And we’re looking to Kickstart funding for this year’s Mo*Con. Check out the video.
Nice tentacle! So glad you got the box and posted pictures! (Great shirt too, by the way – what a brilliant combo!)
Yes it is a nice tentacle! So – does that mean that our Mo writes – gasp – TENTACLE PORN?! (Why would he have been awarded a tentacle otherwise?! And why does the appendage have the legend “Kingmaker” printed thereon?! That’s not porn!)
Hmm. He looks so sly-dog-like in this excellent pic that I tend almost to believe it of him, the rogue! Maurice – *have* you been writing porn mangas?? I *knew* it was always the quiet taciturn ones up to something! Maurice I’m shocked – or not! PS where can I peruse this tentacular fiction, and may I tickle you with the award?! Pretty please.
Aha I’ve read the pornokitsch.com article now: I see it*was* awarded for Kingmaker. An award is always nice but for the life of me I can’t see why the trophy should be a tentacle! Personally I would only award a tentacle for silly but witty pornography. Bagsy I still tickle you with it though, Maurice! (I have this sadistic kind of streak; yet I’m always well-meaning!)
Ah – I’ve just read your piece about this year’s, that’s right, isn’t it – Mo*Con! (Click on it peeps: it wants donations and retweets! Mo never tells people these things straight off when really he should put it in the headline. BE OBVIOUS! One of these days I’m going to ask him if he knows the story of the young man who went around saying a sentence with a rude word to women and what result it produced!)
But it’s very interesting! I really wish I could travel this year! This year’s convention is going to have as its main theme the intersection between.. let me see.. horror (surely!), art, spirituality and homosexuality. Some combination like that: definitely the last thing. NOW I see what he’s been planning for the last few months! He wanted to make his contribution and make use of his friends’ expertise in this manner! It’s almost a masterstroke definitely a long overdue topic list. Was it spirituality or religion? Without flipping back, I think it was religion. Perhaps you should have someone who likes..
..fine art to give a lecture on Michelangelo!
Anyway it’s a good combination. Be interesting to see what definite position you will be taking if any!!
NB: I doubt this precludes – or excuses you from – a definite position on a definite issue – such as legalization of gay marriage. You’ll need to come out in support of your true position one day! Just sayin’!
(Now anybody Googling for “tentacle porn + homosexuality” will find this page straight off!! Especially if they also add Loki to the search co-ordinates! Oh he’d be proud: HA HA HA!)
