When Steve and I were going through the early Rather than naming ourselves something ridiculous like stages of running GayCalgary.com Magazine, the “GayCalgary and Edmonton and Lethbridge and Red Deer notion of making it all the way to our 100th edition and Banff and Grande Prairie Magazine”, or changing our branding completely to something else, we decided to return was daunting to say the least. As a monthly magazine, to our company name and trademark in its simplest form 100 editions equates to 8 years and 4 months of (GayCalgary™) tagging on only the product suffix (Magazine). publishing. So still being around today to reach this We are GayCalgary Magazine and www.GayCalgary. milestone is no small achievement. com because we operate out of Calgary, and Calgary is our We can’t say the time went by unnoticed; the years of primary market. Our slogan is still “The Voice of Alberta’s doing this have definitely worn on us in different ways. A LGBT Community” because our scope of coverage and milestone of this magnitude made us seriously think, do our target audience are still across Alberta. Edmonton is we want to keep going with GayCalgary? We gave it hard included in that scope along with many other Alberta cities, thought, and even in light of some of the rotten situations but is no longer explicitly mentioned in the name of our we have been faced with, we decided that yes we want to product. continue. …And Edmonton? The other necessary question we considered was whether we have the energy to keep going exactly like we have been, For over 5 years, we have been going to great lengths to for another 100 issues? For us, the answer was definitely treat Edmonton as a pillar city of our publication – trying no. So we had some conflicts to reconcile. We needed to to interface with them seamlessly, as if we were operated as consider making changes, in some cases sacrifices, to keep much out of Edmonton as we are out of Calgary. Keeping things sustainable for us. this up was often exhausting if not impractical, especially In last month’s column I talked about some of the as event coverage was concerned. drawbacks of being so committed to your work, and hinted So we won’t lie. Moving forward, Edmonton is going to see that we would be announcing changes to our business a slight reduction in what we do for the LGBT community in strategy in this edition – changes that will allow us to move their city. Realistically we can’t make ourselves as available forward without breaking our own backs. for Edmonton events as we are for Calgary’s, simply for the 6 hour round trip drive. Reducing our commitment to GayCalgary Magazine Edmonton and bringing it in line with our commitment to One major alteration that is evident from the cover of this other Alberta cities is one change we are making to work edition is that we have returned to our original name - well smarter rather than harder.

    (m) CHELSEA BOYS : PARADIGMAS SEXUALES DE UN CÓMIC QUEER RAFAEL M. MÉRIDA JIMÉNEZ Universitat de Lleida Más allá del barrio neoyorquino que da título a este serie de volúmenes –aunque en diálogo tanto con su realidad como con sus representaciones anteriores, como Rear Window , dónde se presenta ya como espacio sexualizado–; y más allá del estereotipo gay que la misma expresión representa, Chelsea Boys aparece como un espacio de rup- tura de clichés. En el contexto del cómic gay norteamericano que se repasa en este artí- culo, constituye una propuesta plural, donde la universalidad de las situaciones que repre- senta superan tanto el localismo como la rigidez estereotípica de algunas creaciones an- teriores. En él emerge una comunidad queer a través de cuya representación se plantean cuestiones cruciales en y para la/s realidad/es gays. PALABRAS CLAVE : cómic norteamericano, estereotipos gays, comunidad queer . Para los amigos y las amigas GLTQ de Lleida (y de Nueva York) 1. Chelsea y sus gentes Como toda gran metrópolis, Nueva York es una urbe compuesta por mu- chas pequeñas ciudades, tanto reales como imaginarias, tanto geográficas como sociales, económicas, culturales, étnicas, lingüísticas y, por supuesto, sexuales. Más allá de la tradicional división en cuatro enormes distritos (Manhattan, Bronx, Queens y Brooklyn, junto a Staten Island), Nueva York también puede segmentarse mediante multitud de coordenadas transversa- les que configuran una topografía individual y colectiva que no atiende sino a la vitalidad misma de quien(es) trace(n) su(s) mapa(s). Uno hará bien, durante su primera visita, en acarrear cualquier buena guía; mi recomenda- ción complementaria será tan obvia como la de aconsejar que, de vez en cuando, sepamos olvidarla en el albergue y nos dejemos orientar por nues- tros sentidos y, así, ojalá que felizmente, perdernos.

    Animation Development FROM PITCH TO PRODUCTION by David B. Levy Introduction “Th is is not for the faint of heart.” — Madeleine Lévesque, executive vice president of content development, 9 Story Entertainment I’m sitting here typing away in my underwear contemplating the reader- ship of this book. Why underwear? Well, I’d like this to be an intimate read, and it just so happens to be a humid New York summer day. As for subjects, I don’t think I could have chosen a more difficult one. I was recently chatting with my friend, veteran development executive Linda Simensky, telling her a curious story in which, for a moment, it looked like my hard-won (now, there’s an understatement) development deal had been squashed. Her reaction both horrified and comforted me: “I don’t know how anything gets made,” she said. Pages from my journal logging two months of pitch meetings from spring 2006. Luckily, they don’t award pitches based on ability to stay in the lines. introduction ix My dad helped design this logo for my first animation pitch to secure a development deal. Th anks, Dad! storyteller. Like a series of artist’s sketchbooks, pitches also show the creator’s development over time. Along with the anger out there, there are scores of tales of why some animation artists or writers will never pitch shows again. Sometimes it takes only one negative event for them to talk themselves out of pitching forever. Th ese are the animation development world’s Miss Havishams. Broken-hearted and jilted to the core, they spread their gospel of “Why bother?” all over the Internet.
