Hey Charlie, thanks for asking!
The smart-aleck response is about 6 months ago. Had an offer to join Sequential Media, a small press publishing Crikey! an excellent mag on Brit comics. They were looking to form a collective of a few pop-culture magazines and invited The Fanatic on board. I was excited about bringing in the expertise of a professional designer and distributor, aspects of the mag which I'm not too hot on/that interested in.
I wrote 3 issues in an adrenalin and caffeine fuelled couple of months. And then sat back and waited. And waited.
A fortnight ago I was told that Sequential Media have dissolved- can't go into details but it seems the founders of the company had very different visions of where they wanted to take it. Which returns me to my self-publishing roots. Maybe not a bad thing?
So issue 8 is complete and will go to the printers this week. Issue 9 is written and I'll design between now and Xmas, ready to print in the New Year. So the plan is to get out two issues before mid-Feb which is when my baby is due!
Have got some really good contributions lined up from Curt of Groovy Age, Johnny Allthingshorror and Andy Decker to name but a few and some nice interviews with the likes of Terry Harknett and Peter Tremayne to run. I'm just desperate to get them into print. So watch this space!
