I suppose you’ll be wanting some notes to go with that:

• Our creative processes - how ideas get from our brains to our websites.
• Good Ship Chronicles‘ impending reboot.
• JjAR is awesome.
• I hate my first webcomic so Glod-damned much.
• Garfield.
• The differences between a webcomic reboot and a printed comic or motion picture franchise reboot.

Tomorrow I’ll be flying back to England for a couple of weeks. I’ll be spending Saturday March 22nd at the UK Web & Mini Comix Thing. Despite being in another country, however, we still plan for all five of us to record Episode 6 next Saturday Sunday.

A few show notes for you:

• Tauhid is missing this week, but I think I fill the void quite well thanks to the consumption of two gallons of chocolate milk. Apologies for just how pointless I am.
• Building a Universe.
• Making your own rules, and breaking them.
• Consistency and realism.
• Retcons.

Some of the ground covered in this edition:

• No introduction! We spent ages talking about pizza and mostly forgot to do one.
• The pizza banter isn’t actually included in the podcast. It may surface at a later time.
• Writing scifi-comedy.
• Storytelling and planning story arcs. Or not.
• I talk far too much about my obsession with Many-Worlds interpretation. And baseball.
• Parody and cliches.

Our first foray into Podcastery lasted an hour and a half. So as not to destroy the synapses in the minds of those who dare to listen, we have courteously split it into two smaller FunSize editions.

Some of the things discussed in this episode:

• Why we chose webcomics as our particular medium.
• Scifi cliches - when they work and when they don’t.
• Comparing science fiction and fantasy.
• Writing a long-form comic.
• The importance of technology in science fiction.
• What scifi fans are after.
