Pitch Contest Winners!
A couple days late officially announcing the winners for the pitch contest, but better late than never, I always say! Not that I never would have announced these, but, well… ya know…. hey, it’s just a saying!
Anyway, the WINNERS of the BPD Pitch Contest are:
“AlaskanWyvern” in the main “50 words or less” Category!
“Broken Plot Device revolves around a group of over-the-top characters living over-the-top lives in an over-the-top world. They could be repelling minor demon invasions one day, defending toy robot plans from hapless ninjas the next, or maybe just going out for a few drinks, but they always do it with their own unpredictable style. Check it out and get hooked at brokenplotdevice.com.”
…and Spens Zimmermannn in the “Short Zinger” Category!
Broken Plot Device is about the hilarious, slightly insane exploits of Lizardbeth and various tenants of Byron Factory apartments. Sound boring? Add ninjas, robots, demon sandwiches, and nerd culture. Shake vigorously.
Congratulations to both winners! I’ll be e-mailing you both shortly concerning your PRIZES. ^_^ A big thanks to everybody else who participated! It was really hard for me to pick the top 6, there were a LOT of good ones.
Where DID the “Attack Fetus” come from?
Sometimes I get asked “Where the heck did the Attack Fetus come from?”, aka the “Fi’Tsu Goblin” in the comic. I just found this picture I drew in college in 2003, which may shed some light on the subject. Of note is that it was drawn at 2am when I was loony from sleep deprivation and hunger. That’s my excuse.

An enormous thanks to @inakizombie on twitter for providing BrokenPlotDevice.com with a new home! Inaki was kind enough to offer his services as host after all of the problems we’ve had with the OLD host… they shall go unnamed here, but if you follow me on twitter, you know who it is. I am super excited to have the site in more welcoming hands & not under the foot of a faceless, uncaring corporation. Power to the people and other such nonsense.
If you have the chance, go give @inakizombie a huge thank you, a hug, a high-five, and – if you’re feeling generous – a cookie. He deserves it.
One side-effect of the move however is that any comments made in the few hours between Inaki transfering all the files over to the domain pointing to the new host have been lost. I don’t think it was more than a couple at most. I just wanted to let you know, in case you made a comment and it vanished. Feel free to post it again.
Pitch Contest: Finalist Polls Posted!
The finalists for the BPD Pitch Contest have been announced! There’s now 2 different categories to vote in; one for longer descriptive pitches, and the other for short “BAM!” blurbs. Both categories will get the full prize of an 11×14 inked picture of any BPD character they choose (or original character designed by the winner).
The polls to choose the winners are here and here. Go Vote!! You have 1 week to decide their FATE!!
All BPD pre-orders have been sent out!
For those of you who do not follow me on Twitter, all of the Demon Sandwich preorders – as well as any product orders made since then – have been shipped out! If you don’t have your books already, you should have them very soon. If for some reason you do not have them by the end of August, please e-mail me! Thanks to my new Endicia mail system which auto-applies tracking numbers to all of my packages, I can look up your order and let you know if it’s still on the trail to you… or if the postal system mercilessly devoured it. ^_^
