Lost the Series
Oct. 15th, 2004 08:40 amI am really enjoying Lost. Without spoilers, this week’s episode rocked and raised many more questions than it answered. The current format seems to be telling the story of a passenger inter cut with what they were doing to survive. Yes there are many errors and simplicities with in the plot. Most these are for dramatic tension. If it really happened then I am sure that the survivors would be much faster on the up take of what they need to do to make it to the next day. Do I think I could make it in that sort of situation? Maybe. I have had a lot of camping experience when I was younger. Someone commented that if you had read your way through the Little House on the Prairie books you had a better shot of getting through that sort of situation. You could also read your way through the Survivor’s Guide to series and have a lot of bits and pieces of useful knowledge.
The bookplates are going out today to all the people who sent in their envelopes and receipts for Fallen Angel. Peter had, at his own expense, a bookplate with the Angel on it. He is offering it to people who bought the graphic novel since he is trying to save the series.
Here is the original offer I snipped from his blog:
I am going to produce a limited edition Fallen Angel bookplate, which artists Dave Lopez and Fernando Blanco are doing the art for. I will autograph the bookplates, which can then be affixed to the title page of the trade paperback. Any retailer who has copies in his store, send me a self-addressed stamped #10 envelope to PO Box 239, Bayport, NY 11705, and tell me how many you need. I will send you up to five (if more postage is required, I’ll cover the difference). If you need more than that, send me some sort of written proof that you’ve ordered that many. I will also make these available to fans, since I don’t want to freeze out people who order via Amazon.com or whose retailers simply won’t carry it. Likewise send a SASE, and include a copy of your receipt. (If you don’t have the receipt, send a photocopy of the cover or a picture of you holding the book(s), something.) Hey guys, you could do worse for a holiday gift for your girlfriend or spouse than a signed trade paperback of a well-reviewed series featuring a strong female protagonist.
I am really excited about what he had planned for issues 19 and 20. We had a brainstorming session yesterday at lunch about various things he could do with the characters. We do discuss material he is working on a lot. Since I am a book editor, among other things, I can be very helpful with my knowledge of editing and the current market.
I am grateful for all my various jobs over the years.
