Oh geez, hi everyone! There is a thread here for my comic! I figured I should probably speak up a little bit. I'm generally pretty shy about this stuff, and deathly afraid about getting muddled up in conversation or breathing down readers necks, so I try to kind of take a quieter authorial approach. I just finished chapter 7, so you can read it all back to back if you like! I can also try to answer some questions and address a few things mentioned in this thread.Dire Wombat posted:It feels like the author heard that stories should start close to the action and avoid exposition and took things to an extreme This is 100% true. I wanted to go for a full out fly on the wall approach when I first started. I really like stories that just throw the reader into a world, and it's up to the reader to figure out what's going on...it took me a bit to realize that's asking a heck of a lot to a casual reader, and I tried to refine it from there, I was probably a little too ambitious going out of the gate, but I'm pretty happy with hiding in background details and clues to the story. Cat Mattress posted:I love seeing the dumb pack mount introduced with the same little name + title box that spooky spirits have. "Dindrane - The Riding Alpaca". Astra had a swan named Percival, sadly he only got to be in one scene, Dindrane is a reference to that, because I am a terrible dweeb. I'd also like to do more 'Ask Lantern Zhao' Questions...the idea behind that is an 'in world' response to reader questions, but I haven't had time to do a bunch, I could definitely use some questions though. Anyway, thanks a bunch for reading! hell astro course fucked around with this message at 03:49 on Sep 24, 2014 |

A big flaming stink posted:Compared to the standard webcomic tendency to go follow the characters in painstaking detail, taking years of real life to go through weeks, I kind of like your brand of "it's 10 years later and everyone's dead!" Thanks! (I think). You see it in a lot of other media besides webcomics too, television shows...long running novel series. Shaking up the status quo can actually be pretty off putting to some people, I always wanted to do a project where people grew and changed over time and I'm glad most readers have been on board with that!
