Writers & Artists: What are you working on?

**c. page** · 10-26-2011, 09:23 PM

I am currently writing up creative deaths for my co-workers. Every Halloween, my workplace does a murder mystery game type thing, and since they feel I'm a good writer, the last few years, I've been writing up post-mortems revealing how everyone died. It's a fun challenge and a tight deadline, and people seem to enjoy them greatly. It also means coming up with fairly creative deaths, as you have 80 some odd people to kill in a one week span.

That sounds beyond awesome.

It's awesome and really fun (you get fun deaths like someone's cubicle explosively decompressing, for example), although a ton of work. Usually several hours of my night outside of work. But man, people love these things, which is always a good feeling as a writer.

I'm mentally preparing for NaNoWriMo.

I'm in grad school and working two jobs. It'll be rough. But I have an idea for a story I want to tell. It's got a bit of "Hard Candy" going on but it'll go in a different direction. Just hope I can sustain it.

Kill me, please! I seriously want you to kill ME!

It sounds like it will be fantastically intense for you with your current committments, but the idea sounds terrific.

Hey folks, I need an artist for a one page gag comic strip, six measly panels convert into one Christmas present.

Had an idea for a comic that might be better suited for a novel, now that I think about it, so I'm working on outlining that, currently to see what I can do with it.

If you're writers, what are you currently writing? Are you actively seeking publication? Already published? Just working on comics? Other media? (I write YA novels, but I would love to break into comics and am working hard to try making that happen. Um... one day. When I'm not drowning under deadlines.

You?

I'm writing a series based on my character "The Invisible Killer". He's slowly changing from the main villain into a hero really, as he becomes less of a killer and more a guy trying to stop the psychopathic G-man that's onto him and is out to kill him as opposed to capture him. I got plans for a True Blood fanfic. I'm working on a short ninja story. I got plans for a spy character of mine with ties to Japanese intelligence, the Yakuza, and the Mafia, and I've been sitting on this idea for an 8 part maxiseries crime-noir comic set in the 40's that's kinda like Ms. Tree crossed with Sam Spade. I also got an idea for this vampire romance story that involves this vampire couple that moonlight as goth musicians who are tasked by the Vampire leadership with taking out Vamps that break the laws of their kind, who slowly grow to care for this human family that's caught up in a war between two vampire gangs (one wants the mother, who is a telepath, and the other wants the daughter, who is a pyrokinetic, each one hoping to use their selected human to help them wrench control of the Vampire leadership away from the current ruling clan). There's a lot of touching stuff and a lot of sex mixed with buckets of gore and enough mayhem to make Croenenberg jealous. And some Twilight-y characters getting ripped to shreds.
