A funny thing happened in late 2014. This little webseries I created & wrote for SmokeBomb entertainment became kind of a thing. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, the series is called Carmilla. It's an adaptation of the novella by the same name by J. Sheridan Le Fanu, and available on YouTube through Vervegirl TV, and on social media:

In particular, the fan response has been amazing. I've been blown away by their art, their analysis, (much of which you can find on Tumblr) and their terrific enthusiasm. Carmilla is going to have a Season 2 in Spring of 2015, largely based on the sheer awesomeness of our fanbase.
In the meantime, I thought I would do a quick round-up of some of Carmilla's terrific press, and a selection of the many fascinating interviews we've done since we launched. Here we go:
