How to Succeed in Evil » Evil, inexorable evil

With a name like How to Succeed in Evil, can success even be doubted?

Well, sure. But things are going pretty well now. New podcast episode is written and should be up within the week. (Barring attack by flying monkies or someone throwing gobs of money at me to write something else)
The big news about evil is there is interest in making it into a TV show. I like the way John Rogers put it at his blog Kung Fu Monkey.

Although the bite-sized stories are intriguing, the interesting bit concerns How to Succeed in Evil, Patrick’s tale of a business consultant in the world of supervillains. He developed it first as a podcast primarily to get interest in the comic he was planning — it zoomed past that, though, and is being developed for television by actual Suited Humans with Bags of Filthy Monies. All from wee three minute, well-produced podcasts.

I have yet to see Bags of Filthy Monies yet, but I also have yet to sell out.
If you have a spare minute, read this post of John’s.

Brilliant writing. Clear thinking. Hillarious. We’ll not get into my political views either here or in the Seanachai. But this post is a wonderful example of using a story to get a point across. And as we edge on over into an election year, I would hope that all pundits and politicians take this to heart: political discourse can be entertaining. And speaking as a person who’s made an ad or two, you’re ads don’t have to suck.
Anyway, I’m, scribing away furiously on pilot episode. When it’s done, perhaps I shall have the courage to record my 7 minute pitch. But as for now, I’ve got the act outs in the right places and I don’t hate the story.
