Christy Marx Rambling Writer

PARTY TIME! Who the hell am I, you’re wondering. I’ve been a series developer, story editor, and writer for live-action and animated TV shows, too many to list here. Some things I’m known for: #JemAndTheHolograms #GIJoe #BeastWars #BuckyOHare #ConanTheAdventurer #Reboot #Babylon5 #TwilightZone #CaptainPower #TMNT

I’ve written comics and graphic novels, such as #Conan #RedSonja #SisterhoodOfSteel #Elfquest
#Amethyst #BirdsOfPrey

I’ve done game design and narrative design. My adventure games for Sierra On-line were #ConquestsOfCamelot #ConquestsOfTheLongbow. Spent 6 years at Zynga on mobile games.

I’ve written non-fiction books, most notably WRITING FOR ANIMATION, COMICS, AND GAMES: https://www.routledge.com/Writing-for-Animation-Comics-and-Games/Marx/p/book/9780815379379

Writing for Animation, Comics, and Games

This second edition of Writing for Animation, Comics, and Games expounds on the previous edition with more information on how to construct narratives for these three forms of visual storytelling media. Christy Marx’s book offers an in-depth look into scriptwriting and how to break into each of the featured industries. The text goes into detail on visual storytelling: how to compose exterior storytelling (animation, games) and interior/exterior storytelling (comics and graphic novels); as well

Hi Christy! Welcome to the fediverse!
Do not remember if we've met, but we've moved through some overlapping circles (I was head writer for Sierra's Outpost 2 and contributing writer for several other late 90s Sierra games, and wrote three "Age of Conan" novels) and I certainly know your work. Always happy to see more genre writers here

@christymarx ever do any indie comics?

@chrisamoody
Aside from my creator-owned comics, I haven't yet worked on something I would consider indie. Depends on what you consider an indie publisher. ;)

My comics credits are here: https://christymarx.com/writing.htm

Great! Keep us posted.

@christymarx I will :) Is there any specific hashtags you know of in Mastodon for indie comics?
Show threadChristy Marx Rambling WriterJan 18

@chrisamoody
I don't know of any specifically. Sometimes, I just experiment and see what Mastodon suggests when I enter something.

I tried #indieComics and it had 11 posts, so not widely used. #comics has 403, so probably a better one to use. Best idea is to use both and anything else that occurs to you.
