Chapter Two: In progress…

So, I thought I’d either be ready to start Chapter Two after that six-part “Author’s History” bit, or at the very least I’d know when I’d be able to start it so I could post a “Comic will resume on (date)” page.

And as it turns out, I don’t have Chapter Two ready to start just yet. So that means I’m going to post a page saying that the comic will start again on such-and-such date, right?

Actually, you guys deserve better than that. I mean, clearly you have most excellent taste in comics, so obviously you deserve better than that. I’m also feeling inspired by Schlock Mercenary to make the commitment to never miss an update. Except for that one I already missed, but that’s it.

So while I labor away at getting the second chapter finalized, I’m going to post a generic/filler strip each week so that there will always be something, even if not the formal start of the next adventure. It may not be a page with the main cast, it may not be cannon, it might be composed of rough sketches or it might depend on a lot of repeated frames. But I am making it my goal to have suitable entertainment each week.

Also, I’m gonna try something out here. I’m gonna post some progress bars and update them each day. This might help me keep myself on track or at least show my commitment; we’ll see.

Final Edit: The status bar and updates thing didn’t work out to well. Mostly, the milestones I set weren’t as quickly attained as I had thought. I’m leaving this showing the stats as they were when I started the chapter.

Chapter ending soon…

So I’m just a couple pages away from the end of the first chapter, and chapter two isn’t quite ready to start yet. I’ve still got to finalize the script, and I also I need to do some prepwork for new locations, characters, want to build a small buffer, and so forth.

I’m not entirely sure how long I will take, but I don’t want to leave the comic hanging empty until the next chapter starts, or at least, not until I can specify a date to say when the comic will start up again.

Anyway, I’d like to add some filler pages while I get chapter two ready, so I’m open to any guest pages or guest artwork that anyone wants to submit. And failing that, I might do some Q&A pages. So if you have any questions, ask them, and I might feature their answers on the main page, or if you want to draw a guest page, I might feature that. (No mature content or pin-ups, please.)

I can’t quite promise how much I will use; I’ve never done this before, but I’m hoping to only need a month of filler content.

Links, updated

I created a facebook page for Mischief in Maytia, so if anyone of you are big facebook people, you can find the link to it just to your left.

While I was at it I added a link to my Deviant Art page, so there’s that too if you’re interested.

And since I’m talking about links, I thought I might as well point something out. If you’ve been by my links page you may be aware that I’ve been adding a new comic to that page every one or two weeks, until I finally reach the day where all the comics I read are up there. While Goggle Analytics tells me that nobody is checking that each week to see what new comic I’ve added, it occurs to me that if someone wanted to they might have a hard time even being sure if I’ve updated it that week. So in the opening blurb I’ve added a short sentence where I list the last two comics I’ve added.
