Bastard's Notebook

Ladies, Not-so-gentle-men, assorted Others, thugs, henches, and Things, I crave your attention!

Some of you may remember a certain post made eleven months ago. A post in which we invited those of you of villainous intent to join us, to share your tales of dastardly deeds, and to take part in a network that would allow news of your villainous deeds to spread far and wide.

During the intervening months, I'll admit, I haven't been idle- from designing and implementing a nefarious plan to spread about my soul-stealing deck of cards, to spreading propaganda, and even re-establishing the League itself as one of the more pre-eminent societies for up-and-coming villains. And during all that, I would occasionally check in on my carefully selected carrier-pigeon drop points, email inboxes, and spies, to see if any others had joined the League. Or at least spread word of their own dastardly deeds.

I think it shall surprise none of you to find out that I found, after eleven months of long waiting... nothing. No replies, no stories, no cities razed, no heroes slaughtered. Nothing. It is the Year of the Villain, and we have been asleep at the switch, my compatriots!

Thus, my friends, time for a bit of a challenge. Something to get the bit back in your teeth and the blood under your fingernails.



In just two weeks, we shall see the start of Steamcon II. Villainous villains, we strongly urge you, if you're attending, to show in your finest, and if necessary, to locate the nearest League of Extraordinary Bastards outpost at the con to register and receive further information when available. And of course, to commit any heinous acts you see fit within the constraints of being in a public convention (remember, do nothing to actively cause grief for one of the few meeting places such folk as us have!) In the meantime, I strongly urge those of you interested in the League, or in proving me wrong about the distinct lack of villainy this year, to post away and regale us with your cunning plans and activities! Or to support the League, should you feel the need to do so.

This message sponsored by the L.X.B. and is in no way, shape, or form meant to act as a method of recruitment, advertisement, or plea for your support. If you want to know more about the League, please find and ask your local red-cog cell member.

Wait, what's that? A League of Extraordinary Bastards remake? But, but, that would mean that there's a new wave of LXB merch like shirts and stickers, right?

Shirt. See also the ability to change colors or styles to almost anything you'd like it on:


Sticker. Peel, stick, and repeat. And enjoy to the full satisfaction as those puny heroes discover that you've placed stickers all over their stuff AGAIN.

Monday, bloody Monday.

Today marks the return of the mulletdwarf, as I once more begin attempting to whip my body into slightly better shape than current. How'd it go? Short hairy little bastard kicked my ass- I'm seven different kinds of sore at this point.

Speaking of bastards, the mass-market merchandising invasion of the LXB proceeds apace. I'm told that the movie deal is already in place, so long as the book deal goes through. Which, of course, means I should start writing. Or get the cockroaches to write it for themselves. Which means, in short, get the LXB stuff now, before Hollywood, The Gap, or my legal department latch onto this stuff and hike the prices to afford their drugs. Damn lawyers and their decongestants.

OK, for anyone interested in joining the "League of Extraordinary Bastards," by grabbing a few stickers from that seal I posted a little bit ago, let me know if you're up for it, and how many stickers you'd like. They're about $2.24 a pop, and I'd prefer it if you can paypal me funds towards your order, if you want any. Once they get here, I'll send/hand/courier pigeon them out to people, no extra added for postage. Just reply here if you want some, or send the number you want directly with the funds and an address I can send stuff to (paypal payments go to winneganfake (at) hotmail). I'll take orders from people until tomorrow night, then go ahead and place the order. (I figure it's a cool design. Buying in bulk nets no real discount, but it's easier that plugging in all the custom variables for the logo each time someone wanted a sticker.)

So, anyone in?
