FANTOMEX BRIEFLY MISSING
Several Mildly Curious as to Whereabouts of Self-Proclaimed Shit-Disturber; Rest of World Continues as Usual
By Jack Ryder - Exclusive to the FANTOMEX JOURNAL
Risking the disappointment of those who might have hoped his absence permanent, SG member Fantomex suddenly reappeared in the wee hours prior to Thursday Morning. When asked about the missing time, "FX" muttered cryptic references to "having to run errands out in the Big Room" and it being necessary for him to "go around the block the long way" before demanding his right to an entertainment attorney. Citing national security concerns, Fantomex refused to comment further unless a six-figure advance against movie rights to the full story was wire-transferred into his PayPal account.
Nonetheless, a number of highly placed sources continue to leak material supporting the rumors of Fantomex leading a secret mission to the Hollow Earth in the company of allegedly deceased commedian Bill Hicks, the sole extraterrestrial survivor of the Roswell Crash, the disembodied brain of the late Harry S. Truman, and the real man Marvel Comics' "Dr. Strange" was based on. The purpose of such an exercise remains unknown, although one highly dubious story claims the goal was to acquire venture capital for a chain of combination non-fat dairy products/stripclubs to be called "SUPERMODELS BUTTERING EACH OTHER",
In closing, Fantomex declared that he'd try "really, really hard" not to do it again, but that he probably will anyway.

So, does the above make me a pro? Or a former pro, even tho' I've yet to make a decision on that? Or am I a burned-out hack whose 15 minutes are long since up?
And here I thought I had that whole "what I wanna do when I grow up" business settled years ago...
On the third hand, I have been onthe Inside, and have Secret Knowledge, including the places where various bodies are buried, so if THAT's the definition of pro, I guess I still qualify.
For what it's worth,I ain't Alan Moore/Warren Ellis/Grant Morrison or anybody else who ever hit the Top Ten list. I never made it much past 2nd string, fame-wise. I've no problem with my True Identity being known, but I wanna see if anyone can deduce it (there are already clues in various posts, not anything I put in on purpose, but clues nonetheless) - assuming anybody really gives a rat's ass...
I don't mind talking about the Industry or my work, though I don't want that to be my defining trait here on SG, 'kay? One of the reasons I'm here is to figure out who/what I am OTHER than my (former) job...
