The Dreaming #17 (2020) - "The Crown, Part Three"

[laughing_tree]

Neil Gaiman had provided some seed-notions from which something elaborate was hoped to emerge (at that point I had no idea how involved Neil was to be).

I was, I fully understood, just one of many others asked to pitch. (In fact there was an amusing few weeks afterwards during which every pub conversation with a fellow writer would begin with a fumbling conversational dance to determine, without breaking NDA, whether they too had been invited to contribute. They all had.)

I, being a hungry little shit, replied to the invitation with an interwoven outline for all the titles, offering to helm the whole event. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

As I recall a reply came back along the lines of “wow, we really respond to your ambition”... which is about as polite a way as I can imagine of calling someone an arrogant fuckweasel.

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

[icon_uk]

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like. Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

Sorry, a bit under the weather today, and it's a bit short notice to land it on my Co-Mods, so will simple leave out the list of new items, and leave it all in your more than capable hands, tentacles or other manipulative appendages (we don't judge).
