FIRST CON OF THE YEAR

26 March 2010 By dale 0

This week I made the final plans to attend Chiller Theatre Con April 16th-18th.  I know what you’re thinking, it’s a horror convention, that’s not exactly your main genre, Dale.  To which I would answer this. 1 - It’s not JUST a horror con, there’s a bunch of sci-fi and fantasy related things and attendees there; and 2 - Confirmed guests include Richard Chamberlain, Mayim “Blossom” Bialik, Rita Moreno and Sally “Hotlips” Kellerman.  Compared to those guys, I’m a perfect fit!

I’ll be there as part of the Dailey Swan Publishing contingent, selling and signing my novel, The Pub at the Center of the Universe.  If you’re in the area, swing by and say "Hello."

WWWW (The Wacky Worldwide Web)

21 March 2010 By dale 0

Monday brought home to me the downside of the Web Comic World. The upside is the connection with the readers - there’s no delay between the release of a new part of the comic and reader feedback. In some cases that can be words of appreciation from readers who are liking what we’re doing... sometimes it’s pointing out something we’ve missed and requires some quick typing to explain.

However, the downside that hit us this week was a complete lack of interwebs. For what felt like several days, the Luci Phurr’s Imps site was completely down. Now while it was only a couple of hours that we disappeared from view, that’s a big deal. For any of you guys out there that thought we’d gone for good, rest assured we’re still around and are already taking measures to make sure we have more control over that.

One of the unforeseen benefits of the downtime was that readers clearly went looking for us and found the Facebook page we have got more visits and a few more registered fans; and the Formspring page I set up to answer reader questions also had some activity.
