You know, one of the many things that pissed me off today was browsing through Marvel's site and discovering the updated Open Submission Policy. It seems the days of mailing in your work is at in end. The guidelines were quite simple a few years ago. I would have submitted sooner, but I just didn't have the confidence. Now, it's just gone. I'm not sure when it happened, but this is a monkey-wrench in my plans. What happened? I guess too many scrubs submitted their crap and Marvel had enough...?

The good news is that an aspiring comic book artist can still submit his or her work at a convention, but the convenience of postal mail and email is no longer an option. I'm royally pissed. I kinda like conventions, but I rarely go to them. Hell, even if I do manage to get in, it's only for a day. I'm a poor person, for Pete's sake. Conventions don't fit in my limited budget.

I suppose one day at a convention is enough to get the job done. Unfortunately, doing it this way adds more pressure to an already stressed out person. I don't mind being proactive... it's just...

...fuck.
