So for those of you who don't know, which honestly should be everyone reading this I was invited to create a black and white comic for a local publication. Its called BAAU (Bay Area Artists Unite) Down 13, a book that showcases talent from around the San Francisco bay area. I was extremely lucky to be in the book last year with a couple of...

Ten Years Later
Cindy waited outside the strip club for the dancers to emerge after closing. After nearly ten years of searching she knew that one of the dancers that was inside was the vampire that had saved her life. When Cindy woke up the next morning after being attacked without the incredible pain of the cancer that had threatened her...

The year started and ended with the worst news possible for my wife. At the beginning of the year she learned her father would be leaving us (He passed away in April) and at the end of the year her aunt joined him. To say she was heartbroken would be like calling Superstorm Sandy "inclement weather."
It has not been all bad news for my...

Yes, you've had a wild ride. Jean Grey is a beauty. I hope you have more ups than downs in 2014. Congrats on being chosen for the book.
bromopar:
@adelina Thank you, now I just need to get the darn thing drawn up.
In case you missed it this is part one of this story. Make sure you read that first or the rest of this will make no sense.
“Excuse me miss, but do you need a ride? Its dangerous to walk alone out here at this hour.” some strange man said to Julie from his car. Julie walked towards his car and leaned on the roof...

That was unexpected!!! I never saw it coming. Good job. I was expecting a cat fight between Julie and the wife, but am pleasantly surprised that wifey gets to "live forever."
bromopar:
@adelina Thank you but *spoilers* she does not. It does, however, create the dynamic between Julie and the wife that becomes the basis for the rest of the story.
Julie sat in the strip club dressing room after closing staring at her mirror like she expected it to talk to her. Julie was only wearing a thong and her make-up and a small bag of street clothes sat on the floor next to her chair. Smoke rose from the tip of the cigarette in her hand into the air just over her head and...

@adelina There is actually a lot more to this story. Stay tuned.
adelina:
Look forward to reading more.
Last year just before Christmas we got word that my wife's father had terminal cancer.
This year just after Christmas we get word that my wife's 98 year old aunt suffers a heart attack and passes away shortly after.
Next year I think we're going to spend Christmas on the moon.
adelina:
Oh no. I am sorry. *hugs*
mydogfarted:
Merry Christmas to you both.
adelina:
Awww!! Merry Xmas, cuties! <3
My daughter wanted to watch Episode IV today and while we were watching the now infamous "Han shot last" scene in Mos Eisley Cantina passed by and I decided I could no longer keep this to myself.
If your biggest beef with that scene is the shooting order of Han and Greedo then you're missing out on the (much) bigger picture.
The scene is a...

This is where we differ. I HATE the prequels with everything that I have in me. The fact that it seems to be expository and, quite frankly, just an unneeded addition to the franchise in my opinion, the fact that he strayed from his strong stories and tried to compensate with the overuse of the digital visuals was just appalling. However, I am the only person in the world with a soft spot for Jar Jar ahahah
bromopar:
@psypher We can agree on Jar-Jar. I laughed my ass off when I saw Episode I for the first time. people keep bitching about how silly he was and I was like "Duh! That's the whole point!" but what can you do? I'm sorry but I will defend Lucas' decision to write his own story to my dying day. The books are great on their own but in the end books =/= movies in any way. I've always HATED seeing books translated onto the big screen, it rarely works unless you use the movie as a kind of reboot of the book and retell the story.
I have a blog elsewhere that I use for my venting. I was using it for video game reviews for a while but have since stopped because I'm po and can't afford to buy new video games all that often.

Well, I hopped on over to your bloggy blog and I must ask--Is there anything that you haven't written about?lol
bromopar:
@adelina Thank you. She was going to be the main character for a webcomic but with Shadows of the Bat looming large I may not make it. Didn't want the art to go to waste, however, so I posted it here. Yeah projectile vomits. You have me beat in that department.
As I stare down the barrel of probable rejection I'm left with a serious choice. What will I make if not "Shadows of the Bat?" Should I make more fan fiction from other titles? Lord knows I've got plenty of that kicking down the creativity door in the front of my brain. Titles I've admired since my youth like:
The Dirty Pair:
Transformers:

And in response to your blog post question: It seems that you have an endless surplus of ideas. You have so much to work with! I can't really say what should be next up for you. Just remember that most artists/writers were "rejected" many times before gaining success.
bromopar:
@adelina Oh god I have no idea. I've never tried to contact a celebrity in any capacity before much less to offer up my creativity for their critique. I imagine it will be sometime after the holidays are done. I know he just finished filming "Tusk" just a few weeks ago so with that on his plate he has a lot to do before he gets to my fanboy ass. Oh and yes, I have just come up with another idea so my reservoir is overflowing.
Once again this blog is Adelina's fault so if halfway through it you're asking yourself "Why the fuck am I reading this?" then go blame her.
In her blog, @adelina mentioned a Fox Business program that spoke about the "skyrocketing and unprecented availability of pornography" and somehow made a direct link between that and the decline of rape and sexual assault cases. I thought about...

@adelina Even when I was 8 (back when dinosaurs ruled the Earth) I didn't believe any of that. Somehow I knew even then that adults wee just trying to scare me away from something they didn't like.

(In best King Arthur from Holy Grail voice) You lie! lol. @adelina
My lady love and I enjoy expressing our sexuality very much and that includes with other people. Lately however, there has been some confusion amongst us about whether or not what we do falls under the polyamory label. We both have our own definitions of polyamory and the two conflict with one another.
Her definition: "Poly means we both date other people sperately."
My definition:...

@adelina We were just talking about this literally twenty minutes ago. I'm not sure we're going to remain poly but for now we're both taking each other out of circulation.
adelina:
Good to hear. Nothing wrong with a nice good ol fashioned exclusive relationship.<3
