Update 10/31/2021 (Halloween!)

ARRRRRRGH, MATEYS!!!!! I be Four-Eyes the Fabulous, and this be my color-changing pumpkin friend, Jack O’Lantern! We be takin’ over this here website!

Just kidding! It’s me, Matt! Happy Halloween, readers!

If I’m being honest, I didn’t used to like Halloween (sensory overload), but I’ve grown to it. I just have to avoid anything that would cause me to freak out, shut down, or have nightmares. But I’m getting better! In fact, I am even watching the 1978 John Carpenter classic slasher: “Halloween!”

Now, onto the news:

The Vikings of Vancouver: More TVOV coming underway! I will only post a few more comics on WordPress, before shifting distribution exclusively to Webtoon and Tapas. Most likely, I will stop posting TVOV on here after the New Year.

Parker and Luca: I am getting started on Parker and Luca comics right now. I will try to create a character sheet for them as well.

Matt (Comic): I will be starting work on this comic soon.

Mason and Eric: I am one of those people who tries not to get all “Christmassy” (or “Winter Holiday-y” overall) until the Saturday after American Thanksgiving, but what the heck! I’ll announce this year’s Christmas Special! The 2021 Christmas Special is: “Mason and Eric!” More information to be coming next week. [Postponed, not canceled]

The Waterfall: Don’t worry! I haven’t forgotten about The Waterfall. Updates will resume sometime in December.

Tales of Human Nature Serial Killer: Coming May 2022!

Blurred Lines: Well, the story is coming along now, and will be updated as much as I can through November.

Max Fields #1: Coming February 2022!

Blue City Mysteries: I am in the process of writing stories for the series right now, but I’m still trying to figure out the characters, plotlines, and each individual story. I have some of my fictional version of Lakewood, Washington built up right now, but it’s not complete yet.

Also, I am not trying to put Lakewood in a negative light. I just wanted to set the series somewhere that is a) A diverse, medium-sized suburbia in the Pacific Northwest and b) close and near to my heart. I love that city. I lived there for a few years as a young kid, I have family and friends there, and I have a lot of memories there.

Voldensfjordian Murders: If you follow my work on “Chapters” I am so sorry I haven’t updated “A Voldensfjordian Murder” or its sequels and spin-off in a while! I am trying to get back on track, but it’ll be easier when I’m out of school for Winter Break.

If you haven’t seen them, please be sure to check them out!

Other Works: I have so many ideas in my mind, I can’t keep track of them! But I will be sure to keep you updated, and whenever I start truly working on a new project, you, dear readers, will be the first to know!

Personal: I am doing well in the Geosciences Major, and can’t wait for my winter quarter Screenwriting Class. I am also doing better, mentally, now that I am doing in-person classes. I am excited for what comes next for me in college, on this website, and in life! Also, my brother turned 15 years old TODAY! A Halloween birthday, how about that?!

P.S. Yes, those are real earrings. My Ears have been pierced since February of 2019, and earrings are one of my weird, random interests. The strange part, though? I’m not a fan of piercings elsewhere. Just ears. Not sure why.

Bone-us: Here’s a picture of my dog, Pizza, in 2019, dressed in his Halloween Costume.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2021!

BE SAFE, EAT CANDY AND HAVE SOME FUN!

Halloween Special Poll 2021

I have two ideas for the 2021 Six Lakes Halloween Special. I am having trouble deciding between the two.

So I am doing a poll: which idea sounds better? Please read through the descriptions, and then take the poll below.

Blurred Lines #1 (“The Choir”): I’ve actually had the idea for a ghost-themed procedural for years.

Angela Blurry works at her family’s hotel in Gig Harbor, Washington, but also part-time as a civilian consultant for the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office. The unit she works with is the Supernatural Investigation Unit, whoch oversees murders and other crimes in the county related to the supernatural: in this universe’s case, ghosts, demons, angels, curses, possessed mortals, haunted locations, and half-ghosts.

What is a half-ghost, you ask? A half-ghost is born to a living parent and a ghost parent. While there are of course problems with this state of existence (which the story will go into) there are also advantages, such as being able to sswitch between ghost form and human form. That means one minute, a half-ghost can walk through walls, and the next minute, they can eat solid food. Half-ghosts are pretty rare, but thy exist. Just ask Angela and her brother David. Their mother is a mortal, and their father is a ghost.

The Nightman of Bellingham Bay: This idea is newer, but I’d like to see what I can do with it.

In 1956, Vampire Alvin Skinner was abandoned by the vampire who sired him. In 1969, after being released without charges from a New York holding cell following the Stonewall Riots, he finds out through a fellow vampire that the one who abandoned him is living in Bellingham, Washington. Alvin immediately heads there to seek vengence.

Upon arrival, he attracts attention from his neighbor with his mannerisms and appearance, drawing suspision that he has a rather dark reason for his presence in their city (He does, but he’s not telling). Alvin also becomes subject to rumors when he develops a fascination with high school drama teacher Ernest Zullo.

The poll will end a week from Saturday. But fear not! Both ideas will be created. However, only the one you vote for will be written this year. Let me know what you think!

This poll is now closed.
