I showed Instagram but Bluesky also needs to appreciate the absolute treasure I found at a thrift store.

Writing is weird and and fun and funny.

PLUS! I’m hosting a super cool comics panel on 9/27 @ 1pm with Daniel Kibblesmith, Tini Howard and @megfitz89.bsky.social !

A group of us wrote/made a film. I wrote the screenplay. And here's the trailer. Exciting! GAME Produced by Geoff Barrow (Portishead, Ex Machina) for his Invada Films. Directed by John Minton. Starring Marc Bessant and Jason Williamson of Sleaford Mods . www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZbC...

I'm a Guest at The Lakes International Comic Art Festival (LICAF) at the end of this month and signing there at La Belle Adventure at 11am (Sunday). I also have a spotlight panel at 2.30pm (Sunday), with @lucysullivan.bsky.social interviewing. Will bring new and secret stuff to show. See you there.

I will never be a good enough writer until I can break others the way TAZ Balance: The Suffering Game (specifically the OST track Wonderland - Round Two) breaks me.

This Sunday! Sunday Sunday Sunday!

There's this new wave of brilliant creator owned titles that are made with the blood and DNA of their creators. Mary Sue joins that ranks! Like, it's so perfectly Meghan and in that specific way, a book that is a delight to read and will connect with SO MANY people. Make sure you get your copy ASAP!

TODAY It’s fiction domination day at the London Podcast Festival! Camlann! Crowley Time! Wooden Overcoats with a new episode! And the Wolf 359 reunion panel! And it’s not too late to get a ticket, or to stream the shows from anywhere in the world, whenever you want for up to 7 days!

Here's a clip of KINGDOM COME audio promoting the new production, alongside Alex Ross's stunning art. Note: Alex is a genius, but you don't need to read along to follow our story. Your imagination can make its own pictures, and usually does.

Folks, if you're looking for an incredible, new comic book series, look no further! Be sure to preorder MARY SUE by the incomparable @megfitz89.bsky.social!

Just read @megfitz89.bsky.social's fantastic first issue of Mary Sue. Felt like a contemporary Last Action Hero (a movie I adore) through the lens of fan-fiction and internet escapism. Definitely pre-order at your LCS.

It's always surprising how my writing process has to include a larger than expected portion of Flo Rida and Pitbull.

Wow!!

My friend Meghan wrote this book! The art is gorgeous, and the story will strike a chord with anyone who's ever written fanfic. Check it out!

Taking a break from the exhaustion of self promo to SCREAM about @laurenshippen.com ‘s new audio fiction podcast TWO THOUSAND AND LATE - the trailer is live, the first two episodes drop next week, and I ATE IT UP LIKE CANDY. If you like Hazbin Hotel, Venom and Fleabag, WOW this is a show for us.

Happy Letterer Appreciation Day to @longtalljodie.com who I definitely put through the wringer on Mary Sue and ABSOLUTELY DELIVERED I mean LOOK at this first page. 😍

MARY SUE brings you right back to a time when your imagination was crucial for survival, when verbal fencing matches with your mom were do or die, and when you’d do anything to feel CHOSEN by something…anything. If you ever loved a story so much your heart hurt, this one’s for you. FOC TODAY. 💖✨

Please make sure to preorder this amazing book! I had a chance to read an early copy, and the way it takes me back to my own budding start as a writer is honestly pretty magical.

"A sharp, authentic coming-of-age story told through the eyes of a teen girl, blending witty chat-message exchanges with a spot-on depiction of fan-fic culture and high school life on the fragile edge of unpopularity." - @kris10simon.bsky.social MARY SUE Final Order Cutoff TODAY

here’s one for all you who know their AU’s from their A03s- @boom-studios.com's MARY SUE #1 perfectly captures the thrall and power fandom can provide ... although maybe it’s a bit TOO powerful for protag Cassie when her OC walks right out of her fic and into her life 😬 PRE-END CLOSE SEP 1ST!

No quite "last call", but if you haven't asked us for this already, do so soon of you want to be sure of snagging a copy. It looks awesome and it feels like the kind of book that will sell out...

I just read Mary Sue #1 by @megfitz89.bsky.social @lisasterle.bsky.social @dearbhlala.bsky.social @angienessyo.bsky.social and @longtalljodie.com. A perfect comic for anyone who has loved a fictional world so much it changed their life, for better and for worse! FOC is on 9/1 don't miss it!

Just a few days left before FINAL ORDER CUT OFF of MARY SUE on 9/1. I'm so proud of this book, of @lisasterle.bsky.social's amazing art, the gorgeous @dearbhlala.bsky.social colors, @longtalljodie.com 's spectacular letters, all helmed by @peachchild.bsky.social in a celebration of fandom.

We’re investigating HONEY DON’T this week, with terrific guest @megfitz89.bsky.social! Then we share some of our favorite moviemaking married folks. (Married to *each other*, that is) #filmsky maximumfun.org/episodes/max...

New Hungry Trilobyte, live from @fanexpochicago.bsky.social ! Talking Superboy, Spoiler, and Robin with @megfitz89.bsky.social YouTube link, see next skeet for audio versions

This is such a great first issue. A deep knowledge of fan fiction, a fun and thoughtful exploration of what happens when one’s Mary Sue comes to life. (I think Bernice Summerfield sort of did?)

I AM EXCITED ABOUT THIS BOOK AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO!

I feel like you can tell when I'm really into a book, and this is one of those. Everyone's working their butts off to make MARY SUE fantastic and fun. I was pulled in late in the process and feel very lucky that happened.

THIS IS GONNA BE SO GOOD YOU HAVE NO IDEA I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!

This looks so so good!!!! What an incredible team wow

This looks great!

Just a few days left before FINAL ORDER CUT OFF of MARY SUE on 9/1. I'm so proud of this book, of @lisasterle.bsky.social's amazing art, the gorgeous @dearbhlala.bsky.social colors, @longtalljodie.com 's spectacular letters, all helmed by @peachchild.bsky.social in a celebration of fandom.

Newest substack in my Countdown to Mary Sue series is up! This week's fandom is Supernatural... Part 1. PLUS A LOOK AT THE COVERS FOR MARY SUE ISSUE 2 FROM @lisasterle.bsky.social AND @sweeneyboo.bsky.social!!! open.substack.com/pub/meghanfi...

What have I been working on for the past couple years, besides comics? Alongside @jacksonlanzing.bsky.social and @collinkelly.bsky.social, I've been a writer on a brand new free-to-play AAA game from the team that brought you Rainbow Six: Siege. Get ready for MARCH OF GIANTS!

Spawn: Rat City 17 is in stores today. I'll be signing that and Laura Kinney: Wolverine and anything else you have this Saturday at @thegeekerynj.bsky.social in Matawan, NJ. The first signature is free, and each additional is $5. ALL the signature money goes to the Monmouth County Veterans.

I'm literally in tears watching other women react to finding out about Taylor Swift's engagement and all I can think is how healing womanhood is, how grateful I am to have curated my feed to show other women joyously celebrating with each other, happy for a woman we've never met.

In case you needed motivation to pre-order MARY SUE... look these GORGEOUS covers from @lisasterle.bsky.social, @paulinaganucheau.bsky.social and @tulalotayart.bsky.social 😍

I've been telling people that this book is like a 22 page lettering portfolio. Meghan's script is WILD and it's really letting me cut loose. Which is to say, you should be getting those orders in before FOC.

I am going to be first in line for this comic book, I strongly encourage you to follow my lead. I think Meghan, Lisa, and the team are going to knock us all out with Mary Sue.
