The HNK Project

Some new stuff

2010-12-10T13:35:00.000-06:00

I've been neglecting the NHK blog for awhile. But, I'm making some changes and adding new stuff. We've got Katie signed up and cleared to post on the NHK blog now, so I'm running out of reasons not to work on the site.

What Really Happened At the A-Kon Anime Hell

Looking for cheap digital cameras now.

Forward by Katie

Ask Katie to write a quick forward for the book, accompanied by a Katie photo, too.

Photos

2008-04-27T17:11:00.000-05:00

Need to pick and clear the rights for the photos for the book. Talk to Bruce and Josh.

Deadline for HNK

2008-04-17T08:34:00.001-05:00

Deadline for the artwork has now passed. We are now into the Pre-Press phase of the project.

Pieces of Crossy

2008-02-13T12:08:00.000-06:00

Crossy: some assembly required.

New comic up

2008-02-05T13:25:00.000-06:00

I don't know why I'm posting this.

Hell Nurse Katie Banner

2007-12-18T13:24:00.000-06:00

Full color business cards for Hell Nurse Katie

2007-12-18T09:36:00.001-06:00

We can get 100 full color business cards for $10 here. So we really need to come up with some designs and get 'em printed ASAP!

Hell Nurse Katie promos

2007-12-18T08:46:00.001-06:00

Looking at ways to promote HNK. Will have report for next meeting in 2008.

Webcomics Nation banners are 200px by 76px

Set up a HNK page at Webcomics Nation. Revising as I go.

WTF

2007-12-10T11:47:00.000-06:00

What the heck?

Amazon wish list?

2007-12-05T14:42:00.000-06:00

Do we want to set up a Nurse Katie wishlist on Amazon? Does Katie already have a wishlist?

Question

2007-12-05T14:40:00.001-06:00

If Nurse Katie had a magical pony what would it be called?

Live Journal Connection

2007-12-04T08:43:00.000-06:00

It turns out that our biggest spike in traffic came from Live Journal traffic. So, I guess when we post new comics and what not we really need to make a post about it on our own Live Journal pages. And let it disseminate from there.

The second biggest source of traffic is of course from the main AnimeHELL site. Which makes sense.

Traffic Spike

2007-11-28T14:55:00.000-06:00

Interesting note: Our biggest day of traffic at hellnurse.com? The day Bruce posted his first 4koma. Way to go Bruce!

Lulu.com has arrived

2007-11-28T14:48:00.001-06:00

It actually showed up on the day I got the shipping e-mail. So, it's pretty fast. I'll bring the demo book to the Sunday meeting, 9pm. See it there.

Lulu.com has shipped

2007-11-26T13:38:00.001-06:00

We'll see how long it takes to get the book....

Test printing at Lulu

2007-11-21T14:54:00.002-06:00

Set up and ordered a test printing for the HNK book at lulu.com. Projected cost right now at $5.50 a book.

Fanart posted

2007-11-21T14:54:00.001-06:00

Nurse Katie fanart posted.

Twelve

2007-11-20T10:58:00.000-06:00

We had a record number of visitors to the HNK website yesterday. A whopping 12 visitors. To help that I've put up a link on the front page of http://www.animehell.org to direct some traffic to HNK.

I'm currently coding OtakuHELL.org to be the shopping page for HNK. I'll direct traffic to OtakuHELL to sell the book and tee shirts and calendars and what not.

A Very Hell Nurse Katie Thanksgiving

2007-11-19T15:00:00.001-06:00

How soon can we get a HNK Thanksgiving illo ready to post on the website? I need a good breast and thigh caption to go with it! And takers?

Paging Nurse Katie

2007-11-19T09:28:00.001-06:00

Hey, Katie! Where you at?

Convention/Street Teams

2007-11-16T16:33:00.001-06:00

While thinking about a fanclub and promotion I remembered "Street Teams." They do promotion by giving posters and fliers and the like to team members who go around spreading the promotional material. If we could recruit Team Members who go to cons that we don't go to and have them put out fliers on freebie tables?

hellnursekatie.com now up

2007-11-16T16:18:00.000-06:00

hellnursekatie.com now redirects to the main site. Update your bookmarks!

How to run a fanclub

2007-11-16T13:56:00.000-06:00

Ok, I've been thinking about this and I'm stumped. How do we run a HNK fanclub? Any thoughts or ideas?

Folks sign up and then we'll have a mailing list, right? But what do the fanclub members get besides on a mailing list?

Ok, here's what I've come up with: Put a paypal button on the website. If somebody donates a buck we send them a signed Katie photo, a "Letter from Nurse Katie," and I don't know maybe a "Official Hell Nurse Fanclub Certificate?"

What do you all think?

HNK Live Journal Community

Set up and ready to work the magic!

HNK X-Mas Card

2007-11-16T09:56:00.000-06:00

While this is still fresh in my mind, I was thinking of a Hell Nurse Katie X-Mas card. I'm doing some sketches right now, if they don't work maybe Ed can come up with something, Ed's really good with the X-Mas themes. Jump in if you've got anything for this...

HNK Art Update!

2007-11-16T00:45:00.000-06:00

I've posted a sketch of the Katie character over at the main site...

New name, still the production blog

2007-11-15T19:01:00.000-06:00

To stop the confusion with the Official Hell Nurse Katie website/blog I've renamed this production blog, "The HNK Project." That should do the trick!

$100 for a speaking role!

2007-11-15T14:18:00.001-06:00

Can you dig that? If you donate $100 to Diva Lea she'll put you in Rumble Girls and give you a speaking part! We should do that, too!

Ask Nurse Katie Font

Bio and Info

2007-11-15T08:21:00.001-06:00

Katie reminds me that we need to set up Bio and Info pages on the website. Thanks Katie!

HNK e-mail

2007-11-13T17:48:00.000-06:00

HNK e-mail account set up at hellnursekatie@gmail.com

hellnurse.com is live

2007-11-13T12:38:00.001-06:00

We had an operator head space error but I finally figured it all out and we'll have more content up on hellnurse.com this week. Hopefully with fewer goofs on my part...

More to do, more done.

2007-11-12T10:13:00.000-06:00

We're working up updating the HNK website this week. We'll be starting a Pinup Calendar contest and hope to have it done the same time the book goes to the printer. In the mean time I'm busy thumbing a story up and doing a few pinups for the website. And maybe a rough of the cover for the book...

Better.

2007-11-09T09:47:00.001-06:00

Maybe not the final

2007-11-08T15:14:00.001-06:00

Better

2007-11-08T14:09:00.001-06:00

A bit smallish

2007-11-08T14:06:00.000-06:00

Coming Soon...

2007-11-08T07:53:00.000-06:00

We're in the process of putting together the Magical HELL Nurse Katie project and hope to be posting it soon. Check back for updates and news!
