Started just in time to be eligible is Taxidriver's "Why are comic shops closing?" thread. Not only has it given the community a great springboard to discuss the pros and cons of the direct market comics establishment but it's also proven to be a place to discuss our own personal experiences(both good and bad) in our local shops and reflect on times gone bye. |

I'll nominate The Crimebusters, by Crimebuster, chronicling a behind the scenes look at the creation of his new Crimebuster pastiche comic. First, I love seeing people get involved in making comics and the small press scene, two, I love any behind the scenes look at the creative process, and three, it's just a cool concept that deserves more recognition.

Sorry for any confusion 😉 |

Sorry for any confusion 😉 But I would argue the thread is about the work he is doing, not the work itself. We are not getting the creative output of Crimebuster in the thread, we are getting a discussion of his work and process. Unlike, say one of the Fan Fiction threads or I made This, the content in this thread is not an original story or piece of art, but a discussion of the making such a work. So I wouldn't think it was eligible in the other category. -M |

If no one else nominates it for Best Original Work, I most certainly will. But you've made a compelling argument. If you want to count it, you may count it. |

I'll let my nomination stand, if no one wants to second it, well then it is what it is. -M |
