Hi Dave. I appreciate that my timing isn't great given you are in the middle of the Kickstarter for Cerebus Archive 7, but I wanted to give you as much notice as possible of my decision to (reluctantly) wind down my involvement with 'A Moment Of Cerebus'.

I have really enjoyed working on AMOC over the last 6 years and I sincerely hope that it has helped in some small way to help promote Cerebus and your work, but... I'll be starting a new job soon. It's a big deal for me (promotion, more responsibility -- and stress!) and I really need to be focused on that 100%.

Could you give some thought as to what you would like to do with AMOC in the future?

One option is that you simply make AMOC your own official web-site and have Dave Fisher run it under your supervision. Alternatively, I could put out a request on the blog for another fan to take it over, but that route has obvious risks attached.

I'll keep the wheels on everything until after the Kickstarter campaign, but it would be good to hand AMOC over to somebody soon after that.

Be in no doubt that I will always have the deepest respect and admiration for your work and integrity.

Kind regards,

Tim

Hi Tim. Congratulations on your new job!

I would suggest that you do a post to AMOC explaining what, exactly is involved in running the website. Be brutally honest about what the impact on your life has been. Has it gotten easier? Are there easier ways to do it? Are there pluses to it and what are they? What personality type is needed? See who's interested on that basis.

Fisher isn't a possibility right now with the volume of work needed to get the Cerebus Archive ready for when I'm dead and I want to maintain an arm's length relationship to AMOC. An official website leads to too many potential legal problems down the line and the impression that this is how you can get ahold of Dave Sim.

Let me know what you come up with and congratulations again!

Dave

AMOC EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

JOB SPECIFICATION

The Role:

Assuming the goal remains to provide daily AMOC content to promote awareness of "Cerebus", the main time-consuming challenge is being able to generate ideas and blog content for 4 days a week (Dave, Margaret and Sean currently provide the other 3 days content). Additionally, there is a need to 'own' the AMOC site (eg updating the right-hand side-bar every so often, quietly fixing errors in the background, adding links as necessary etc). Also, the associated Twitter feed takes a little work too if it's potential is to be maximised.

Skills Required:

While Blogger itself is pretty user-friendly, a beginner's knowledge of HTML code would be helpful. The ability of manipulate / optimise images for the web (via Photoshop, Fireworks or similar) is pretty essential. An ability to spell correctly, while helpful, is not essential I find (!).  Saint-like patience, good inter-personal skills and the ability to ignore emails without feeling guilty are all useful life skills which will be tested to the full.

The Ideal Candidate:

The position would ideally suit a borderline-obsessive personality type, looking to fill a void in their life.

Rewards:

None to speak of really (other than the satisfaction of "doing a good deed for Dave"). No fame. No fortune. It literally is 'a thankless job' where you are guaranteed to please pretty much nobody. It'll probably get harder over time as you alienate one-by-one the very fans it is designed for. You will soon begin to question your own sanity and regularly ponder how your life went so badly wrong.

Applications:

Interested candidates are invited to make their 'pitch' in the comments section below.
