Hey, some of you may know Josh Fruhlinger from his daily newspaper comic strip commentary at Comics Curmudgeon. Well, now you can also know him from his United States President Slash Fic Blog, Hail to the Slash. Josh commissioned art from me for the title! I have provided the too-hot-for-blog extra slobber version to the left. The full and final version of the graphic can be seen at the site itself, of course, as well as lots of stories about Presidents sodomizing each other.
I am still cranking out the 100 “Crisis” poster orders! I have approximately 75 of them in the mail. What complicates things is that this is also the week that my three literal tons of Dumbing of Age book 1 and Shortpacked! book 1 reprints arrived! (See top image!) And so I’m also working on those at an equally furious pace. I will probably have… 100 of them ready to go out the door to the post office on Monday? That is out of roughly 600 orders, so please bear with me. Those first 100 are from the folks who didn’t ask for any extras, since I wanted to get a huge chunk of them ready to be mailed as soon as possible — you know, to get some feeling of immediate accomplishment. Just throwing books in postage pre-paid envelopes and slapping labels on. It’ll be much slower going once I hit the international orders and folks who pledged for sketches.
So I’ll be keeping busy for a while. And probably be rewatching a lot of DVDs while creating more stacks of enveloped books like the ones on the right.
You and Spike and getting the USPS to hate you guys!
I always wanna ask if you actually enjoy mailing stuff yourself or if there’s a reason you don’t contract that out to someone else, like Topatoco or someone. I mean, sketches you might have to do yourself, but surely a lackey could do the simple “just a book” ones?
I’m still at the point where I’d rather keep the money and do it myself. Besides, no one but me understands how I organize things.
I’m no noob. I’ve been around the dark corners of the net. I’ve haunted 4chan boards and witnessed pornography that violates not only the laws of human decency but physics as well. I read words by the most educated and cultured minds of our time, and those of the most idiotic and crass as well. I don’t judge. There is a place for everyone in this mighty web.
So please understand the gravity of my words.
Presidential Slash Fic: What. The. Fuck.
I appreciate the HUGENESS of the task your working your way through, I bought the preordered book 1 reprint years agi, are those orders mixed in with the kickstarter ones or are you doing them later? Really excited I’ll get to fill the book 1 sized hole on my shelf
I’m getting to them later, but send me an email now (wiigii at gmail) with a mailing address if you want it sooner!
I’m cool with waiting. Kinda enjoying the anticipation
Are alternate universe pairings allowed, like Geraldine Ferraro / Hillary Clinton? And if so, how far do they have to have gotten in the process IRL?
Are fictional Presidents allowed? If so, I have an idea for a story about Kevin Kline’s Dave, who is called in to impersonate President Bill Mitchell, who has a stroke while having an affair with former President James Marshall (as played by Harrison Ford) aboard Air Force One.
In case the silence is you all being creeped out, it was a joke.
I’m still waiting for the Shortpacked and Dumbing books. On the other hand, I got the Crisis poster really fast. Rather than feeling entitled to super-fast delivery, I just assume it’s just a natural balance. I got the Dumbing .pdf, which didn’t hurt any, but then I wound up in the Shortpacked archives and began re-reading the series there. I had to close that off quickly in order to insure that I’d actually read the forthcoming book itself!
It’s all worth it.
