Their group is responsible for organizing an annual Sci-fi and Fantasy Con in various places around Metro Manila.

Its aim was to provide a venue for Filipino science fiction and fantasy fans to interact, hold activities, and express themselves and their love for their respective fandoms.' ( More about their group here) I have an interview up over at New Worlds Alliance (NWA), a group that 'was founded in 2003 by seven local science fiction and fantasy fan groups: Via Astris - The Star Trek Club of the Philippines, Star Wars Philippines, The Philippine Tolkien Society, Pinoy Harry Potter, Pinoy X-Philes, Pinoy Slayers, and The Alliance of Eclectic Gamers and Interactive Storytellers (AEGIS). I'm having fun with it, because it's on Wordpress and I'm quickly finding out how cool it is. Right now, I'm just feeling it out and see where it goes. Rest assured though, that any significant thing I post about Elmer over there, I will give a link from here so all you who read Elmer and would like to be kept up to date won't miss a thing. But I think I'll try to concentrate more on ELMER on that blog, because I see it as a place where I might have more of a readership abroad and ELMER is something I'm agressively promoting outside the country. Sometimes I expect it would be unavoidable. I would hate to duplicate posts between blogs, and I'll try very hard not to do that. It's always conceivable that people may get to visit that site and not this one. I already have a regularly updated blog right here, so I was a bit hesitant to take it at first.īut I figured that the added web presence can't really be all that bad, since it would allow me the opportunity to share and promote my comics more widely. On the strength of perhaps my Elmer work, Wesley Craig Green, the head cheese of Elmer's distributor in North America, Independent Propaganda, offered me a blog on his new Ambrosia Publishing/Digicomics site.
