Title: Being Published
True Believer - January 23, 2005 01:38 PM (GMT)
Okay people, I have some great news. Well, great for me at least. =P I sent a project for a Hard Cover, 108 PGS, Comic Book to a publisher here in Brazil and they accepted!! Okay, calm down people, that doesn’t mean the book will be published because I have several steps ahead of me. I just won the first Battle.
This project will feature around fifteen short stories, nine of which will be written by yours truly. Yay! But since I can’t have it all, I’m here to ask you guys something. The dudes at the publisher company censored one of the stories I wrote. Okay I had it coming, it was a story about a serial killer told by the Serial Killer’s perspective.
They said it was too dark, too violent, too bloody and to be honest it was, but that was the whole point. Oh well. I have to write something to replace that story. And I thought about writing a story with some of the YJUTT original Heroes. I don’t know I think that would be too darn cool. But to do so, I need your consent.
So I’m here, humbly asking for your consent. To include a story in the book, with the original heroes from the YJUTT. Let me know what guys think, okay?

Wow, congratulations!! Will the books be in English or Portuguese?
You can use Esper if you want to, but I'm sure most of the other characters would be much more interesting.

Thats great, Fab! :) Feel free to use my character as well if you want. Thats so cool that you got accepted for a project. They say the hardest part is actualy gettting your first foot in the door, so congrats! Is trhere someway that people up here in the US will be able to purchase the book when its done and n print? Even if it was in porteguese, I'd likely still but it. It's probably time I learned another language anyway swince I'm now finished with Frech(thank heavens) ;)
Good luck!

Congrats man, thats awesome.
Feel free to use Sano. I just ask that you please read
this first.
Oh, I also ask that you send me 5% of anything you make off the sale of the book to cover licensing fees. :lol:

:lol: Awwww, thanks you guys. And well, I think that you might be able to purchase the book through the internet. Of course you'd have to pay a 25 bucks (more or less) tax to get the book delivered. But we'll see.
And yes, the book will be in portuguese... But hey, it's never too late to learn a new language. And Portuguese is pretty easy... actually isn't I speak for 25 years and I can't still speak properly. :ouchy:
And I'll keep u guys posted as thing moves further on.

lol You can use Ghost as long as you put "Character created by Jake Fox" in there somewhere. ;) (Normally I'd give you a long drawn out copyright so that even if you did want to use him you wouldn't, but I'm letting him go anyway and my name in a book'd be sweet.) And kudos on the book! I'd be tempted to buy it even if my character's not in there! ;)2 (As long as I can scrounge up the money. Ya know, 90% of what I have has to go towards doomsday devices.)
You give us all hope for a new, and brighter future... Atleast in the world of portuguese comics.
Seriously though, that's awesome and inspiring. Go you.
Ps. If you actually do want to use one of my characters, doubtful as that is, just ask me and I'll tell ya if you can or not.

You don't need to give me creator credit for Esper if you use her, as long as you don't turn around and sue me after you're big and famous for copyright infringement if I'm still using her on this site at that time. :-)
If you DO use her, though, you might want to tweak the costume a little. it's a rip-off of DC's Phantom lady with a few colors changed, because I have no artistic ability whatsoever.
Hell, just changing the colors of the costume took three hours of effort. i suck. :-(
