Cher2a Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Cher will you be charging for your autos? that would just be a little strange!!!!! glad the rumours fo your attendence weren't false, will be great to cu surfy sah xx Hi, Sah! Indeed, the "rumors" (there were rumors?! You guys were rumoring about me?.. ) were true Don't worry, I shant be charging for autographs (that would be weird, wouldn't it?). We will be selling copies of our comics, and shall be signing them, but that is all. I am so excited about this! It will be awfully strange, but I imagine a lot of fun It will be great to see everyone again! I miss you all very much. Being a full-time comic book artist and writer does not pay a great deal, so sadly funding convention trips is a difficulty these days. Still, we (myself and Ian live together) are getting there! Hopefully by this time next year we shall be regulars yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cher2a Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Wow Cher I didn't realise u were a big comic gal!! I did notice u hadn't been on in a while... I just remember I had to find u in one of those forum games, then didn't, n still haven't met u lol! I should come say hi Yes, do come and say hi! I'm not "big" as such... I'm getting there, though! I'm colouring the official adaptation of Kong Of Skull Island, the prequel to the film(s) at the moment, and my writing is really kicking into gear at the moment, with several comics and a book being released this year. Sadly the writing will not be available at G-Mex because we have completely sold out of both issues of Eleventh Hour, and the 'Collectors Edition' is not due for release until the end of March. Still, we will have plenty of copies of Contraband (which I coloured)! See you there! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I demand these guests at Milton Keynes as well so I can catch up with Cher and Ian and let the soon to be brat dribble on their comics Aw, sowwy hon! I'd love to be a Guest at CollectorMania Milton Keynes (that's in a whole other league of cool in my book ) but I don't think we'd fit in! Lol. We'll (Ian and myself) try really, really hard to make it just as normal, convention-going people, but with the financial situation... Well, it isn't likely, sadly. Unless anyone wants to offer me and Ian a room to crash in? Anyone?.. Still, we shall try. We may be able to make it up for just one day if we go via bus in the early-hours and travel home in the evening... We shall see. But, hey, on the bright side, if we do make it to Milton Keynes we will have copies of Eleventh Hour handy (want a free one? you can have one of my copies if you like!) if anyone wants any, but obviously we will not have a table or anyone so you guys will just have to hunt us down and ask us for one. Fingers crossed! Ps. *Big hugs*! I miss you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really read many comics but might be willing to give yours a try. Hey, Daniel. Thanks a lot! We wont have much stock with us, though, sadly, so if you want to give ours a try, come nice and early. Cher maybe you and Ian can get the NX? sucks that the MB no longer opperates via MK grrrr just looked at NX for you and it would be £25 return for both of you in total on the Saturday, there are no funfayres as far as I can see maybe it's just too early? keep an eye on it though and maybe check trains for day return? looking forward to seeing you! surfy sah xx I checked the National Express a couple of weeks back and they had plenty of FunFares, so they must have sold them. I haven't got a penny to my name at the moment (£4 in my account I believe) because of a mess up by my bank (£50 magically disappeared...), but I'm borrowing money from a friend and will probably book my travel tonight.
