benchilada | Living Fuck, I have a "job" in comics... (Reply)

Hello, my name is benjamin sTone, and I’m fucking WIRED.

     You see, DrMaster Comics (formerly ComicsOne) are sending me a contract to sign for a two month unpaid editing internship.   </>
     They were apparently VERY impressed by the editing test they gave me, and within four hours had given me a call to set up a phone interview. Less then eighteen hours after that, I get an e-mail saying that they’re offering me the internship. It seems that I’ll be editing the rough English translations of Chinese and Japanese manga into readable stuff.</>
     I am knocking on wood, crossing my fingers, et cetera, as I type this, but they said that if their company does well and if my performance is good, this could very well turn into a paid position.</>

I’ve just weed all over myself.</>

     Comics = bastard hard industry to get into. And while I may have just a finger and not a foot in the door, the experience alone is going to be fabulous and – if I don’t get offered a job after two months – will look great on resumes for future comic attempts.
     So, I have a finger in the door. I have stories that I’m scripting into comic format to pitch to SOMEBODY. My agent (read: Mama) is about to start fishing for places to sell my stories.</>

I. Am. Happy.</>

     I really hate getting my hopes up, but could this be where it all changes? Watch this space for updates and more fiction.
