threeplusfireWarren Ellis, one of the coolest writers walking this earth, is experimenting with livejournal. He's posting a novel bit by bit, much like Doctor Gogol has been doing, and you can find it here. Something definitely worth checking out, and just beginning.
I remember the first time I read Transmetropolitan. I had the first three issues, and I read it on the LX ride home from campus about 6 in the evening. The bus was over crowded and I was standing against a rail, swaying as we turned at the Arbor, and the tears were running into my shirt collar while I read and Spider typed. His words went up live, and for a moment the world stopped, and something that mattered happened. Even though it wasn't enough to entirely remake the earth and the people on it, for a moment there was something amazing. It was everything I ever dreamed about journalism being for me, and it stands as one of the reasons why I continue to write. I won't ever forget that evening, or how I felt sliding into my old car, my comic pressed to my chest, or the way the sunlight blinded me.
