quinnmjohnson · 05-06-2008, 10:03 PM

Just thought I'd let y'all know that I was recently interviewed by a local news station for my writing work, including Tales of the TMNT #31! Go to the following link:

Thanks!

Ohh, welcome to the Drome, Quinn! Always glad to see another writer come onto the board..

quinnmjohnson · 05-06-2008, 10:09 PM

Thanks! It's been a while since I've posted, guess my profile got deleted.

**Machias Banshee** · 05-06-2008, 10:11 PM

Oops...

Sorry bout that. It gets hard to keep track of active profiles. We'll get your account fixed up like the other big wigs on here.

**Krang** · 05-07-2008, 12:52 AM

Glad to see you around again, Quinn! Actually, your original account is still here, so I can merge them for you if you'd like (if so, please let me know which username you would prefer to keep).

quinnmjohnson · 05-08-2008, 09:44 AM

Yeah, go ahead and merge them and use my original username of quinnmjohnson. Let me know if you need anything else, and thanks a lot! I promise not to be such a stranger anymore.

**Krang** · 05-09-2008, 01:26 AM

Sure thing, I took care of it.

quinnmjohnson · 05-10-2008, 12:14 PM

Thanks a lot!! I really appreciate it. Do I need to upload my profile pic again? Looks like it's not coming up. I'm so computer illiterate!

quinnmjohnson · 05-10-2008, 12:17 PM

Sorry, another issue. Looks like none of my profile info is coming up either. (Birthdate, websites, signature, etc...) Thanks again!

**Krang** · 05-11-2008, 02:12 AM

No problem, glad to help.

Looks like your avatar got lost in the merge, so I restored it for you. For your profile information, it's all still there, but the layout of the page was changed around during a recent forum upgrade, so you'll need to go through the tabs (About Me, Statistics, etc.) to see all the info.

Hey cool interview. I didn't get to pick up that issue when it was out, but i'll get it off the internet soon.

It's really neat that you're a big ninja turtle fan and got to write an issue, hopefully they'll bring you back soon.

quinnmjohnson · 05-12-2008, 09:52 PM

Thanks! It was a ton of fun to write for them and I really hope I get to write another one too.

Also thanks to you kind administrators who have answered my profile questions. All's good.

**Machias Banshee** · 05-12-2008, 10:02 PM

No problem...

Now, more of a general writing question: How did you get to actually DO the issue? Was it networking of 'hey, I know this guy who...", or was it the Mirage crew contacting you and saying, "Hey, have I got a deal for you.."?

I ask because as a creative writer, I've been drilled since college that getting anywhere's all about who you know, networking, having a foot in the door. Was it the same here, or is it really more random?

And I've read some of her stuff, she's got talent. I'd love to see her get a gig like that.
