SearchForDelicious posted:I actually think a legitimate novel from Onstad could be better than Achewood ever has been. Maybe not, but the best stuff I've seen from him recently have been the in character updates on the fanflow. Which reminds me, for anyone who hasn't checked out any of the free in character blogs, they're loving awesome, though I don't think any of them have been updated since around 2008. Yeah, I think he has the ability to mimic prose styles incredibly well. He could easily do a really good genre book. One thing I'd like to see is a Nate Small 'One tough man' book written in the noir style, or maybe more like John D. Macdonald.

choobs posted:You guys care to give some examples? And don't say the one where he offers to blow Ray because that was not a hint of possible sexual identity issues, that was just being completely annoyed with Ray. Circus Penis sends him to a gay porno shoot. Huggins tries to do maximum cuddles with him and he 'catches on slow.' He has a dream where people assume he's gay because he's a designer.

Cobweb Heart posted:This was a good arc. I liked the alt text implication that whenever Circus Penis or anyone else in the business sends a straight guy into a gay shoot to gently caress with his head, poor Huggins somehow always ends up being the actor present. (Rod does not have a good job.) Though it also seems like he's not too choosey about his jobs. He shot a one-man porno film with Ray and Teodor.

Cloks posted:It might just be me, but for me a good starting point is the one where Philippe is standing on it. I think most people who know what homestuck is would already know what achewood is. For example I've never read homestuck--I don't even know what it is other than a webcomic. Anybody I was introducing Achewood to would be similarly ignorant of internet opinion. And anyway, it's one sentence. Otherwise the article has a good selection of comics, explains the premise and the basic relationship of the main characters.

There used to be tenmen .mp3s back when there was a "radio achewood" link. I always assumed it was Onstad, his guitar, flange pedal and drum machine, but who knows? I bet someone might still have them downloaded somewhere.

DACK FAYDEN posted:If you want A Home for Scared People" to go with it, I bought mine from a comic book store in Portland for a hair over ten bucks and it was in minty fresh shape and everything and they still have it in stock. They used to have at least one of the others in stock, but now they don't, so if you want Great Outdoor Fight ebay is your best bet still. This was great thanks. Shipping was more than the book, and still way cheaper than anywhere else.

The theme in the blogs where every date Ray goes on ends up with one or both of them getting extremely drunk and doing something stupid or embarrassing is even more hilarious once you realize it HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME.
