The Pulp 2.0 Press Facebook Fan Page

As Dracula said in the now famous scene...

"LET IT BEGIN..."

Here.

As you can see below, we've been preparing this company for awhile:

New Pulp Media Loves The Knightmare !

I wanted to pass along some of the linkage we've received for our upcoming Knightmare radio serial "The Murder Legion Strikes at Midnight" debuting May 30th on Decoder Ring Theatre.

The first is a bit of two-fisted promotion by our own Scotty Godlewski.

Dave Flora of Ghost Zero fame has tweeted for us: you can reach him here: @dave_flora

and "Pappy" Ron Fortier has linked with us over at Airship 27.

If you link to any Knightmare post or our Facebook Page then please shoot me an email and send me the link.

The picture left is from historic Mack Sennett / Keystone studios in Edendale (Now Echo Park) - a suburb of Los Angeles.

If the original Knightmare serial and radio show had gone forward as Cameron Tyler had planned this would have been where they shot it.

For the whole story, please join our Facebook Group.

And above all: SUPPORT NEW PULP MEDIA!

Using New Media to Give Old Media a Face(book) Lift

One of the great things about using the internet is you can reach a lot of people at once (or nearly at once) with your message. Combine that with a compelling design and hook and you have something that generates its own income.

We've been designing a lot of the promotional email blasts for clients because they are more targeted and compelling than receiving a piece of paper in the snail mail, or an all-text email with image attachments. Who doesn't watch animated elements? Email blasts like these are also far less expensive than other forms of sales tools -- an important consideration in today's new economy.

Inexpensive. Expansive. Entertaining.
(Not necessarily in that order)

Now to put it into the "pulp" domain:

What if you were to receive one of these in your email box with a full page comic or story in it every week? Or an embedded video or animation?

What if you could click on one of the links embedded into the strip to order the print version?

Or you could click on the link to go to the forum to discuss the story, or the art or whatever?

What if you could use the characters in the strip or story to create your own content to upload back to the community?

What if it were paid for by advertising and sales?

Discuss.
(Thoroughly please. I want your whole two cents worth)

I am Networked...

I have finally placed the blog here on its own Facebook page.

Enjoy.

You Never Know What (or Who) You'll Bump Into in The Blogosphere.

Since I've posted myself up on Facebook, I've found many new friends - some I never knew I had - who are chock full o' crafty goodness and have many of the same battle scars.

Sean Hood is one of those.

We haven't had the time to compare too many notes yet, but we have many of the same "running buddies. " I am sure that in the near future I will be shamelessly exploit...er, ruthlessly using...er, partnering up with Sean and the other genre hacks for some sort of pulpiness.

Now go read.

Spreading the Pulp...

Getting used to the Facebook stuff and finding out about all the applications. I'm using Facebook to stay in touch will sorts of folks in the pulp, comics, movie and TV worlds and filtering all that into the web.

I am now cross-posting blog posts to my Facebook profile and will be trying a few more things here and there. I will also be updating my Linked In profile for business connections...

All of this with the idea that you get more (mad) pulp (bastard) where and when you want it.

Meanwhile, I am finishing what I consider to be my first draft for The Knightmare Radio Adventure. Then I get to rewrite and structure what I am calling my "top secret pulp project X." More on that as I marshal my forces and go forth with the battle plan.

You May Have Heard...

And I think there was actually a collective groan at some point, but I am now on Facebook.

Dig that pic.
