Hey, everyone. Just wanted to first of all let everyone know that Wowio.com has finally improved now that they’ve landed the support of Top Cow comics, and they’ve changed their agreement. It’s now a more straight forward thing where you can preview the first 15 pages and then buy the full ebook for $3.99. I actually make a bit more money on the Wowio ebooks now that they’ve changed their agreement, so if you’re interested in getting the ebook check out the link on the left that says Wowio.com.
Also, I just wanted to let everyone know that right now the big hold up on any new comic pages is the writing. I’ve been feeling like crud the last few days, and just unable to do much. But I need to do an official outline of the whole story and then each chapter. Then I need to write the full script for chapter 7. I’m going to continue more or less where we left off but there will be some changes and refinements. But the writing comes first and I can’t do anything without writing the next chapter and outlining out the whole story. That’s a lot of work so don’t expect it to happen over night, because I’ve been pretty sick. But that’s basically the big hold up right now. But thanks to everyone who’s been supporting TFR for so long. You’ve been awesome.
Hey, great to hear you’re definitely re-starting this
!
Don’t worry, I’m sure we can wait for the relaunch, and getting everything straight in advance will only improve it
.
Good luck, and I hope health and enthusiasm hold out.
Thanks. I’d just remember that I’ve got a lot of health issues so it’s hard to do stuff like this. Especially now. But I’d like to get it going again as best as I can.
About buying ebooks. I know that “action in your comic was just about to begin, so there is no action in ebooks on sale. By “action” I mean some story related revelations. If I’ll make story till this blurry point — I’ll buy ebook (=
(and maybe many more others too)
** If YOU’ll make story till this blurry point — I’ll buy ebook (=
(sorry for mistake)
So you mean if I make the story of the ebook up to this point right before the action starts? Or did you mean the webcomic online? Sorry, I’m a little foggy this morning, not thinking clearly as I would like. It’s my illness. Not feeling too good.
Just so everyone knows (because I forgot to mention it) vol. 1 of the ebook goes from the new beginning of the story, to the end of the the big spaceship chase with Brin and the bug-eyed aliens, and right before Gilrec goes to the engagement party. So chapters 1-4. Then I put the original beginning in as a bonus at the end of the volume. (I’d put it at the beginning but the art isn’t as good and I don’t want that to be people’s first impression of it.)
I still have to color like 11-12 pages before I can put together volume two which will take it up to the end of chapter 5. I’ve just been too sick to sit and color them. It’s a lot of work. I’ve got a lot of important things that need doing too but just can’t do them at the moment.
Anyway, sorry for my slowness. I’m just feeling kind of crumby and all. I’d ask to have some enterprising artist color those pages for me, but I have no money to pay and I don’t ask for artists to do work for free and not get paid. Artists should get paid. Besides, TFR doesn’t sell that well, so I’m not sure it’s worth it. Still, I would like to get it done.
