Hmm, I feel like there ought to be some more bloggin-talk with this. Ahem.

Jacques here has been bouncing around in this head of mine for a while as my idea of the standard space-faring adventurer type. The gist of this plot was part of my final assignment for Scripting, which was nearly a year ago at this point. We had to send off submissions, optionally with sample pages. I didn’t even get a rejection letter for this one. However, I’m quite fond of the whole idea, so when I was thinking of summer projects to keep me from atrophying into a slack-jawed pink pile, Jacques was at the top of my list. I’m not much of one for self-promotion, which I know is terrible in this line of work, but hopefully with a finished product (or polished sample at least) I can make it easier on myself to impress an editor somewhere. And that’s how this zero issue came to be.

Anyway, dear reader, hopefully you enjoy this story as much as I do.

Expect to see the full story right here, oh… September 14th seems as good a day as any. The next day I’ll be hard at work for fall quarter, which should mean even more material.

Expect to see this in zine form at the soonest occasion, which is actually probably Spring 2009.
