28- Look what I can do!
I apologize for the gap in updates, for all my comics. I’ve been really really sick for the last several days. And frankly I’ve been kind of depressed for the past several weeks or months… I’ve forgotten at this point. Please bear with me as I recover, I’m going to try and pick up the pace.
I’m also considering switching up the way I do Sin Pararse, since it’s been so long since it last updated. It was pulling in quite a bit of money at first, but now it’s slowed way down. I’m not sure exactly what I’ll do differently just yet, or even if I’ll change it at all, but if you love it, hate it, or think you know the absolute best way to run a donation comic, now would be a good time to tell me.
AWWWWWWWWWW KYTRIIIIIIII!!! D:
I'm sooo sorry about your depression and your sickness. Please, it's okay about the update times. Your only human.
And Nicole drunk? Totally made my day ^_^
[hugs]
Good luck with everything, you'll be fine.
i love how shes drunk off her butt and is shooting flames on the stage bloody wonderfull as usual kytri
Okay, my money's saying that Sergio there is gonna be pissed that his "pure as the driven snow" Nicole is making a firebreathing spectacle of herself.
Well, that's the first curse I've seen in this comic.
Aw I hope things turn nice for you :(
And yeah, Nicole looks like in a lot of trouble xD
Haha! Drunken nicole has no common sense!
OMG THAT IS THE HOTTEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN!!
Ah, silly drunken Nicole. When will she learn that alcohol and fire don't mix?
As for the donation comic… I'd probably just halve the amount, see if that speeds things up a bit.
And good luck with your illness and depression! I hope you feel better soon, I know all too well that depression is really sucky, especially if you're trying to get shit done.
Caine's comment made me laugh out loaud. I got a few stares.
Also, I hope things get better for you. Being sick is full of suck and depression is even worse. -hugs-
And I want to donate, but is there a way to do it without using Paypal?
In panel eight, that person with the ears looks kind of like… Uhhhh… I think her name was Nami… I don’t know. I’m probably wrong. But seeing the back of her head gave me total Deja vu. Am I looking too far into this?
I need to go read The Rift for the 6th time now.
By the way, Nicole is hilarious. I’d make fun of her, but I’d probably end up doing the same thing in that situation. :)
I agree with the $50 for a new page idea. just up the donation amount from a min of a $1 to $2 to get a bit more of a push to the comic. Also to be honest, $100 for the public to see ONE page of the comic in this economy is a bit unrealistic, even for a donation comic. I understand you would like to bring in a little cash with the CV AU story but it seems a bit wrong to price it so high and also give no cut of the dough/ credit to Valve for their work on TF2. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy your stories and your characters but sometimes you need to give credit where credit is due before the lawyers come get you.
To be honest I picked the $100 cap mostly because it was a nice round number. I will probably lower it starting with the next page.
Re: Valve suing me. I’m pretty sure they can’t over Sin Pararse, since it contains no references to TF2 or any other Valve properties. It’s not even set in the same timeline/universe as Cuanta Vida. It’s not that I don’t think creators deserve credit, but they didn’t make anything that will end up in that comic.
It’s sort of like if I created an OC for fanfiction and then re purposed that character for an original story, the owners of the fanfiction property have no claim on my OC.
That's a bummer. o^o I'm facing the same issue with my series with the slowness of updates since I'm also in a depressed rut. >^>; But you'll get through it. 0w0 (Same with me) just give it time. It happens to everyone and that's ok. I also hope you feel better.
the hell- is that a candle in Nicole's hand? xD
It's a drink, she's lighting it on fire.
I don't run a donation comic myself, but I know someone who did a while ago, and he found that having a mailing list really helps.
Because I don't have a DA, I don't get any alerts when you post a new Sin Parase, so I don't know that there's a new one available to donate for. I only find out because I come back and check your site every so often, and because I've gotten busy recently, I don't check as often as I like. It might be the case for some other people, too?
I know there's an RSS feed and such, but I doubt a good old-fashioned mailing list could do any harm
I’m not sure how many people still use mailing lists these days, but if I can find a simple way to automate it I’d be willing to add one.
I hope you feel better, cause I’m selfish and want an update. I read all of rift, and I’m sad that it’s gone and I wasn’t a part of it while it was ongoing, but as I understand it, twiyeh is related to rift, no? Even if it isn’t, I still hope you update soon, and feel better sooner.
There’s 3 of us plus a dog. If you want to keep us out, you better bring your A-Game.
