Quackcast 377 - Your Best Work?
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, June 5, 2018Your Javert's Options
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, June 2, 2018
So last time we had talked about the Javert trope, a category of character that is very compelling and makes for excellent drama, immense suspense and often gets their own following in fandom. (Just check out Saito Hajime's hero's journey as a prime example.)
The Javert character is ...
The Javert Effect
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, May 26, 2018
Javert is such a stellar and powerful character in Les Miserables that he has his very own trope.
He's the skilled, dogged, unwavering locomotive of a chaser that in the name of the law, the church, the state, the cause pursues and persecutes the hero of a story, and ...
Being a Generous God - when they go against the divine plan
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, May 25, 2018

In this Quackcast we chat about the categorisation of work by specific genres and how it makes it easier to promote your work to people, while for fans it makes it easier to find what you're into, but it can also be a bad thing when people categorise ...
How far can a Reboot go?
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, May 19, 2018
So I came across this new announcement of a reboot (?) due in 2019 of the nostalgic cartoon Thundercats that most of us grew up with (fine, ok, I'm only dating myself with this).
I have always been partial to Thundercats, but not overly possessive. I didn't mind the ...

Banes at 12:00AM, May 17, 2018I may have told this story in this spot before, but years ago I worked with this book called “The Artist's Way”, which included fun exercises meant to unlock the creativity most of us adults don't access regularly.
The main ongoing exercise done throughout the whole process of ...
Quackcast 373 - Stupid millennials, greedy baby-boomers and lazy Gen Xers!
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, May 8, 2018 LISTEN!
Millennials are so dumb, Gen Xers are SO lazy, and those Baby-boomers are just greedy as hell aren't they? But seriously, in THIS Quackcast we chat about the different generations of webcomicers and what's changed and what we have to learn from each other. The first generation ...
