The Writers of the Apocalypse – We started as a team of 12 when Death was the last of 60 new hires to be fired 1 day before making her 90th day. She came home and went back to the one thing she’s not really good at but can stick with: storytelling. Everyone she knew was shag-haied into the project. Only the properly ambitious remained.
The Creators
Hello, my name is Katrina and 
I’m the person composing this page. I also am Death of the Writers of the Apocalypse and the founder of this troupe. I live with my cats, youngest daughter, and occasionally my husband. When I’m not being creative, I’m studying alternative history, UFOs and abductions. I also was raised to believe in reincarnation, ghosts, and how to use one’s psychic powers for fun and not profit. My input on this website reflects my background, foreground and current state of being.
I have a small resume of past accomplishments starting from 1989 which is still growing today. If you want more information about me, go to http://spearcarrier.daportfolio.com or take a look around. I’m not hard to find – which is probably why my stalker simply won’t sane up and go away. I’m an easy target.
Rebecca “War” Pinder - No one is sure just how she came into being, they only know she’s there to frighten people with her trusty machete and Mac laptop. She is our wit machine and probably the most sarcastic team member we have. She joined the military after taking on the title of War and is doing quite well for herself there.
She insists that she wants to be a visual artist, but Death is convinced that her true talent lies in her natural affinity for prose and word association. Death has tried many times to explain that prose is the very fine art of painting with language, but War is a stubborn soldier. Surprise surprise.
Akashik is her publication debut.
Jenny Anderson- Under the title of CONQUEST, it’s Jenny who is saving the day with her graphic artistic skills! With a fell swoop of her mighty tablet, she rights the wrongs of my poor lettering and brings life and joy to the depressed pages! When not working on Akashik, she is slinging newspapers at unsuspecting victims and plotting chocolate doom.
Akashik is the second web publication in her resume, but she swears she’s having fun so I won’t worry if you won’t.
Timothy Belcher
– This unknown factor, under the guise of PESTILENCE, gives us militant information and helps Taus plot the take-over of the universe. But mostly he just hangs around to keep Death happy. And to do marketing whether he likes it or not. He is the person you direct your marketing and advertising inquiries too. Just email pestilence @ apocalypsewriters.com
Team helpers include the following people:
GLITTER BOMB GIRL – Stacia Bryant. Our peanut gallery.
SARAEN – This lovely lady has dreams and knows ancient history seashells are afraid to speak of. But we tap her mind for beer, not information.
RICK SILVA – Occasionally working under the guise of Pollution, Silva is our dialogue genius. All hail the great Pollution. At other times he works as the co-owner of Dandelion Studios.
FAQ, FYI and READ THIS AND YOU MAY NOT LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT LATER.
1. What are the update schedules?
Due to financial hardships, all webcomics update as much as possible. This is not as regularly as we would like, but we’re working on it.
2. When did you start (insert project here)?
Well, Akashik itself was first drawn at the turn of the last century through a little one shot manga entitled Battle of Angels. It was published in some places and set aside until I knew I had to expand on the story. In 1997 Akashik was first started on the web and the rest is history.
Heavenly Bride was always just in my head from even when I was a child, but I told it to myself from the point of view of Taus and not the main character Lhung. One fateful day I felt a noncorporeal presence telling me the story, and so the original script was written through me by a gentle narrator. I started to put it on the web sometime in late 2008 to early 2009.
The other projects? They started when they started. ‘Nuff said.
3. How do you make these comics?
I sprinkle pixie dust onto random glue scribbles and watch the images align themselves into something meaningful?
5. Can my kids read these comics?
How old are your children again? Akashik was read by my daughter at age fourteen. She hasn’t become a raving slut maniac yet. Heavenly Bride, on the other hand, is rated for mature audiences. This means if you’re fifty years old and still acting like an infantile pile of poop you shouldn’t read my manga. Your best bet is to get to know the comic and decide for yourself.
6. You make a lot of outlandish claims in your video blogs and sometimes on this website. Do you honestly think you can continue with this insanity and not be incarcerated?
Yeah. Remember that part I mention above about being raised something other than with Christian beliefs? It’s my upbringing, it’s my walk of life, it’s my way of being. So I’ll tell you what.
You can shove your beliefs down my throat and judge me the minute I get to redecorate your house with my personal life paraphernalia, make you worship… okay I don’t worship per se but, make you do the things I do, force your children to attend boarding schools to be educated on how to be “not your kind” but “my kind”, and have you persecuted for not being like me. And if you think that could never happen, do a bit of research on Indian Schools. ‘Nuff said.
7. Well, your comic offends me. You should take it down.
No. You, on the other hand, are welcome to stop reading and find something more constructive to do with your time.
8. Why do you call yourselves the Writers of the Apocalypse?
When I first formed the team, there were a lot more of us onboard. We were going to tell the story of Akashik and turn it into an anime as soon as possible. You need a large team for that.
Unfortunately a lot of the chosen ones weren’t mature nor serious enough to keep going, so they either dropped us or were flat out fired. Soon there was only four of us left. One of us made a joke that we were the four horse-women of the Apocalypse and the idea stuck. And now here we are.
9. Why does the spaceship look like a turnip?
It didn’t look like a turnip to you?
