HELP A GEEK GIRL BRING COMICS AND GEEK CULTURE TO NPR!

I'm entering a contest for National Public Radio looking for new shows
and hosts. My idea is geek culture, highlighting the female fans,
creators, and perspective. Of course, the guys won't get left out
either. I plan to cover, among other things, sci-fi, fantasy, books, movies, star trek,
firefly RPG's video games, Anime and Manga, and of course comics.

Go to http://www.publicradioquest.com/node/1202 and listen to my
essay. If you like, vote for me! Show NPR we've got our geek on!

:) And pass it on!

Voting ends the first week of june! So please if you like, show your love!

******************************************************************
A 29-year-old librarian specializing in graphic novels and Japanese anime, I’ve been writing since I’ve been able to hold a pencil, mostly sci-fi, fantasy, and related topics.

I'm also a huge fan of Mythology, cultural stories, folklore, and fairy tales.

I'd like to someday work as a writer for various comics, and am developing several ideas for stories in comic format. Can’t draw to save my life, but that’ll only slow me down.

Also interesting in vocal acting, and have been doing minor radio commercial work. Playing about with internet podcasting, and always on the look out for web animation that may need an actress. :)

I also sometimes act as a guest host on the Pod cast “Secret Identity”

Favorite comics include: Sandman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Martian Manhunter, Read or Die, New Frontier, X-men, Batman, Superman, JLA, Blankets, The Crow, Preacher, Y the last Man, A Superman for all Seasons, A League of One, Chrono Crusade, Batman: Child of Dreams, Grease Monkey, Appleseed, Hellboy, The Watchmen, Maus, Fables, Captain Drew and His Crew of Two, Spider Man, The Tick and Green Lantern.

Some Fave Artists and Writers: Art Spiegelman, Neil Gaiman, Frank Miller, Alan Moore, Daisuke Moriyama, Yashuiro Nightow, Christopher Moeller, Kevin Smith, Jill Thompson, Hajime Kanzaka, Peter Laird, Judd Winick, Darwyn Cooke and Alex Ross.

Big animation fan as well, both anime and domestic. Some faves: Witch Hunter Robin, Miyazaki’s films, Satoshi Kon’s films, Justice League Animated, Batman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Aqua Teen Hunger force, Robot Chicken, Gargoyles, Wolf’s Rain, Venture Brothers Trigun, Paranoia Agent, Samurai 7, Static Shock, Ghost in the Shell, X-men Evolution, Ren and Stimpy, and Invader Zim.

I am head of Guest relations for Connecticon (Hartford Ct), and Bakuretsu Con (Colechester, VT) and also on the Guest Relations staff for Anime Boston (Boston, MA)


The Secret Identity Podcast I sometimes sit in on:
http://secretidentity.podomatic.com/

While I comment mostly on Anime and Manga, the whole show is fantastic.

Thanks for the add, Sarah. My comic cohort and I are heavily considering attending Connecticon this year to promote our comic, and it's always good to meet people 'in the know'. Take care!

Thanks for the add -- when not working on my webcomic, I'm also a librarian. (Corporate, though -- been a long time since I've worked in a public library)

Long live the librarian core of fandom! :D

Wouldn't it be great to trap all of us groovy librarian comic fans with all our long boxes and trades? Or if we could have jobs as the comic book reference librarian like in She-Hulk?

Hey, Sarah the dyslexic librarian! How are you doin'? I can't believe that I didn't know there is a place called Springfield that actually exists...soon people will be comparing me to George Bush Jr! 'Coz I'm sure he didn't know either lol!

Now you know something about the worm. He found me, I didn't find him... Hows that for Creepy? And thank you for the compliment.

Thank you also :)

[ Posted by Samdegraff on Dec 26th, 2006 10:55 PM ]...

Thanks for adding me. I'm not 100% on the why, but my sub brain is telling me that a librarian will be able to make some interesting things happen in comics. it likes to do that. damned mysterious sub brain.

Indeed. Maybe I think there's some kind of osmosis going on with the books?
I know its coming, but I am impatient for the rumoured forums to be up... Especially a wanted section and an advice section.

Imagine, you are stumped for where to go next in your comic... then you say "Help! here's what I have so far, what next?" and then (hopefully) get flooded with ideas.

[ Posted by FableForge on Dec 26th, 2006 10:08 PM ]...

Wow, your bio is impressive, and you seem exactly the kind of person I hope would like Journey of a Ghost, if you do it must mean I'm doing at least -something- right! Thanks for the add!

[ Posted by mguy1977 on Dec 26th, 2006 8:37 PM ]...

Sarah,
