BTW, Thank You, Everybody!

[the_gneech]

I just want to post a little thanks for everybody who's responded to my posts about sales, the future of SJ, and so forth. The feedback really means a lot to me and is a big help in sorting out my own thoughts on the topic.

Just to make things clear, in case anybody's worried, SJ is not going to going to suddenly be retooled to include humans, start including sex scenes, turn into insult/rant humor, or anything like that. SJ is going to keep evolving, the same way it has been from the start, but one of the most important things to me is that it continues to be something I can enjoy and be proud to have done.

'cos let's face it, if I'm going to do stuff I hate and am ashamed of for money, I could make more money as an editorial cartoonist. :P

When I talk about broadening my horizons, I mean just that -- expanding, not replacing. I expect to go to AC and FC pretty much every year from now on as long as they'll have me. But in addition to those, I'm going to start looking at things like ComicCon, A-Kon, and so forth. I have been very comfortable in the furry pond, but if, as bigtig says, I am a big fish there, then it's time that I start making additional forays into other ponds from time to time, if only to keep the furry pond from being depleted. ;)

We've caught -a- Gneech, not THE Gneech. We can't open the beach, this isn't the Gneech we were looking for!

Just makes me remember... Gneech somehow now makes me think of the Sneeches... Do you wanna be a Star-Bellied Gneech? :P

start including sex scenes
Not even Drezzer beefcake? Aww...

I refuse to say any more, on the onus that it may serve to incriminate me, and further, this is a family LJ. *grins*

Glad to here SJ will continue to evolve as it has. I like the progression and look for it to continue growing.

As for other conventions; I think that's a good idea. Too bad this didn't come up sooner cause there's one happening not so far from you this weekend that might have been good. From everything I hear I-CON would be a good one that takes in much more then furry.

Con-wise, I'm booked for 2005 anyway; I'm looking at the future. ^.^

A-kon? *eyes go big* Lets see... Usually A-kon gets about 10,000 con-goers there. I know that other genres sneak in pretty well. Mostly sci-fi geeks sneak in dressed as Stormtroopers or such. Saw a really cool Nightcrawler X-Men 2: X-Men United there. Usually a Neo and Trinity walking around here and there. Especially at the hentai festival.

And if you go to A-kon, you would meet almost all fo the staff of Antarctic Press (http://www.antarctic-press.com/) there. You can't miss them with the huge AP banner that they have at their booth. Usually Fred Perry of Gold Digger and Ben Dunn of Ninja High School and Heaven Sent are there. They also do a panel or two while they're there. Usually wearing their exclusive AP hockey jerseys with a penguin on it.

I live in the area and attend A-kon every year, so the gneech is already invited to share a table. :)

Please oh please oh please consider Conifur (http://www.conifur.org) sometime. Right now the website is way past due for updating, but it would be great to have you here!

mammallamadevil is trying to goad me into it, and it's certainly on my "Wanna!" list! :)

Good going, Gneech! I hope that you find as much success in your expanded field as you have in furry fandom!

Growth is a Good Thing.

Dunno ... when and where is it?
