A Self-Important Announcement

Hello. My name’s Dave and I’m a ruthless self-publicist.

While enjoying a few glasses of wine last night, I had an unfeasible idea. I normally have unfeasible ideas after wine, including the Ribbed Tampon and a self-lubricating iPhone screen to avoid the condition of “Tweeter’s Thumb”. But this one I thought I might have a less horrendous chance of fruition. Or lawsuits.

I’ve been questioning the point of this website. In a good way. Don’t get me wrong, I love doing stuff on here simply because I think it’ll make you guys giggle but… well… is their an end to these means? In other words, can this somehow further my career goal to make people wee themselves with laughter for a living and make the Better Half happy?

All these stupid Star Wars / Star Trek /Zombie screenshot sketches I do? I thought they might make a fun “toilet book”. I have shelves full of these things. ‘Great Lies to Tell Small Children’, a book on sheds, naughty street names. They’re great for flicking through while there’s a ‘Disturbance in the Force’.

Now, I have no idea how to go about this. I’m guessing the rights issues are going to be a nightmare. But if I could somehow get rights, I’ve still got tons of ideas that I want to do where I just can’t find the right screenshots.

And then find a publisher.

Difficult – Difficult – Lemon – Difficult.

Anyway, I have made the first tiny step by setting up a new Twitter account named @Dave_Fett

With this account, I’ll post links specifically to the funny sci-fi zombie stuff. The idea being that I’d like to get a nice big chunky following who I can make giggle on a daily basis and then go to people “Look, there’s a market for this shit!”. So, please, if you’re a Tweeter, feel free to follow me by clicking on the link above!

Don’t worry, I’ll still post the usual rambling stuff here and at @ArmyofDave It’ll be business as usual. It’s just that I’ll have a way of organising the stuff better.

Any thoughts?

Love

Dave x

  1. building a platofrm would indeed be the first step to getting your toilet book published. Agents are so much more interested when you say “My blog bets 2,000 hits a day and I’ve got 20,000 people eagerly oogling my twitter at any given moment.”

  2. I always have people oogling my twitter.

    As it were.
