Kickstarter Bonus Story
Shaenon: One week in, the Kickstarter campaign for Skin Horse Volumes 7 and 8 has hit both its initial goal and its first stretch goal! I am happy to announce that, per the stretch goal, all backers will receive an ebook copy of a prose Skin Horse story by me.
Stay tuned for more announcements, keep spreading the word, and thank you all so much!
Channing: And thank all of you for allowing me to read a new Shaenon story too.
Somebody give him Artie’s phone number…
AHHHHH A SERGIO STORY!!!! I’m so HYPE!!!
Like, seriously, how are all of you so self absorbed that none of you even considered trying to hook up Sergio and Artie. That seems like it should be a fairly obvious pairing after you’ve known either of them for more than five minutes.
Especially considering that they actually were a couple in the mirror universe.
I think you answered your own question: most of the SH cast are too self-absorbed (or don’t really understand romance, or are under the influence of being Unity) to really consider other people’s happiness.
They work for the government, or did till recently. They’re trained to ignore other people’s needs.
Hey, I’ve been wondering, where did you get the inspiration for Sergio’s character?
Hmm… Sergio started out as a character in my comic Li’l Mell, where he’s six years old. There’s probably an element of autobiography there.
How likely is it that “Li’l Mell” would get continued or collected in book form or both? Maybe after Skin Horse is complete?
Ah, interesting! Thanks! (Also your webcomics are great!)
Having read this story now, I have to admit that the least self absorbed character did try to hook them up, but Artie and Sergio screwed things up.
For understandable reasons, granted, but it’s still their own fault.
