Her poor grammar is intentional, right?

MSperoni · 02-28-2011, 02:40 PM

Me is no good at grammars.

BigDemonicBunny · 02-28-2011, 03:18 PM

As a sidenote. That final panel made me think of Thief.

As "The Dreadful" goes, the fantasy element in it will be more evident. It's not so much now, but I mixed the two genres.

It's not a fantasy based on strict DnD rules, but there will be dwarfs and elves and orcs, dragons, etc. Undead stuff. Golems. Mages. Knights of a sort who wield melee weapons as well as guns (which will make sense when they appear). Kit is sorta like a DnD Tiefling (if you wanna think of her that way, that is).

It's fun trying to figure out ways to combine the genres. I tend to think of it as a Western, but it's just as much of a fantasy.

Mentioning Thief made me think of all that

(him being an elf and all).

I'm really excited for this, but it irks me to read things like this one page at a time. I usaully wait a few months and then read all of the comics that have come out since. I'm going to reserve most of my judgments at the moment.

I was gonna suggest to Brian having a "Dreadful Week" where we post like a page every day that week. That would eat up a bit of the buffer, but it might be a good thing to do in order to kick-start the series.

AND "Dreadful Week" opens up so many possibilities for silly jokes. "Having a dreadful week?"......and others (I can only think of one. Many possibilities indeed :P )

EDIT: Now might be the best time to launch the dreadful week.. I'll Email him/Tweet him and see what he thinks :P All it takes is a page posted and a little news post.. I have a pretty huge buffer built up, I'll be through page 16 by the end of this week. So I don't think the hit to the buffer will be THAT bad.

BlackMageFF1 · 03-01-2011, 10:54 AM

That would be cool. And you could maybe do that like every few months or so (I hope I don't sound too demanding).

One might say you are... dreadfully uninspired.

I'd be okay with having a "Dreadful Week" every so often if the scheduling allows for it (and the buffer is big enough at the time).

EDIT: If I could make The Dreadful something that brings in some cash-flow I could just focus on it and not have to worry about doing it "on the side" or when there is "time available". There'd be a bigger chance of more pages per week if that was the case. I don't wanna say that'd be guaranteed, cause even if The Dreadful was making me money I'd still have HIKYM to work on, as well as some other things.

Still, as it stands now, The Dreadful isn't something I can spend 100% of my time on. Which is one of the reasons it's being posted twice a week instead of more.

I dare say, sir. The fact there are only two comics posted a week is simply dreadful! *sips tea*
