Obviously, these sections will be updated as often as writers and artists add to the oeuvre. For instance, I forgot I contributed to Titans: Resistance Annual #1! (So, if anyone else finds something I've written that I've forgotten, let me know  ) Also, I made up the word "graphography", but it seems to make sense in this context. But I could be wrong. Oh. And I said "oeuvre" and don't feel self-concious about it. Is that wrong? ;D |

I think Don has a good point about including DC3 and Marvel2 credits, here, after all. It kinda does make sense to do that, especially as the DC2 appears to be the "mothersite".
My original thinking was not to include credits for stories posted exclusively on other sites (if there are any); for instance, I don't think it would be appropriate for Charlie to include something from (the long-defunct) NEVERWHERE site, or for Ellen to include a short story from the Wingnuts forum... We should stick to the three affiliates here.
Make sense?

We should stick to the three affiliates here. Make sense? Well, if I was looking for other DC work by Ellen a link to her fanfiction.net page with its 46 (and rising by the day) stories wouldn't go amiss. I also wouldn't mind reading Susan's Star Wars story over there, if I hadn't already done so. Admittedly, a link to every single story would be ridiculous, but a quick list of the sites a writer writes at and their homepage or pennames there might be helpful for fans of the writer. I'd have assumed that the purpose of this bibliography was to encourage readers to read other work by the writers here, and widening that choice, rather than blinkering it, would seem to be a good idea to me. |

I had imagined it was to help readers navigate what the writers had done in the DC2 universe(s). While I think DC3 and M2 should be included, I'm not a fan of including other sites that are outside the community. Ellen's done a fine job of using the Shameless Plug thread to direct people to the other sites, Susan could do the same and that's what it's there for, and I think that's how it should be utilized. But there is some value to Mark's point, and if people really wanted to include non-DC2/3/M2 sites in the bibliography, it would hardly ruin things for me. Of course, the last thing I want to do is send our readers to other sites and risk not getting them back.  Take care Don |

My concern was the competition/migration factor that Don brought up, but Mark has a great point, too. We aren't doing this for money (lord knows!), so we might as well serve our members and readers as best we can.
Ultimately, I think it should be up to the writer (and/or artist).

I started a biblography thread for myself (ridiculously short, compared to the rest), and will contribute to the character one later (don't feel like sifting through my brain right now). As for my work on FF.net...I haven't posted anything there since "Death and Gunsmoke" finished up. Virtually all my fanfic output has been DC2-only, so there's been no real point to me in re-posting it. Maybe in the future I'll put some more of that stuff up there (like a "trade paperback"), but not at the moment.
BTW David, the Star Wars story I did was more as a goof to test out my computer's compatability with the site -- I didn't want to spend all that time writing "The Long Road Home" only to find that I couldn't upload it! -- so if nobody on DC2 reads the SW fic, I'm not heartbroken.

RAMON!
What an unprecedented, awesome (in every sense of the word) body of work! I am speechless with appreciation and admiration.
Take a bow, Il Mag. You've earned it.

hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey woah Charlie... the last 25 were new! But other then that, yeah I copied it from my art thread thingy. Forget Charlie trying to spoil the moment, you are right David, it is awesome. ;D 125 covers? Psh, no one is going to top that here... EVER! I am like Wilt Chamberlain scoring 100 against the Knicks. Ha. In all seriousness though, thanks David I appreciate it a lot. |

Ramon could stop drawing for a year and all the combined effort of the Art Dept from all three sites would be never come close to what he has achieved.
"Hey Charlie!!!" (Mischief throws Brian's stapler at Charlie and misses, accidentially hitting Dragon in the head) "Charlie did it" (Mischief runs away and hides)
You rock, Ramon.
Okay with that being said...time to wash my nose.

One thing you cannot deny is that Ramon's style and hard make up the foundation of what this place is.. and that's an awesome thing to say from a fan's perspective.

Alright! I'm so glad to see others posting their work in the graphology.
Ramon, seeing your work all in one spot is an awe-inspiring experience. I'm a particular fan of your Zatanna cover and the stuff you've been doing for Green Arrow. I also love the mood you managed to convey for most of the Lost to the Night covers.
Darthsyllylylyly (couldn't remember how many ls and ys), the detail in your work is great -- love the cleaness of your linework -- but I think an even greater strength is your clean style of coloring. It makes your images pop.
And Mischief, I used your name, but haven't actually commented on your work. Your strongest covers are the ones with dynamic composition. My favorite is your cover for Action Comics #18. I'm showing some ignorance of comic cannon by not naming the villain on there, but I think you portrayed him well. I also love what you did with the Static Shock cover with the four different faces.
Great job guys!

Riz, you never cease to amaze me.
Your New Outsider covers are some of the most beautiful I've ever seen.

To Walnut Cookie,
Thank you very much for your kind words.
I believe the cover that you did that hook me into you art was the The Damn & The Dead #4. I see that you vary your style to fit the mood of the book.
Everyone knows what I think of Ramon's art and I know he knows it too. Without him, my art would its be black and white.
That cover of Black Lightning/Static #4 was a cover that done in advance better the story was written. But after reading TimDrake's story I had to add to it. And with the speedy help of Ramon, the cover was expanded on and beautifully colored. You like my Doomsday cover on Action Comics #18. When I love your design of Bane for the Ultimate Batman over at DC3.
I switch gears to praise Borize's fine artwork. But not only he on DC2, DC3 and Marvel2, but also on a website that his online comic is on. I hope to have some banners to post and other places to help promte this fine artist.
Now we need others like Craig and Roy to post their covers.
Thanks
