I concur!

Ian's dad saw these guys live at the festival up in Scotland earlier this year. I've met the guys a few times at conventions. They're cool.

Yes, I am still writing comic books, but for the time being I am pursuing a special project which I hope will raise awareness and money for certain causes and charities, rather than my usual 'Project Raven', 'The Reaping', 'Eleventh Hour', etc, titles, since as you can imagine I'd rather not have my ex as my boss right now - lol.

Hi Darling! Welcome back! Things are well, my conventions are over for the year, and in holiday mode. What are your holiday plans Cher? Holiday plans?.. Not Applicable - lol. Well, I had a lovely Christmas planned with my ex and his lovely family, but that is not going to happen... And my family do not celebrate Christmas, so I guess that I will be spending the holidays alone and without any presents or cards or trees or parties or anything... Miserable, is it not? Still, before I met him I was a right Scrooge, so I guess I shall just be returning to old habits. Perhaps one day I shall find someone to rekindle my holiday spirit, but right now I am all Christmassed-out. What about yourself? I do hope you are having a better holiday season than me! I should be back to my old conventioning habits next year, with new costumes and no controlling boyfriend (I should so never have have said yes to his proposal of courtship) to stop me being social.

A white Blade goes against everything Blade IS... A black Doctor is completely plausable because his DNA structure is altered for each regeneration...

Love the comics. Love the films. Love the series. It was shown a LOT over here, but not on Freeview or any of the Terestrial channels. It was on Bravo and Virgin. It is definitely worth a buy. It was sadly cancelled due to it being too expensive for the network to handle. It was really popular, but they could not afford to keep making it... Which sucks, because the finale was awesome! Hopefully a different network will pick it up... But it is doubtful...

Hi, Shabs, How are things? It's been a long time... I need to catch up on what I have missed!

Hi, everyone! Okay, so some of you will know me, and some of you will not. Two years ago, I moved in with a friend in Kent, and stopped posting on the Forums. I also stopped doing the convention itself. Anyway, said-friend became boyfriend, and said-boyfriend is now EX boyfriend, so I have moved back to London... So, after two years of being practically inactive, I have decided to come back... So, um... Hey? Lol. Long-time-no-see/post!

Oh wow... I didn't even know... That's tragic... He was such a talented bloke...

Cheeky monkey Will you be attending Nicky? I haven't seen you in what?.. Two years? Almost that, I should think... Maybe a year?.. I have no sense of time - lol - but I know it has been ages. Thanks for mentioning it Rich. Yes, a few comic creators and fans have actually asked me why there are no americans at LFCC, and I pointed out the fact that there is a major, major clash with one of the largest comic conventions in the world... Which is in the US, so really the US creators edge more towards that than a London convention they have never heard of... Still, hopefully next year you'll convince some of them... We need to take loads of awesome photographs of the event and get the comics industry talking positively about the event, so we'll get people asking to come, as apposed to being invited

Hi Shabs! I totally just realised that I didn't take a photograph with you at CollectorMania this year... Wow, there is a first! I'm shocked! Lol. Anyway, I'm just popping in to give you a buzz, and let you know the results of the Eagle Awards... Drum roll please... Yeah, we didn't win. Some comic that no one had ever heard of won, but all on the night were agreed that we should have got it (not just us)... Still, there is always next year, and a Nomination was very welcome and a big achievement! Next year I'm aiming for the Best Newcomer Writer title... Once I have my first OGN (Original Graphic Novel) out there... Fingers crossed on that one! Oh, and a head's up - I'm hoping to have a meet up for my Birthday this year, as I can't afford a Party but I am turning 21! It's a big one for me. Anyway, the meet up will probably be at some bar or restaurant down in Central London towards the end of August or the beginning of September... I'll email/text you once I have a date and time and place, since you are of course invited. Anyway, I must dash...

*ADORES*!!! Congratulations, hun. Sorry it was hard... But you got there in the end!

