Our final Denver Comic Con 2015 episode is filled with even more awesome!

We start out talking to the new monthly mystery box company, Geek Fuel. Next up, What Pumpkin? joins us to talk about the Hive Swap video game they're working on. After that, Carly from Dragon Lady Art Studio joins us to talk about Little Wings: plushy dragons that torture and eat fairies. Finally, Chemistry Club's Micah and Jake join us IN PERSON for the first time.

Another great collection of interviews from Denver Comic Con, starting with the Stubby Shillelaghs. Next up, we talk to the founder of Dungeons and Drafts, then rapper An Hobbes. Finally, we talk to Sherry Ficklin and Tyler Jolley about what they've been up to since Denver Comic Con 2014.

Denver Comic Con 2015 brought amazing people to our table, including the AWESOME Jim Butcher, the TALENTED Josh Vogt, and the EXCITING Senda from the She's A Super Geek podcast (sasgeek.com).

Denver Comic Con sent MANY great authors our way. This week, we feature interviews with Sue Duff, Amalie Howard, and Kevin J. Anderson.

DC Comics' Van Jensen, Jeff King, Marguerite Bennett, and Steve Leioloha all joined us at Denver Comic Con for great interviews. We want to thank them for taking time out to talk to us, and a special thank you to DC Comics' Nicole Yavasile for setting these interviews up and Michael Shelling for facilitating everything on site.

At Denver Comic Con 2015, Emily got invited onto an impromptu panel about women in the comics industry. Both Michelle and Emily were there to get the entire panel, and amazing things happened!

This week is all about fixing those difficult scenes in your WiP.
