Announcement - Going to Weekly

I have an announcement to make - I'm reducing my updating schedule to one page a week. Now, before you blame the OG OCT, Frost has nothing to do with this. When I have solid script to work on for SoG, I can easily produce both. When I'm in a block (which is often, these days) Frost gives me something to work on to at least be doing SOMETHING. The problem is that I'm having trouble GETTING solid script lately.

The issue is that this section is very, very difficult for me to write, as it is very, very personal. I'm basically attempting to take unconscious patterns of my own, bring them into the light, and consciously work them out. Surprise, surprise, these complexes aren't playing nice. I keep writing script that lasts for a few pages. Then I'll draw something and suddenly "feel" it's wrong, but have no idea how to make it right. I have to scrap that page, and sometimes the pages before it, back-track and re-write. I probably could make a small book just out of the pages I've gotten rid of, and that's just for this chapter and the end of last chapter. The best part is, every time I hit one of these wrong pages, I'm usually thrown into a Combo writer/artist's block when it comes to SoG. Not pretty.

So, the way I see it, I have two choices. I can go on a Hiatus until I figure it out, or I can give myself more time between updates. Since I have seen too many comics never come back from a Hiatus, I don't want to take a chance on that route. It is important for me to finish this, for myself as well as for my readers. As such, I've chosen the second option. It will be slower, but I hope that you are willing to be patient with me. This is a difficult time for me.

I will continue to post vote incentives according to the original schedule, so if you don't want to get out of the habit of visiting on specific days, you'll still get a comic for your troubles. It just won't be SoG.

Updates will occur every Wednesday. SoG will resume a twice-a-week schedule once I'm sure I can maintain it. Once again, thank you for your understanding.

Page 176 - Helpless Aggressor

Able to attack everyone, but not to defend herself.

Also, BEHOLD THE EPIC. While you're at it, go give Kagerou some love.

Page 175 - Turn on Me

The world is a scary place, and the only way to stay safe is to be scarier than it. The sad part is, there's a lot of evidence to lend reality to Grey's perception. Many people have attacked or been aggressive toward her. Sincerity, Racy, Generocity. The environments themselves are not welcoming places. Unfortunately, lumping the good in with the bad means that all you have is bad.

And all you can do is to be worse than it is.

On an entirely different subject, I won my Round Two match in the Oberon's Garden Original Character Tournament. I don't know who I'm against yet, but I need to address some plot bunnies first, so I cranked out the first of the plot-bunny-bits and it is now a vote incentive. If you're a little lost as to what's going on, you need to read Sending's entry, located here.... While you're at it, take a look at the rest of 'em. There's some fun people in this OCT, which is being run by GIII. You can find the details on his page. Go on...it's like two comics for the price of one...which is...free...

Page 174 - Abandoned

Two sides to every coin.

Page 173 - Pointless

so tired. sleeping now.

Page 172 - Sex and V...actually, no, just Sex.

What? I don't have to explain myself to you...

I do not shy from showing decapitated heads, but a softcore three-some scene makes me put up a warning. What does that say about me?

No nipples or wangs were exposed in the making of this page, except in the locations where they were filmed.

Page 171 - Charming Conversation

I'm learning guitar. It hurts to type. That is all.

Page 170 - Heaven

I'm not 100% happy with the effect here. I'll have to experiment to get this right in the future.
