I’m getting a bit bored just posting images during my study hiatus, so: ask me anything. About work, not-work, Al’Rashad, my other stuff, the blog, what I had for breakfast yesterday, whatever. Answers will be next week’s posts.
(Well, not anything – I’m not going to give legal advice, for example. But most things.)

People sort of already asked this, but I’ll reaffirm: how long is Al’Rashad planned to be, and what’s the “elevator pitch”? Where’s the story going, without spoilers obviously?
Why a “Caliphate” for the Al-Rashad setting, instead of a “Sultanate”? I mean, wouldn’t that be comparable to having Papal states in a traditional European fantasy setting?

How far ahead have you plotted Al’Rashad?”
I’m one of MGK’s ex-roomates, and I can answer this. It was fully plotted and written up as a movie script in the summer of 2001. Then 9/11 happened, and it had to go back in the drawer.
I’m sure MGK is making adjustments for the medium, but it has been done for a long time.

Damn! I came in here planning on asking that, Toby. I live here in Madison, where it’s essentially ground zero. The shady shit going down here is disgusting and downright illegal.

Sorry for the derail. Continue with the questions.

The above article was written a while ago about fantasy novels, but a similar trend could also be identified in many forms of contemporary art (increasing gritty realism, morally ambiguous narrative, graphic description of unpleasant events, etc.). What do you make of the accusation made in the above article (that these pieces demean the genre and art as a whole)?

In your article on The Monocle, you wrote as an aside “Hawkman is a dick and everybody hates him.”

The strange part of that article is the 300 post comment thread with people apparently blaming the “fall of fantasy” on politically correct liberals? Wierd.
not a question rather a statment.
我的阴茎比你大 ! yup..
Rereading the “I Should Writes” suggests you’re very into Byzantine history. Tell us about that? It’s a fascinating topic.
Also rereading them, I realised the original text for the first 30 ISWTLegion posts isn’t up, just the pictures and later commentary. Could you post the original text?
You may have already been asked or answered this, but do you work full script for Al-Rashad, or Marvel method (plot then art then script)?
I always kind of liked Hawkman. When I was a kid, anyway, watching Superfriends. But then, I had a huge crush on Aquaman back then, too, so what the fuck did I know?
What’s twhe status of that Novella? I really liked what I read and the hook was golden.
Also, do you like me?
These are done, by the way.
