No, I don't know why I referred to a blog as a store. I like alliteration, piss off.
So it looks like the interviews are scrapped for now, given that everyone has taken to ignoring said requests. Just as well, really, I'm pretty sure the only one who'd respond to the last round is the one I'd rather not see savaged. And while on the subject, let's be frank: if I want another good chunk of drama, I only have a few articles left if I stick to webcomics. Maybe 5 figures, barring some upstart coming in and making shit hit the fan while I research the others.
The question is this: I'd rather not see this abandoned, but what in the hell would anyone else like to see on here, if the personal-drama well runs dry? I don't want to just start going for other drama-whoring persons alone, then I'd end up as nothing more than a poor man's Encyclopedia Dramatica (minus the memes). Short of some amazing opportunity, I'm not going to do any sort of reviews. John Solomon's got that covered and I already look like I'm riding his coattails as is at times.
Oh. Oh wow.
Okay, so it looks like I'll be doing one review. I take a break and someone has sent me a DVD which I would never buy on my own. I'll give longtime readers a guess or two as to what's contained on it.
Well, um. Suggest something. My creativity is low right now, but I do so enjoy working on this, and have no intentions of abandoning it.

Greetings.
Solomon has the reviews and the artists covered, but we know so little about the chin dribbling idiots who like these comics. The fora the terrible authors set up for their rotten comics so their stupid fans can fawn over them are wellsprings of drama and stupid. Few people can stand the places but it might be interesting to see what makes these critters tick. What sort of swine are these authors pulling to themselves, and how do they react to a bit of tweaking here and there?
It's an idea - if you don't like it, I might do it, but you're probably better at this kind of stuff (writing, writing about webcomics, not starting online bunfights with nerds, etc).
Whatever you do, don't give up on this blog I tell you. It's going good.
Yeah keep shelling out the pain for the dorks behind the comics. Just extend it to all sorts of other things--even mediums other than comics and so forth.
Also: my guess is Santa With Muscles
Hey, maybe you should try giving tips on how to do things right as an Internet Figure. Just something to help make the internet a better place. I mean, you've been watching and studying these artists for a while, so you've probably got a pretty good idea of how to generate fanbases and all that.
You could intersperse real counterexamples, of course.

Maybe tackle some of the figures in print comics?
I'll second tackling print comics figures, if you really need another topic. I find it hard to believe that you've already run through more than half of the nutters in the field, though. I'd think there were lots more webcomics personas worth filleting, still.
You could write about offline celebrities, or online celebrities that don't do comics. And my guess for the movie is one of those knock-offs "The Asylum" does...they take popular movies and steal the basic idea, then make a movie out of it.
I like the idea of doing guys in the print comic industry. Jim Shooter and Ralph Macchio are two who deserve some commentary: Shooter pissed off just about everyone in the 80's and Macchio got nearly a full page diss by the staff of Amazing Spider-Man for being a giant screw-up of an editor.
Why not hit some of the drama started between certain comic? There have been a lot of mini-drama-wars, that even I, in my complete aloofness of all the stupid crap going on, have noticed going on while I read my comics.
I agree that, if reviews are out, the fora are a good place to look for random drama as well as simply digging up more dirt. But coming from Something Awful, you must be well aware of this. Goldman "exposing" the Purple Pussy guy, anyone?
The only thing to watch out for would be trolls reading the blog and then adding to the (often long-dead) threads. ComicGenesis admins, for example, would probably as soon delete a resurrected thread as lock it.
I'll bet it's "Ctrl-Alt-Del" the Animated Series.
