Johanna's New Job/Email Address
Johanna Draper
Mike Chary says that comics pros are like vampires; they don't rest until
they make you one of them. Well, gang, I've succumbed. Beginning Dec 2nd,
I'll be on staff at DC Comics as an Associate Editor for Multimedia
Publishing, working on the DC Online AOL area and the web site. (Mike
Leib's old job, for those of you who knew him.)
Due to this position, I will no longer be reviewing, and my email address
has changed. If you need to reach me, please use DCOJo...@aol.com; my
previous email address will be going away sometime in the indefinite
future. I'm also moving physically; if you need my new mailing address,
please email me.
Unfortunately, I'll no longer be participating here as actively as I was. I
encourage y'all to check out DC Online, and I'm interested in hearing
suggestions, once I get acclimated to the place. :) Most of all, I'm really
excited by this opportunity to work in an area I love, and thanks in
advance for all your support.

Congratulations, Johanna! I know this is your dream job, and I'm thrilled
as heck that you've gotten it. I'm also selfishly happy that you'll be
local to me now! Weekly sushi gatherings, hee! :)
: Due to this position, I will no longer be reviewing...
Understandably so, but I'll miss your reviews, and especially our
collaborations on the DC Preview packs. Ed Douglas has graciously agreed
to fill the void here, but he'll never replace you.
: Unfortunately, I'll no longer be participating here as actively as I was.
I hope you won't be leaving us altogether. You have always found a way to
say the same things I've wanted to express, but more succinctly and, well,
just somehow *better*. You've been one of my favorite posters here, and
probably my best rac* friend, and I thank you for everything you've done
here. It just won't be the same without your frequent participation...

Well, there is this little matter of the racdu FAQ... :) :) :)

YAY J!!!!!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!
And you better show up to the monthly Lulu meetings, or I'll hunt you
down. After all, I know where you work now. :)

because I was counting on your Galaxion plugs, when the time came,
to help boost sales :-) but because you are one of the posters
that I've found helpful in alerting me to comics I might otherwise

In a week that brings so much depressing news about lay-offs in the
industry, how refreshing - and thrilling, really - to hear about a hiring,
and of a person who stands to make some valuable contributions in the
field. I join my fellow posters in wishing you congratulations, as well as
much joy in your employment.
The only shadow that your notice casts is that you won'y be posting as
regularly as you once did. When I first came on the newsgroups a couple of
years back, yours was one of the first names I began to recognize. Your
comments were sharp and to the point, and I learned very quickly to check
out a thread whenever your name was listed beside a post. It promised
lively discussion at the least and considerable insight at the best. I
regret that I'll see fewer of those posts now, but I trust they won't
disappear altogether.
At any rate, thanks for your contributions to date, and the very best of
wishes in the future.

I wanted to say congratulations. Although you yelled at me a bunch and
probably don't think too muchof me (sounds like most of RAC), I did have
fun arguing with you, when possible, and I'm sorry to see you go.
On the other hand, you've broken into comics in a way that most of RAC
wishes they could, so it doesn't matter how much we'll miss you, we know
you're in a better place. :)

On the other hand, I've been saying to Greg & Co. for over two years
that the Web was the way to go over AOL for just that reason that Fred
cites (although the underlying reason is that it needs to be thought of
as advertising, rather than as a profit center). But with AOL as of December
1st offering unlimited hours for $20/month and unlimited AOL access from
outside accounts for $10/month, the situation's very different. The key point,
which I've no idea about and don't really expect to learn, is how DC's
compensation for the AOL site changes when it's no longer a per hour charge
that can get part of it easily passed back to content providers. Depending
on how it works, there may very well be a stronger incentive for DC to move
more to the Web (one notices, for example, that the Motley Fool is now
at www.fool.com rather than fool.web.aol.com) in that the AOL site won't
be bringing in as much money, therefore the greater numbers on the Web
become more valuable even though they bring in no money.
However, I'm actually considering getting an AOL account, since the content
there might be worth $10/month. So it may be that more people head to AOL,
making the numbers crunch differently than at present.

Congrats on the Job for a start. Just a few comments about the DC WWW
page, I'm not sure if you have complete control over that.. and I hate to
be blunt... but its boring. :P It may be because its just a little arm
off the Time Warner Page (I haven't been there for about a month, so
excuse me if I'm completely off track). I think the occasional fun
snipp[et on characters or events... maybe some new drapes.. er sorry. :)
And whatever you or anyone else does to any page.. anywhere.. please stay
away from frames! They drive me nuts! (and if you don't have framse,
midi or Java.. this goes to everyone... link to my PC friendly image. ;)
http://www.snowmeow.com/~amara/images/pcfrndly.jpg)
Also, what about setting up 'meet the creator' chats off of AOL if its
possible. It may not be possible, but I've always thought its a good
marketing strategy to have your good advertisment, pages (like DC
com,ics online) and chats to reach a wider community, like the whole WWW.
:)
Just suggestions. :)
Hope you have fun with the Job anyhoo. :)

Sounds like an ideal job. Congratulations! I'll have to check that Web
page more often, now.

On the other hand, e-mailing Jim Valentino about his new line, he said
he hadn't read my work but was recommended by friends of his, whose
opinions he values.
Tell Steve, thanks.
Y'know Elayne, I've got some space for short (1-2) page stories in Buh
Hunt 4. If you or Steve want to have a go...

It was indeed. Ended up at Trafalgar Square shouting at lions.

Yeah, Steve's known Jim about as long as I have. The thanks have been
passed on (my husband is currently not subscribed to racm).

: Hunt 4. If you or Steve want to have a go...
Please e-mail me about this; I prefer to conduct business that way rather
than in public. :)
I haven't tried my hand at 2-pagers yet, but as I've been doing 8-pagers
and 22-pagers I might as well try to stretch (or shrink, as the case may
be)...

Hee! Well, I just joined news.admin.net-abuse.email and .usenet, so maybe
I'll actually learn how to one of these days... :) :) :)

Congratulations Johanna! I can't wait to see what you do with the web
page, etc. I'll miss your reviews, but hopefully, even if your
presence can't be felt in that particular way, it can be felt in
others.
Now all we need is to have someone competent over at Marvel. :)

No official Legion page could touch the length and breadth of what we
net.fans have come up with. Check out
http://www.idyllmtn.com/rac/dc/lsh/lsh_res.htm
for all the Legion web pages.
Well, OK, they COULD have some neat stuff we don't have, but there's still
more of us. So there.

So what happened to Mike and Greg? Aren't they still involved in the
multimedia thing, or is it all your baby now?
Congrats, by the way. I know it's something you've been wanting for a while.
I assume you'll be moving to NYC or thereabouts?

Greg is still at DC. Mike has moved to California to be a SYSOP on the
Warner Brothers Virtual Lot, the bastard. :)

I would assume Johanna's in Jersey City as we speak. I'm still waiting
for her preliminary report on the sushi places around there. :)
