At first, I wasn't sure if I should call this an editorial.
Then, I thought, well it is because i'm typing it up as sort of a 'letter'. Most of the things that we post as articles wind up being letters to whoever chooses to read them. To begin with, I want to make the disclaimer that I do not have:
"Whiney-[femaledoggy]-complainy-uninformed" syndrome." :)
I needed to say that because I do not want to be burned by Galactus (all due respect), and I am not necessarily posting this to complain.
NOW, to the topic at hand. Nobody is reading my fanfics! Yeah, i've gotten a few comments on my stuff before, but not the reception I hoped for. Most of the fanfics that everybody posts are overlooked by the majority of the CBM population. Why do so many fanfics go unread? There is no right or wrong answer. Truthfully, some of the fanfics really suck and some are poorly edited. To my defense, i'm not saying that mine are always awesome, but I am severely disappointed that my fanfics have largely gone unread. I've read stories here on this website about how people get noticed by bigwigs at comic-book companies and get hired. I really wanna get that.
The sad part of all this is...I quit. I stopped finishing my stories. I would start something, nobody would read it, and then I quit. Later, I would get excited over again and start another series. The same thing happened later.
I take great pride in my work, especially because I have aspirations of being a published novelist one day. Hell, I have so many ideas for books I want to write, I'm willing to bet my left testicle that at least one of them will be a hit. In fact, I want to be the next Stephen King. To be more specific, I want his crown. I'm not going to write all horror stories per se, but I am a fiction writer.
So, to promote myself, i've compiled all the links to my work that i've posted on CBM. Some of them aren't finished, but if I get some positive reception...well, I will finish them.
Just to add suspense, I'm planning a HUGE project to show off my writing chops. The only catch is that I will need an artist. *wink wink* (hint hint) I'm not advertising yet though! I'm planning on sending out a separate article to ask for applications. It's a secret for now though. Who knows, maybe we will do something really awesome.
Friday the 13th: The Darkest Knight
If you thought that The Dark Knight had faced his greatest threat yet...you might be wrong. An old terror has been brought into Gotham, and you won't find his name on Wikipedia's list of Batman villains! This Friday the 13th, Batman will face Jason Voorhees, a type of evil he has never encountered before.

A Nightmare in Gotham: Emissary of Darkness
Freddy may have bested Jason Voorhees before, but can the fedora-donning master of dreams conquer the Caped Crusader? Batman is unwilling to let Gotham fall into darkness and he will fight tooth and nail to prevail, even if it means prevailing over his own fears.

Marvel Parallels: Fantastic Four
In the world of Marvel Parallels, nothing is the same. Many changes have been made, and some of them may have you shuddering with curiosity. The world is twisted, perverted, and made better. Find out how the Fantastic Four has been effected in this radical vision.

Watchmen vs. EA
Inspired by Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.
Read all about this uncanny competition in my exclusive outline. I have a vision for what this game would be like, and it's here! This crossover is the first of many that I have planned to post on CBM. Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Rorschach fought Dante from "Dante's Inferno", or if Issac Clarke would win against James Bond? You might encounter a few surprises on the way.
Watchmen vs. EA
As a sidenote, I would like to say that I would love to post some of my personal work. The reason that i'm not going to is because it's not CBM related. You're gonna have to wait until it's published :)
And I wouldn't mind promoting some other things I want to bring attention to.
^CBM related^
^Not CBM related, but interesting nonetheless.
