Guest drkangl7 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hi there! Thnx for taking the time to read this humble lil thread. My name's Dark Angel, and yes that's my real name. I thought Id post little back story for those unfamiliar with "OV's" origin. During Otakon '07, I embarked on a journey to write a book about anime conventions. A team of 9 and 15 months later, we will be publishing said book very, very soon! The title in question is called, "How To Avoid Hara-kiri: A Guide To Surviving Anime Conventions" The webcomic, "Otaku Variable" was originally just an idea I had to help promote the book, but we've become very attached and would like to continue the project as a regualr webcomic. So with the help of my girlfriend (who does all the art; I write the story/plots), we entered or lil foray into the world of webcomics. We post a pg or 2 every week about all the crazy things that REALLY go down at an anime convention. With the occasional celebrity guest character and everyone who donates [more than the amount of a book order] getting a guest cameo in the story to throw in the mix every once in a while. The book and webcomic are both first for me and my team, so I really hope you guys enjoy them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ithilienne 2 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 While we understand that you're excited about your webcomic, please don't double-post. Thank you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ithilienne 2 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'm sorry to say I haven't had a chance to check it out; however, you're really the only person posting in this forum at the moment. We tend to discourage thread-bumping and double-posting here (more information is available in the BBS Guidelines), but you've very thoughtfully provided links to your comic in a few different places, so I'm sure that folks who might be interested will be able to find their way.

ota_retired 6 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 A survival book on anime conventions? Sounds awesome. I wouldn't mind reading it. ^^ How close are you to your goal of publishing the book? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest drkangl7 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 We actually should have the book done and ready for the public by the time you read this reply (and if not, really, really, really soon). Here's a quick video update. You can also keep up to the minute with all the madness at any of the sites I've jotted down in past posts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTryG9S4pM0 Additionally, we are finalizing our personal website (that does everything the other 4 do, but better) to sell the book off of, and that should be up and running just in time for the holiday season!

ota_retired 6 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Looks adorable! Gonna have to get one for my gf. Otakon will be her first convention, unless we go to Anime North up here. Either way, it will be her first REAL convention. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
