WRITING ABOUT WRITING AND DRAWING AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS - OH, AND A DOC FATHOM UPDATE!!

Just finished writing three blog pieces for SelfMadeHero - the first is about the inspiration for some of the .... design work for At the Mountains of Madness.

The second article is with regard to some of the architecture in the book.

And lastly there's a reasonably lengthy article about the actual process of adapting, which compared to the other two is relatively spoiler lite. But that said - these articles are otherwise spoiler heavy - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!

In other news: I was pleasantly surprised by some of the response that DOC FATHOM* has been getting! Now, if only I could find a way to make it so....
*For those only just tuning in....

Find a way!!! Much as I'm loving leafing through the Mountains of Madness and enjoyed the Holmes adaptations I would love to see Doc Fathom come to life. The World needs some Culbard pulp goodness.

I second the statement of my distinguished colleague.

Perhaps do it as a GN (through someone like Com.X or possibly Image in the US) and/or speak to Tharg about serialising it first in the Meg in that Tank Girl/Lily MacKenzie/Numbercruncher slot.

There must be a way.

Dare i suggest Kickstarter? I know a few people that have been very successful going that route.

Kickstarter isn't very useful for those living outside the US as you need an American bank account. However, I have been eyeing IndieGoGo which is international and lets you keep the money even if you don't reach your target, so it is ideal for pre-selling a book even to the point of raising the funds in advance to buy you the time to get the project done.

Emperor and Simon - thanks for the suggestions. Speaking to Tharg's certainly a possible and I shall look into IndieGoGo and take a peek at Kickstarter. Thanks again!
