C’mon guys, there has to be ways to do more of these around the world. I’m looking at you, specifically, Toronto.

More Amazon Licensed Fanfic Coming
Well it looks like Amazon started something (which Amazon is in the habit of doing), and more license-holders have signed on to their licensed fanfic plan.
Specifically they added Valiant Entertainment, which does not surprise me as Valiant has a fascinating history of ups, downs, morphing, and experiments.
What also is intriguing is this is fiction on comic properties – will Amazon be open to fancomics at some point?
How interesting is this? Well, I tagged my calendar to help us track what’s up here. In the areas of licensing, publishing, writing careers, and more this is going to get pretty interesting.

How To Work On Career Sustainability
Sustainability is a big thing to discuss, mostly as we watch a world of changing climate and resourcing issues come about there’s more awareness. It’s probably a few years behind, but its there.
Of course there’s other kinds of sustainability to discuss as well. We learned that an ever-inflating home markets are unsustainable. We’re learning that a blockbuster-driven Hollywood is unsustainable. Seems like a lot of stuff isn’t sustainable and we’re very surprised about that since people have only been warning us for ages.
(Do I sound bitter? I was mistrusting the housing market before it was cool. Oh gods, I’m an Econohipster.)
But out of our various looming disasters, I want to narrow down and discuss a kind of sustainability that we often miss -and that is illustrative of survivability, systems, and having a functional life.
Career sustainability.
