I'm so sure I'm supposed to say something. My job is babysitting, oops - sorry, inputting. I've already read Jill's editor's comments and she's about said it all so I guess I have to be redundant. We had lots of help with Relativity, more than we can accurately convey. It's a project that's been in the works for years and we finally got our act in gear. I would just like to again thank everyone who did help:
Sharon Dickerson - Who not only kept and keeps encouraging us, but who has been beating artwork out of friends and who has been helping us advertise this zine and who keeps me supplied with all the info to do a zine.. We couldn't have done it without you.
Robin Cloward - Who we were going to only enlist for cover graphics and a cartoon or two, but she volunteered to do titles and the next thing she knew, she was elevated to paste up artist and all around "we need this - Robin can do it" person.
Annita Smith - Who gave us our wonderful cover and the addition of Cait to the Cousins' Universe.
The Wagners (Barb & Brenda) - Who were kind enough to proof anything and everything I dumped at their doorstep. They weren't very brutal in the beginning, but after I helped them massacre, uh, proof their novella (Relationships - a SMK/RS story premiering at Media West this year - how's that for a plug?), I think they learned to be cruel.
Mariann H. and Joy - Artists who were given an incredibly laughable short deadline. They drew their little hearts and hands out and we are truly, madly, deeply appreciative.
Maura - Who gave us her stories and ideas and added a whole line to the family tree.
Gina - Who gave us her own version of Equalizer history. (How many Murphy's and Stetson's can we get in one story?)
Marianne E. - Who not only gave us her wonderful story, but brought along her own artist to illo her story (thanks Jay).
The Costellos (Lorry & Kathy) - Who saved our skins with their Jet Printer (don't even talk to me about fonts and formats and...).
Thanks tn Darrel for all the help collating this monster.
A special thanks to those who helped work out the "who goes where's and who did what's" of the Cousin Family one late night at a Media West past: Cousin Bonnie, Cousin Jenn, Cousin Kris, Cousin Pat and Cousin Steve.
Oh yeah, and Jill who wrote Reunion and started this insanity. Thank you for letting me help put it together with you.
Toodle-oo
