Anyone out there have a Trueselves forum account? I'm seeing a Ton of hits from there (http://forum.trueselves.com/viewtopic.php?t=175) but their forum rules are so arcane that it's taking a lot more effort to see what's going on in there than I want to spend, especially since I'm just wanting to see what they're saying.

If you have a Trueselves forum account, can you go to http://forum.trueselves.com/viewtopic.php?t=175 and tell me what the heck is going on over there? Good? Bad? Indifferent? "These are my favorite comics?"

Seattle fund as of October 2nd (and securely stashed away somewhere where I can't get to it easily): $641.51

That's at least gas money!

Dolari World Tour #3?

My first real issue is to get from San Marcos to Seattle, straight shot. However, if I manage to get some decent money - I might go for another "World Tour."

World Tours aren't really so much world tours, but are long leisurely drives to whereever I want to go, see friends, and sightsee. The first was State College, PA to San Antonio, TX via Atlanta, GA, Chattanooga, TN, Huntsville, AL, Houston, TX. The second was the same route, except I also made it into San Antonio via the Camino Real, driving all of TX21 and LA6.

Should I get enough money to make another world tour possible - instead of goign straight to Seattle, it's looking more like I would be following this route:

San Marcos, San Antonio (With a stop there to visit family), El Paso, Las Cruces, NM, Tucson, Phoenix (With a stop there to visit Liz Troub), Los Angeles, San Francisco (With a stop there to visit Amy, Jenn and Gwen), Portland, Tacoma and finally Seattle.

The pros are - catching up with friends, and having places to stop at that might not cost me anything. The cons are - driving through the American Southwest Desert with a truck that has 210,000 miles on it. Again, if I leave in March instead of July - definately doable.

If not, there won't be a "world tour" but it'll still be quite the drive:
San Marcos, San Antonio, San Angelo, Roswell, NM (With a stop at the Lil' A'Li'Inn?), Santa Fe, NM (with a possible side trip to Taos, NM), Salt Lake City, Boise, Kennewick, Yakima and Seattle. Pros - Right through the Rockies. Cons - driving a truck with 210,000 miles on it right through the Rockies. Also, a Mexican driving through White Power Idaho. Well - I survived a week in Alabama....

Howdy, everyone.

It's about this time for the last two years, I start making the rounds for the Transgender Day of Remembrance Webcomics Project, and I've spent the last few days digging up old EMails, searching out new TG comics and generally, rampping up to this years project. My apologies for taking so long to get started this year - August's been a bear.

For those of you who don't know about the project, in a nutshell, we're a group of webcomic artists and authors who put together a remembrance strip for late November. There is always a running theme, but the themes are voluntary (especially if your comic has no TG characters). If you'd like some examples of the 2005 and 2004 entries, you can see previous projects for yourself at the Webcomics DOR site at http://www.dolari.net/dor.

All we ask is that you link to the other comics running images as well, and keep the images up for your normal comic-length. We're aiming at having these displayed on the week of the 20th. After the comics are done, I'd love your permission to keep them on my Day of Remembrance site, at http://www.dolari.net/dor

This year's theme is a little less confrontation than last year's. The theme proposed is a more "This is your brain on drugs" narrative presentation. The character will very matter-of-factly decribe a situation that led to them being killed for being trans or swapped, with the final panel revealing the tombstone of that character (preferably based on someone who has died this year - a listing can be found at http://www.gender.org/remember/day/who.html).

For example, my comic will have Allison relate about a day she had where she was outted and was beaten to death over several panels. Eventually, the last panel will have her walking into the dark with the tombstone prominently displayed.

Again, the themes are voluntary, and if you have an idea you'd like to pursue, or a better idea for a theme that you'd like to present, please do.

Please let me know if you'd like to participate this year by letting me know via EMail. IF you know someone who may be interested, but isn't on this list, by all means, forward it along (especially as real life has kept me fmro researching the newer comics out there).

Thanks again for listening - looking forward to hearing from y'all soon.
