We see the final battle between the new gods and the old gods, and Kate and Daniel are trying to keep their secrets hidden, or they risk losing all their allies.
Last December I lost my job with Lulu TV/Gnack. In looking to get back into freelance writing, I figured I’d contact Suicide Girls to see if they needed writers. If you don’t know, Suicide Girls is a pinup site with women sporting tattoos and piercings, but they’re also known for having kick ass interviews, news, and columns. Wil Wheaton and Warren Ellis are both writers for the magazine. It is NSFW, by the way.
Being a feeb, I promptly forgot about the email.
So you can imagine I was a tad confused and very surprised to hear back from the editor this week. We swapped several emails, and as of today, I’ll be writing for Suicide Girls starting June 16. My column is as yet untitled, but it will be focusing on geek culture, comics, SF, games, podcasting, etc.
Long time listeners/readers will remember that many years ago I lamented that no one wanted essays on geeky stuff, which is why I started Geek Fu Action Grip. But no. It was just This American Life that didn’t want it. Since then I’ve learned that Knights of the Dinner Table and Suicide Girls do want writing on geeky stuff. And I’m more than thrilled to give it to them.
The amount of squeeing going on in this house in reference to this gig has been overwhelming. Rest assured I’ll be talking about this closer to the time, and linking to my first column next month!
Share and enjoy!

that is so awesome!
Great news, Mur. Good for you.
you are so KICK ASS!!
Congrats Lady!
I’m squeeeeing for you!
Mur,
I wish you luck on your new endeavour. I confess to being a little leery, since I’ve heard of some rather unethical practices by the SG team in regards to their models and terms. However – Warren Ellis and Will Wheaton are good company, and my favorite Zen buddhist Brad Warner has written for them for a while.
On the other hand, I’ve been aware of the suit they have had against the photog Lithium Picnic and one of the original SG’s, Apnea, and it’s not pretty.
But I’ll be reading your columns, that’s for sure.
So Happy For you, Mur! i love reading what you write and will be proud to once again pass along links to others! *HUG* oh, and sorry we will miss your signing tomorrow, but we re attending the Race for the Cure for Viv. We will be there in spirit! See you soon!
That is big news! I don’t blame you for being over the moon. I can’t wait to read your first column. Congrats!
That is SERIOUSLY awesome.
Congratulations!
Congrats Mur!

Woot! Congratulations, Mur! There’s nothing quite like being pleasantly surprised by something you’d completely forgotten about.
Congratulations!
I squee on your behalf. Squee!
Way to go!
Congrats! You’re…like, famous. Hey, I know Mur Lafferty!
Wow, congratulations!
Congrats Mur, been a long time fan of both you and SG. I think you’ll be a good fit there. Looking forward to reading your column.
Holy Crap! What great news, Mur! You rock!
WOW! this is sooo good newsy! they’re very lucky to have snapped you up – one of the best things they could have done.
congratulations, mur, for a new “venue”. looking forward to the new essays to come.
Congratulations Mur, that’s fantastic! Knights of the Dinner Table and Suicide Girls — I think there’s about four or five people in this world that could successfully write for both.
Huzzah!
Congratulations! Heh. You writing a column on geek stuff for Suicide Girls now gives me two reasons to visit regularly.
Outstanding news. The more mur I can get the better,
Setting up the reminder in the calendar now.

Most excellent. It’s good to see you doing more essays. I love your essays.
This is awesome news! Now even more people will know just how hard you rock. Congrats!
Sweet. Congrats on getting the job–can’t wait to read it.
Congratulations!
Congrats, Mur! When’s your first column? The June 16 date? Or is that just the date for the beginning of your relationship with SG?
Is it going to be weekly, like Ellis’ one?
