--- Quote ---Also, if Jeph simply uses Marigold as an opportunity to make fun of creepy cosplayers he meets at comic/anime conventions ... I'm going to be kind of disappointed. (NOTE: Not mad! Disappointed.) It's okay for him to make fun of skinny indie kids because he is one, but Jeph, are you sure you understand what type of dorkdom you're delving into here? For example, I don't think I know anyone who's into both Guild Wars and Inuyasha. I'm sure that person exists, BUT. I'm just pointing out that this looks like a smattering of random fandoms ("I've heard dorks talk about this!" "And also, this!"), not a comprehensive character. Hopefully you know someone like this and you're basing Marigold on him/her, otherwise ... this looks really random, plus titling it Yaoi Zone when there's CLEARLY no Yaoi in either the comic or Marigold's room ... it's very 'Hai gaiz Im going to try my hand at a funy stereotyep~ get it bcz anime/gamer/cosplayer?/I don't even KNOW nerds are LAEM"
In conclusion, I kind of hope Marigold goes away. They say to write what you know.

I disagree with the notion that there's no such thing as a broad-guage nerd. I fully admit that I'm not a king of any particular realm of nerddom, but I personally consider myself a jack of all niches. To imply that someone can't occasionally watch Inuyasha on Adult Swim before popping a Battlestar dvd in to watch while blogging about how the new Whedon-less Buffy is going to suck with WoW in another window (of course, only a level 40-something character. Being good at WoW really does take more time than any human with social skills can devote) is very limiting. There are Renaissance Nerds. None of us can clean our rooms though.

yeah, my room is a smelly dump with computers, screens, a lizard, and a fuckton of empty perrier bottles
MrDorman:
Seeing nerds of this magnitude is comforting to me in a way. Whenever I feel like a total looser, I can just think of those who are worse than I. ;p

Exactly what I though when I finished reading the posts. Touchy.