Pizza sounds good! I didn't have a picture either!. It was awsome meeting the Donavan! I will have my camera charges and ready for the next time, Nextime Gadjet, Next time. Lovin ya from here, Shabs Is that my new name? I am no longer "the Cher" - I am now "the Donovan"! (Yes, you spelt it wrong ) "The Donovan" is going to have a LOT of comics at CollectorMania. Please feel free to buy one. (Speaking of which - did you see the previews that I gave you last page? Also, you can now check out a promotional video for the new issue... It's pretty cool! Ian made it) Great that you can make it for Pizza. I will have to get an idea of how many people are planning on coming, so I can book us up, otherwise we'd be waiting hours for a table (or two)! Lol. So far I have Ian and myself (obviously), my friends (who have never done conventions before) Teresa and Cassie, Little Miss, Maegurwen, Nebbitt!! + partner, Hero Of Time (theoretically), and yourself. That's ten! Pizza will probably be Saturday after the Crew is dismissed. I know the Crew usually has a Party to themselves on Saturday, but that is in the evening, so I figure Pizza around 6ish should be about right. Am I right? I must grab you for a photograph at CollectorMania! I don't know whether I shall be in civilian clothing or in costume... We shall see. Who does the mighty Shabs think I should costume as? I know for my next London event (not LFCC - the one that must not be named) I am planning on doing a costume as a group... Which is going to be hilarious. Anyone that manages to realise who we are supposed to be gets brownie points and an imaginary bar of chocolate. As for CollectorMania, though... Well, I don't know! I was thinking of a load of options... So we shall see... I shall probably do a costume one day, and civilian clothes for the rest of the event, though. Any news on a Party? Or at the very least a get-together? I totally have to catch up with everyone! I'm not my old "Party Animal" self anymore (I'm getting old ) because I have, um, well... I just don't do it anymore. I'm too old, too fat, too unfit, too modest, and too mature to be that bothered by dancing and singing and jumping up and down, etc. Fancy a London meet-up at some point? Maybe a cinema trip and a bite to eat? I want to catch up with everyone! So, with this in mind, I am doing day trips and general meet-ups in London and Milton Keynes BEFORE CollectorMania (that means next month obviously), since obviously a lot of people will be too busy to hang out or I wont get much time with the people that I miss the most, etc, etc, etc. Let me know any dates you might be able to make it. I'm asking everyone, so I can sort a date for both MK and London. Anyway, I really must be off... I have comic to write, and a book to prepare for publication!

He better be! Oh, don't mention how close CollectorMania is, please... I have not one, not two, but THREE Conventions to attend that month (I can't mention the other two of course), one of which I am helping to organise part of all by myself! Argh... It's going to be painful - lol.

UPDATE: Apparently the organisers of the Eagle Awards messed up! A lot of the votes were lost... So, please, please, please, please vote again, guys! If it comes up with a message after voting saying that you already have, then your vote was counted, so that's fine, but if it says "thank you for voting", then it didn't register the first time. Remember, if you aren't a big fan of comics and don't know who to vote for (other than what I mentioned above), you can leave any category blank. Thanks everyone!

Harray for Unlimited Cards! I would totally be up for going to see Iron Man at Cineworld! Several times, probably! Lol.

Also, of course, a huge thank you to Showmasters for inviting us. It was a great weekend!

Hello, everybody! I just wanted to pop in and say "thank you very much" to all of you that came over to the stand, spoke with us, kept us company, asked us questions about the industry, and bought our comics. It was an absolute pleasure, and I hope that you enjoyed meeting us as much as we enjoyed meeting you. And of course I hope that you enjoyed your purchases!

Also, for absolutely anyone that is interested, you can now view the promotional video for the newly improved Eleventh Hour, available worldwide as of June 2008! Click here to view our video. Please feel free to email us through our website, Post on the Orang Utan Comics Forum (it's pretty empty so we appreciate the company - lol), or post a reply to this thread and let us know what you thought of our comics, the promotional video, or meeting us, etc.

Miss you already! It was awesome to see you this weekend, Shabs. I'm sad that I didn't get a picture, though, and I didn't get to say goodbye. Ah, well. On to CollectorMania (fancy Pizza?)!

Thank you! We shall all be selling comics and autographing them on request. I hope to see you there! Comic book numbers are very very limited, so come and see us nice and early if you want to make sure that you get a copy!

Does that include me, gah i havent seen you since....i dont know when...last year possibly! I'll be there and hopefully doing a little cosplaying, dont forget the digital camera hey cher, the comic looks good, count me in for a collectors edition....(well keep one by...) Hi, Maegurwen! Wow... My goodness... Yes, it has been ages! More than a year, surely? Anyway, yes - count yourself in for the Pizza gettogether, and for the copy of the Collector's Edition. Fancy a Volume 1 as well? That's the one with the worldwide release, that isn't due out officially until June, but we can be sneaky and give you special advanced copies... So you'd be one of the first people in the whole wide world to own one! Cosplaying, eh? I miss cosplaying... I don't have the figure for it anymore... But from the sounds of things, you have a nicer figure than me now, so congratulations! I can't wait to see how gorgeous I bet you look! And may I ask what you are costuming as? Or is it a secret? Probably more than a year. Yeah, sure. I should have enough money on me by may...hopefully. I dont really have the figure yet but i thought as i have most of the bits i need that i might as well do it. (i may be about 14st now but i cant hide from cosplaying forever.) I will give you a hint to both the characters, the one from ff7 was the only female in the group, but still dressed like the others. and the ff8 character wore a headband and a white polo neck. I really must cosplay again... Perhaps I'll save up a bit of dosh to get together a costume for CollectorMania... We shall see. It might be cool to wonder around as Raven (from my comic book Project Raven) for the day... Like I said... We shall see...
