I'd be happy to review Witch's Quarry, and I plan on reading the "Rogue X Knight" short for it unless you have any objections. (As I've stated in a few of my reviews, I'm not a fan of doing full-archive delves.)

Next on my itinerary's Goblins, and after that I'm considering doing an article with stylistic tips and tricks for writing webcomic reviews.

After reading your review, I wonder if I could have gotten even more useful feedback on my world building in the rest of WQ, but it does take me a long time to work up and I know you prefer not to have to read through whole archives. I didn't wish to drag the side story out any longer than necessary, so I hope you will understand why I choose to focus solely on the character relationship for Rogue X Knight.

It is not my intention to play up such elements as fetish material (as they quite often are). Perhaps I have underestimated the power of such an implication if one superficial element undermined the rest of my story telling? The fact that Wesyng and Deshad resemble and replace each other is more important to the main plot than their awkward, unsettling fling. Would you recommend separating the short story with a link from the rest of my comic?

LibertyCabbage wrote:Sexual stuff's always a disproportionately big deal. And even though you make it clear that it isn't supposed to be fetish material, I don't see any positive effect it has on the comic other than making it appeal more to incest fetishists. And the downside's that you're taking a very real risk of alienating your readers and potential readers. To me, it's clearly a big mistake. I don't think you need to isolate the chapter, or anything drastic like that, but it probably wouldn't hurt to give readers more of a heads-up about what's in it. After all, an incest comic like Absolute Hot Sister might kinda freak people out (1, 2), but at least readers know right away what they're getting into.

This is only the third webcomic I've trashed this badly (the other two being Flying Tigers and Crow's Touhoumon Merry Nuzlocke Run), so it's something I only do in special circumstances.

Yeah.
I'm pretty sure LC's review is the only one I've had a bad reaction to so far.

It will make the most sense if you start from the beginning, but if you feel like bouncing around instead, my two favorite story arcs are "There But For The Grace" and "Love and Space." (I supppose they rhyme, don't they?)

Sure. Those arcs are from 2008, though, and it doesn't make sense to me to review four-year-old comics when there's new material. As an amateur cartoonist, you should be gradually improving, so any criticism regarding your older work's already potentially irrelevant. And if you've hit a plateau, then that's a problem in itself.
LibertyCabbage wrote:Also, I looked at your Archives page, and the image for the current story arc (NinjasNinjasNinjas.jpg) isn't showing up for me (Firefox 15.0.1).
LibertyCabbage wrote:Oh, okay. I just saw that most of the stories said "copyright 2008," and I wasn't paying close enough attention. I can do "Love and Space," then. It looks to be about 150 pages, which is more than I usually read for reviews, but it's nothing too elaborate.
