Notice for Strips running the Week of October 17-21st.

Anywherebuthere · Post by **Anywherebuthere** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 4:27 am

Allright...

I've done the peliminary scripts for the Strips that run the week of the 17th through the 21st...and I have to say, the strip for the 21st is going to be another multi-paged comic.

More so, it's the most emotionally draining thing I've ever written.

The language is HARSH at points. VERY harsh, so those with sensative ears may want to avoid it. The f-word count right now is much lower...

but there are a few bombs that slip in there.

And compaired to the GD strip, It's more emotional then that. FAR more emotional...with more impact, and more...

It's an amazing strip.

I'm also asking that those of you who frequent other boards...well...to give me a little buzz.

Look, I'm...I'm horrible at promoting myself. I think it's my North Dakota upbrining. We're workhorses, not show ponies. If we do something spectacular, we just kinda nod and say thank you and that's that.

We don't like being in the spotlight...

Except for this strip running in 2 weeks...

This deserves to be read. And I would LOVE it if someone could help me bring awareness to this strip. It's a masive update that's going to take me almost an entire two weeks to do.

So I guess...this is a bit o' the self promotion. With the hopes that it will generate a bit of buzz, and get a little attention.

BLASPHEMER!!!!! We don't say thank you... we start into a long spiel about how it wasn't that great and how someone else really deserves the credit, especially that God-almighty, and how we only do it because that's our job....

I'm done with the lead into the big one.

People...I'm sorry.

I'll say more on Friday.

right... cuz most comics would find a nice way to stretching it out so long that the readers were on their seat in anticipation... I mean.. you know... make them want it

.... and while we're at it... why even tell them its coming?!!! So they can plan their weekend around it?!

Sorry, if I streach this one out I'm going to get murdered in my sleep.

It's a page turner.

ESPECIALLY if I just leave it as a cliffhanger on Friday.

:NOTICE:

I said that THIS weeks strips would contain harsh language. Well...I was thinking of doing a massive update on Friday.

But some friends talked me out of it.

Instead...all that dirty language goodness...is being spread out over the next week.

Yep...I'm breaking up the multi-pager.

The thing is, it's seven pages allready....soon to be 8. And I cant figure out how to resolve that with my archives. Five I can dink with the week before and the week after to fit in those pages. Three I just publish over the weekend.

Eight? Eight's over a WEEK of work. It's friggin NUTS.

So...here's what I'm going to do.

This Friday, you get part one.

Saturday...part two...

Sunday...you can see the pattern.

I'll be updating daily untill it's all out there. All eight pages.

And you'll just have to deal with the cliffhangers as they come.

Sorry, I'ld much rather just publish the full "digest" of work...but it's just to bloody insane.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!

ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH.

I HATE HAVING LIVING BREATHING CHARACTERS LIVING IN MY HEAD.

It's no longer an 8 page update.

It's pushing 10...may possibly be cranked up to 11.

GRRRRRRR. I love my readers, I love you dearly. But you guys owe me one.

And yet any wannabe author (including me) absolutely envies your illness.

If your past suprastrips are of any indication, an 11+ page nut-punching affair should entitle you to ask for and receive anything.

If your blog posts are of any indication, the impending story ... ... damn. I'll be stocking up on Guinness in preparation.

I just wish I could deliver it all on this Friday...

By the way it's shaping up right now...it's going to run clear through the 30th...possibly the 31'st depending on how Chris reacts while I'm drawing her.
