Chris the wealth of knowledge, expertise and experience you bring to the table is very impressive. I've been reading Sore Thumbs for a long time and am enjoying the reboot.
I don't suppose I could talk you into writing a short article?
One of the things that almost all of us smaller webcomics creators hear a lot is to watch out for Comics collectives. The words evil and thieves gets bandied around a lot. I've heard horror stories about domains being siezed and sited being shut down.
I would absolutely love to hear the other side of the story. The difficulties in creating and running a collective, the capital required to even approach such an endeavor and the difficulties in raising it. The difficulties in dealing with artistic personalities in a business venture and trying to be fair with compensation while still turning a profit.
There's also tons you could tell us about running your own sites and stories. I focused on the unique experience you have in the business simply because, well, it's unique.
And if you've written something in the past that might fit the bill and have the rights to let us use it that would be fine too. I know you are incredibly busy.
Thanks for your time, and I hope you like it here enough to come back often.
