Concerning Rich Johnston and his blurb on Gemstone. Rich is a known and
admitted rumor monger. He admits so by the use of Red, Yellow, and Green
traffic Lights the precede each item.
Sometimes his predictions come to pass. More often than not, they don't --
or we just plain never know, or never seen any manifestation of the issue.
Anyone could look at a publisher's cancellation of four out of six titles and
pronounced that doom has swept the land. Even some of our own members have
done that!
It must have been a very slow rumor/news week at Marvel, DC, and the UK
publishers for Rich to turn his attentions to Gemstone in the first place.
I hope I'm not speaking out of class - and would rather have someone
officially address this matter for the DCML... but how can you "let freelancers
go"?! They're FREELANCERS, fer gosh sakes! There is naturally less work for
everyone, when six titles become two - and that means less freelance work. As
for being paid, I can report no difficulties with the work I've done for
Gemstone - DuckTales Texts and the Super Goof backup to "Blotman Returns".
So, I think we ought to just leave Rich Johnston to his corner of the
blog-world (...where anyone can apparently say anything they please) until things
manifest themselves for real.
Just as with the cancellation news, let's keep an even keel on this one as
well.
Also, I hope you all enjoyed my script for Super Goof. I added quite a bit
to the original bare-bones outline I received. Feedback is welcome, if you'd
like - privately or in this forum.
Joe Torcivia.
