First Platform-Specific Content: Big Wedding Issue!

Hi folks!

It's occurred to me that most of the individual people who follow me on Dreamwidth, or visit my other Dreamwidth posts, are not members of Scans Daily. So I'm going to be reprinting some of my more interesting/relevant SD posts here.

This won't be crossposting to LJ, as the LJ management has had trouble working with fair use scanners before and I don't want to start any hassle.

For my first offering, a milestone issue! Please feel free to comment and let me know if you want to see more of these posts.

It's been a while since we last checked in with the "Life With Archie" title. As long-time readers will remember, this magazine showcases the alternate futures where Archie marries either Betty or Veronica. This resulted...somehow...in Hiram Lodge becoming an archvillain. (We've since learned more about what happened to make him that way, and it's a doozy.) Plus a whole host of other subplots.

But today, we're going to look at the main plotline in Life With Archie #16, the marriage of Kevin Keller. This is likely to be a plotline controversial with social conservatives because--



--it's interracial! I'm pretty sure this is the first interracial marriage in Archie Comics, not counting aliens or monsters.

So, how did the happy couple meet? It turns out that even in the future presented here, the US is still fighting a war in the Middle East. :-(

Free Microfic Day!

Hi! It's time for me to do a little more writing exercise, so let's have a free microfic day.

Name of Day: SKJAM!'s Free Microfic Day

Description of Service: Leave a prompt or prompts in the time window (below) and I will write at least one microfic. The themes this time will be in honor of Chinese New Year, "Dragons and other Zodiac animals."; you don't need to include any of those words in your prompt though. No fanfic, this time.

Who is Eligible: Anyone who leaves a prompt on time.

Date/Time Window: January 20-22. It may take longer than that for me to get done, of course.

Tipping? Sure, why not? My Paypal addy is skjam at yahoo dot com. If I get $10 in donations, I'll write to up to two prompts per person. If the total reaches $25, I'll make an icon related to one of the microfics for each requester. Making me a tip banner will count as $5.

Examples: Here's links to some previous microfic days. http://skjam.livejournal.com/185720.html

This offer is on both Dreamwidth and LJ, so you may want to check out both locations.
