It's called Sun Valley, that little ditch of insanity between I-25 and Federal, and 8th and 12th Avenues. It's mostly the projects, but I'm thinking something like 925 Decatur St, 80204 would be just great. Of course, you could just tell him to fuck off and threaten him with harrassment charges if he continues to show up. Possibly even stalking. And if it makes any difference Grem, you have plenty of fans like me who are completely sane. Or at least have their neuroses and psychoses under control.

It means he's burned his bridges in Arizona and thinks he can weasel a new place to do meth out of Gremlin. Not that that's actually going to work or anything, but he's dumb enough to think he'll get a meal ticket out of this ass-kissing scam. I'm just glad he doesn't talk to us. Of course, I'm planning on that happening the second Colorado doesn't work out for him. If he does ask about me, everyone is free to give him "our address": 13910 South Wilmington Avenue Compton, California 93645 (or if he believes we still live in Denver, anywhere near five points'll miraculously turn out to be our address).

In case anyone doesn't know, dvswraith is an ex of mine. Meth-addicted, alcoholic, toothless, worthless, compulsive lying, waste of pretty much everything that he is, it's still humorous to know that he still considers himself somehow legitimate. Baron and I are pretty sure he's actually gay, which makes his use of "my man" all the more interesting. And Nobi, you have no clue about the greasy, slimy feeling this guy leaves, but I'd better not say anymore, or I'll be puking all night. *Here's to hoping it'll post this time...

But from this... yeecchh. Kind of leaves a slimy/greasy feeling on your soul, doesn't it? And this is how he's spending his Christmas? That's, I dunno, kinda really desperately sad and pitiful, in a way I just can't bring myself to care about. Not that it's going to go anywhere, anyway. "I know a guy who might invest" = I nominate him for super-crazy fan. Every author has one. I honestly don't remember ever personally interacting with the dweeb while he was still around.

You may not remember me, I was Skips's "replacement" for you. I have a legitimate shot at your story going big. I'm not full of shit here. You're girl thinks I am, and probably has reason to... [20:24] gremlindotnet: Which story? [20:28] dvswraith: Pandemic [20:28] dvswraith: You sent me the first chapter, roughly...a year ago.. [20:29] gremlindotnet: Okay. [20:30] dvswraith: Wraith, Jason, Skip's best friend for a while, Denver, Colorado....does any of this help you? [20:30] gremlindotnet: Yeah. I know how you are. [20:30] gremlindotnet: who* [20:30] dvswraith: Good. [20:32] dvswraith: I can't promise my benefactor's reaction, or opinion, but, as a reader, and fan, of the story, would you like me to, with no strings attached...try? [20:32] gremlindotnet: Okay. You know where the book is? [20:33] gremlindotnet: (Link: http://www.lulu.com/content/204679)http://www.lulu.com/content/204679 [20:33] dvswraith: Last time I talked to you, it wasn't even finished Grem... [20:34] gremlindotnet: I released it on Halloween2005. [20:34] dvswraith: Holly shit. 2 YEARS AGO??? [20:34] gremlindotnet: Yup. [20:35] dvswraith: Wow, ok. Done Anything with it yet? (No offense intended) [20:35] gremlindotnet: We're discussing the filmrights. Shooting hasn't begun. [20:37] dvswraith: Shit....I want to star in it!!!. Ok, well, I guess then that publishing the thing is long past? [20:37] gremlindotnet: Yeah. It's out. Though the pulp options are still kinda open. [20:38] dvswraith: Don't "B Movie" this thing bud...it's BETTER than that, at least as far as I read... [20:39] gremlindotnet: That's part of the discussion. One of the bidders is big. He tends to dump nine figures into films. [20:41] dvswraith: Whoa...Ok...back to the previous line then...Can I be in it?? Sorry to bother with this man, I hadn't realized it had become this big.. [20:41] gremlindotnet: We're not really into casting yet. [20:41] dvswraith: Well, and I'm 750 miles away now so... [20:43] dvswraith: I was just curious as to whether you had done anything with it yet, because I thought, based on what I had read, that it was just a brilliant, well thought out, story, without stealing anthing from previous genres. [20:44] gremlindotnet: There's stolen stuff; but it admits that. One of the characters has seen every zombiefilm ever made. [20:45] dvswraith: OF COURSE. That's not strolen bud, that's paying Homage. [20:46] gremlindotnet: That link has a preview of the first 150 pages or so. If your people do massmarket paperbacks, I suppose it would give them an idea. Not that they couldn't just buy a copy and see it. [20:50] dvswraith: Let's be honest...."My people", huh-uh Just a guy I Know with a lot of money to throw around on a huge handfull of projects, just on bullshit things here in Arizona....and, you'rs, my pseudo-friend, is not a "bullshit" project. [20:51] gremlindotnet: Okay. Have him grab a copy, read it, and pitch whatever he's got in mind. [20:54] dvswraith: Pitch for what? Publish?, or Film? [20:55] gremlindotnet: It's published in hardcover. The paperback rights are still open. I suppose the filmrights are open until I sign something. But that would be a lot of cash. [20:57] dvswraith: Ok, number 1: Tell me how I can get a hardcover copy of the full thing for my OWN, personal enjoyment. (Cause, I loved the "teaser" you sent me), and...if it's already published, then let me talk to my friend, and employer, about film... [20:58] gremlindotnet: The hardcover's at the link I gave you. (Link: http://www.lulu.com/content/204679)http://www.lulu.com/content/204679 [20:59] gremlindotnet: The trick with the film is holding out for something worth making. As complex as the book is, it wouldn't be cheap. [21:00] dvswraith: Sorry if I missed that link before, I'm on pain pills for a broken elbow.....my bad. But, regardless, I'm still for real here bud. [21:00] gremlindotnet: Okay. [21:02] dvswraith: Do you have any experience with (And I feel stupid asking this) writing up a legally, binding contract? Just for the sole, purpose of protecting your rights? [21:03] gremlindotnet: Yeah. [21:05] dvswraith: Ok. Let me talk with my man, and then, you, I can discuss the details, and then we can work towards a deal; at least with my between my benefactor, and you. Agreed? [21:05] gremlindotnet: Okay. [21:06] dvswraith: Okay. [21:07] dvswraith: Give me a couple of days, it is the Giftmas Season afterall... [21:07] gremlindotnet: Yeah. [21:10] dvswraith: Okay. Time for bed. Work tomorrow, and all that. Talk to you tomorrow. Agreed? [21:10] gremlindotnet: I'll probably be around. [21:10] dvswraith: Hope so, if not, you'll get a message. Talk to you soon.
