest in writing a book), and it always seems like actual quality is only the first hurdle.

Wishing you lots of luck going forward, Allyson.

Picked up my taxes to mail. Holyfreakingrefund, Batman!

It is. But in this marketplace, everyone wants to be sure they know how to sell it, and move those copies. Publishers are gun-shy right now. Or I should say even more gun-shy than usual, when it comes to outlay of money vs. possible profit.

more gun-shy than usual, when it comes to outlay of money vs. possible profit.

Just about everyone came back with a, "cute book! No money," rejection.

I wonder if I can use these as cover blurbs.
