comic for October 15, 2009 - 10/15/2009

Okay guys, here’’s the deal.  For reasons that are not up to me to disclose, Clover can no longer draw this comic.  A little while back, I talked to her about it, and she said she”d draw out the rest of this story arc and post it, but as you can see, that didn”t happen.  At the same time, I also got her permission to finish the story in prose format, so that way at least you”d all get some kind of resolution.  Plus, I love the characters and have tons planned out for them.  I don”t want to let them go.  No matter what gets decided here, I will continue to write the story.

However, to be 100% honest here, if there’’s no interest in reading it here, I”ll pull down the site.  Not to be vindictive or anything, it’’s just that I can”t afford to keep the site running if it’’s just going to continue sitting here, doing nothing at all, like it has been over the last several months.

So that’’s where you all come in.  Is there any interest in reading the story if it’’s not posted as a comic?  If there seems to be enough interest, I”ll restructure the site a bit and post here.  Alternately, if –and this is a big if– I can get Clover’’s permission and there’’s an artist out there who wants to pick it up, another artist could continue the story.  (Please do note, though, before volunteering that I don”t write in script format which can make things more difficult for adaptation.)  Any artist would have to be approved by Clover, as she was the first person to draw these characters, I just tried to bring her pictures to life by writing their stories.

Anyway.  The important thing is your opinions.  If you want to keep reading the story, let me know.  Comment here, talk to me on LJ, ping me over on Twitter or drop an e-mail to briar (dot) reed (at) gmail (dot) com.  One way or another, I really want to continue this story.  Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

ETA: 10/30/09 Okay, as I”ve received a number of comments and e-mails, the story will continue being posted here. Also, Clover sent roughs of the remaining road trip storyline, so those will go up soon. I”m away from the computer each weekend, but please expect more to come soon as I work out the best way to continue the story for you all. Thank you so much for your support, and have a happy Halloween!
