Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What do we mean by “coming soon”?

A: Good question. The writer and artist are both very busy right now writing the story and developing the character concepts, i.e., drawing stuff. Soon we will have something to share. We promise, real soon, now. Any day. We mean it. No kidding.

Update: December 31, 2009. I've finished books 1 and 2, and will be starting book 3 this coming year. Plans have been altered, and it looks like the most viable delivery mechanism will be "Audio Web Novel," perhaps better known as a podcast. If you can tolerate my reading/podcasting skills, I think you'll find this an enjoyable experience.

Q: Define ‘soon’.

A: Anything within our lifetimes. But seriously, we are working on this thing. It’s just that the writer has a ‘real’ job and the artist is in art school. So bear with us.

As of October 5, 2008, we are homing in on the completion of the first draft of our story. It’s going to be very exciting, with an ending that’s sure to have everyone wanting to come back for more.

As of May 1, 2009, we are still “homing in” on the completion of the story. Most of the story is up to second draft strength, though, and I’ve sanitized it for a Young Adult audience. (Think Harry Potter.)

As of December 2009, books 1 and 2 are completed (second draft form). Time to start doing this thing, in earnest.

Q: That logo you got is really cool. What font did you use?

A: Adobe Reliq Std Bold Active.

Q: Why the funky orange color background?

A: It’s relevant to the story. Trust us, there’s a reason.

Q: So, what makes you think you can do a graphic novel on the web?

A: Quite frankly, we’ve seen what others have done, and this encourages us. Besides, everyone has to start somewhere. Even Stephen King was an unknown, once. And he doesn’t even draw!

Q: What’s the terminal airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

A: The square root of green.

Q: How do we contact you?

A: Email me. rla (at) afarsun (dot) net. I will get back to you as soon as I can.
