Just so it's clear...

 

No one has ever ghostwritten for me, ever, ever, ever.

Yesterday I "leaked" that I have been writing a DC title under a pen name for a year. Less that 24 hours later, we have three "prongs" growing from this handle:

1) That I am inking under a pen name…

2) That I am ghostwriting -- which is using someone else's name…

3) That I'm doing it for someone other than DC.

Clearly, the best way to keep a secret is to announce it on the internet!

ghostwriting are:

Powerpuff Girls

and

Looney Tunes

Whenver we have these guessing games we always seem to have this trend where some people think the best way to find the answer is to ignore the clues.

Andrew,

JB said he was ghost-writing a DC title. I took his post above
(from which you quoted) to be pointing out things people have
incorrectly made up about the whole ordeal. I don't think they
were clues....Maybe I'm completely lost.

I have a strong feeling that JB will announce this title on 04/01/05. :-)

So did I. I think you misunderstood my post. I was pointing out how when JB says once thing eg ("A DC Title") somebody will always ignore it and suggest something else. We had a lot of this with the Doom Patrol guessing Game. JB would say something like "It's a team book" and somebody would guess "Batman".

Er...um, no he didn't.  He said he was writing under a pen-name.  Not Ghostwriting.

I thought 'ghostwriter' and 'pen name' were the same thing. Can someone edit the thread title to stop some of the confusion?
