Hey, does anyone besides me miss the community that used to surround the Sequential Tart messageboards?
If so, go on over to the new LJ community, Tartsville.
I made so many friends through ST, some (*choke*) ten years ago when I was still slaving away on the first Vögelein book. The internets have largely moved away from message boards (with the exception of a few mega-blogs, like SA) and into social networks and individual blogs. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I still miss the original Warren Ellis Delphi Forums (the WEF) and what Tartsville once was. It's pretty useless to try and revive a zombie-board, but maybe the LJ approach will garner new fans and foster new conversations.
I've been stewing a lot lately about my relationship with Comics-as-a-whole, and trying to find where I can fit in, these days. I never fit anywhere as well as I did in Tartsville, and I hope that community will continue to reach out to the upcoming group of female creators as openly and warmly as it did to me, a decade ago.
Thanks to BossyMarmalade and all the rest for starting this new community. Now go join up!
