Kelly Sue DeConnick Talks 30 DAYS OF NIGHT, Swooping and Banging, and Manga
DeConnick has interesting words on translating manga to english. I've always had an interest in that business. She talks aboout 30 DAYS OF NIGHT, mainly, but I'm not as familiar with that work. She also talks about the birth of two terms I use quite a bit.
NRAMA: And finally…you’re credited with being the first to call San Diego Comic-Con "Nerd Prom." How’s it feel to see that term become so widespread?KSD: Heh. Funny you should ask that. There's been a mix-up somewhere. Fraction actually coined "nerd prom." (In fact, I thought it was Han Q. Duong's, but apparently it was Fraction's.) I think I was the first one to use it with Ellis, and thus the legend was born. I came up with "futurephone," and somehow Fraction got credited with that, so I suppose it all comes out in the wash.
