Lead editor of Cwej: The Series for Arcbeatle Press. Fan of Doctor Who, among many other fun speculative fiction series'. Glad to make your acquaintance.
Though my influence on Bluesky is limited, I would like to do my part to help my good friend James “Jeanne” Wylder in their time of need, by sharing their call for financial assistance. Please help them out if you are able to. God only knows how many times they’ve helped me.
I know its the end of the year and people are hard up, but we could really use some assistance here. The American medical system is rough to get through.
If @linkara.bsky.social might share?
If @linkara.bsky.social might share?
I've been swamped with taking on the Cwej30th Anniversary celebrations, which has been an amazing job, but we're nearing the end of the year, and we could use a little push to get us through the bills we have from medical costs creeping up on us.

A while ago, I backed the Kickstarter campaign for Inferno, a Doctor Who spin-off comic done by @twilightstreets.bsky.social and the wonderful folks at @cutawaycomics.bsky.social. Now I am immortalized in comic form, and plastered on a custom front cover! A heartfelt “thank you” to all involved!

Contacting Andy back in late 2018 to make a Cwej spin-off series was the best decision I could have made, and shifted the trajectory of my life forever. I would not have met some of my best friends without this project. Thank you for allowing my team to continue Chris’ adventures.
I thoroughly endorse this. @arcbeatle.bsky.social and @hunteroc.bsky.social are doing great things with a character I created so many years ago for the Virgin New Adventures line that it hurts me to even think back that far. And Rebecca is as fabulous as ever.
Cwej30 #2 is out! Cwej and Sang Mi begin their trip across the Midwest, where creatures lurk in the woods. Four stories by Wylder, @avarna.bsky.social, and Theta Mandel, art by @rosalie-m.bsky.social , and an interview with New Adventures editor Rebecca Levene!

Mike was very kind when he approached me at Chicago TARDIS asking about opportunities to write for my Cwej series at Arcbeatle. He later delivered an incredible story which I’m sure will be adored by everyone who reads it. Look forward to Mike’s story, In the Vicinity of Goodness, in Cwej: Seasons!
Can I just say how the people at @arcbeatlepress.bsky.social are amazingly amazing. I have worked with many editors, and these guys - THESE GUYS - they are genuinely WONDERFUL. Thank you for listening to my TED talk.
