For my part, I've replaced optimism and believing the best of people by default with a grin and the absolute 100% certainty that if they cannot find a pig to fuck, they will buy some bacon and play oinking noises on YouTube.

Although, after reviewing some of the feedback, I think we're looking at magazine size. Some of the font-size issues may be unfixable. I'm going to try printing up some of the 'trouble pages' at graphic novel size, just in case. But in the end, I think larger will be better. Then again, we could potentially release it in different sizes... I dunno, I guess we'll see.

The drawback of releasing it at magazine size is that copies will be more expensive to order... however, the advantage is that it will make it really cheap for the do-it-yourselfer to print and bind, especially if there's enough room in the margin for a three-ring or spiral binding.

That's true and, really, this is more for the diy crowd, I feel.

Over all, I don't think size is all that important in regards to the digital copy (most PDF readers allow you to zoom) but I think I'm going to experiment with a few different sizes before I host it anywhere that someone could order a physical copy. Cost is important for non-DIYers, but Lulu seems fairly inexpensive overall. What's important is that it scales well with whatever size we ultimately decide (likely magazine size at this point), but I don't mind spending a little cash to see what other sizes will look like in person.

Have you considered Amazon? I think it may reach a wider audience there.

As of right now, I haven't really checked into it and I'm not settled one way or another. I was only thinking Lulu because it had been recommended to me. I'm going to look more into that stuff when I have the final copy ready, but I am totally open to checking out anything, if anyone else has suggestions/prefferences.

I don't know much about it but I know Suu has a book up on Amazon, maybe she can tell you more about it.

Sweet beans. I'll ask her next time I see her. I run into her enough at school, so...

I'm going to help him format it. I seriously see him everyday now, and I have all the programs and templates on my lappy, so this works well. We are going to take over the student coffeehouse to get it done.

Yeah, I should be getting all the corrections made over the weekend, so the next time Suu's and my schedule line up, we can get this underway.

Still alive, still not quite finished, but still working on it (albeit, slowly). School is in full swing, so...

But, yeah, just wanted to check in, in case anyone was wondering what was up.

WHAZZAP!

Complete side-note, all the freshmen in my PHL classes think I'm an 'asshole' simply because I disagree with their inane bullshit. I haven't even gotten mean yet.

"Yo, man, you should keep an open mind."

"You know what a truly open mind is? A fucking vacuum. You know what happens with a vacuum? It gets filled up with whatever old shit is lying around. Now sit down, junior."

Someone told me that I couldn't use an analogy to make an argument... In a 300 lvl PHL course...

A kid tried to argue against a point I made by saying that he 'didn't like my tone.' I swear, he was three seconds away from throwing punches when I informed him that, despite my 3.95 gpa, I am not above trading blows if all that thinking was making him cranky.

I swear...
