Well, I suppose it was bound to happen. After nearly two years on the Warren Ellis Forum, I've just learned that two of its leading lights are now engaged to be married. A New York writer named Kelly Sue DeConnick has gotten engaged to a Web monkey and writer named Matt Fraction (no, "Fraction" isn't his real name and, no, I won't tell you what it is). Fraction lives and works in Kansas City. The two "met" on Warren's forum and eventually began a long-distance romance. They announced their engagement today and it's been the buzz of both Warren's forum and Kelly Sue's.

Although I only know either of them in this online setting, I'm actually very happy for them both. They come across as funny, genuine, sweet people and from what little I know, I think they're well suited for each other. And I'm only a little jealous of them that they're so happy together.

Okay, I'm very jealous.

I've been telling y'all about Superfast comics. Contributions continue to come in, from people inspired by Warren's call to arms.

My Internet buddy Joe Szilagyi created this one, and I'm quite impressed. Furthermore, what he's done is something I know I could do--although probably not with his skill. Anyway, enjoy it. It's a simple idea Joe had, but he did it right and he did it well.
