Here is the last Clarion Write-a-Thon blog post, which explains
who "won" what and why. I came in third (in terms of amount
of money raised). The top 12 participants, apart from the
ultimate frontrunner, willeventually each receive a 33%-off
coupon for a signed first edition; I also got a T-shirt in the mail
a few weeks ago. The blog post reveals who won the various
draws, including our own Cuong Hoang. Feel free to
participate in the survey linked from the blog post; it is there
for writers, donors, and "interested observers." |

Panel 1: In
the psychological institute, Marie is at a table, eating. The young man
who passed her in the hall in the last strip approaches, smiling. Man: So did you get your stupid brain to behave? Marie: Pardon? Panel 2: He sits down beside her. Man: I overheard you in the hall. Marie: Ah. No. My brain is still outside my control. Panel 3: He holds out a hand. Man: I'm Basil. I'm here mostly because of the overwhelming despair, which I conceal beneath a facade of ironic detachment. Panel 4: She shakes his hand. Marie: I'm Marie. I talk to imaginary people and go on vision quests with alternate versions of myself. Basil: Damn...you win. Alt-Text: MY psychosis is better than YOUR psychosis... Go to commentary |
