Giderah... You... And why I gave up the sauce...

Journal Entry: Fri Feb 22, 2008, 7:59 PM
       It's only fair I share my views with you i.e. my comic. As it has been posted I have slowly been overwhelmed with the feeling that it is in many ways a disappointment for my audience, you fine folks. Which is to say at the least a disheartening idea to confront. Especially given the time and effort so far devoted. I in no way mean to whine, but to simply ask what the nature of your complaint or complaints.
      As these pages have been posted I've noticed many comments expressing confusion as to the narrative thread, one issue at least I intend to tackle now. I have no intention as a writer to make a storybook; this will never be a picture book with every action clearly written there in a convenient bubble/box for you. The idea for my comic is to visually communicate a story left open to an individual’s interpretation. I have no designs on insulting my readers or friends and maybe its wrong of me to think of it in such simple terms, but I can't help but feel that doing nothing more then a stepped up storybook would insult people especially those who have supported me so much. If I'm wrong please correct me.
      What I think would greatly help is an understanding that this will eventually be a 30+ page comic and as this goes on the plot will become if not crystal then sliding glass door clear.
      I would greatly appreciate any comments or suggestions you have, especially those of you who may not care for what I have those far posted. As much as I'm doing this for myself a large part of it is for you. It doesn't make sense to write and draw something no one else really wants to see or read.


      Thank you so much for dealing with my rant hopefully this is the last, odds are I will never again mention anything so dramatic, because quite frankly I'm no bitch.

wow poeple are really complaining about the comic? WTF? You are just trying to express your story through a visual way. I can't write for the life of me, so that is why I have been trying to work on my comic.

**points to all the meanies** Fook you all!! This is her comic!

Sorry if I am repeating myself from the chat we had. xD
But just like I said, it is the BEGINING of the frikken comic, how in the hell are you supposed to know exactly what is going on?!
Yeah, as I seen many of the webcomics on here completely explain the whole plot of the story of in the first few text boxes, and to be honest, that is a bit annoying. They could at least leave SOMETHING to the imgination, geez. -.-
But what I like about your comic is that you added mystery and keep on the edge of my seat...until i move to the middle of my seat. xD
I know I said I was confused, but that wasn't storywise, mainly cause I am so used to reading mangas all day long that when I read a regular comic I always end up reading the wrong way, so that is more of my fault.

My advice to you
IGNORE IGNORE IGNORE the confused bitchy peoples and do what you want, it is YOUR comic not anyone else. ^^

I love the feel of your comic, there is something godly on the surroundings and characters, probably because all of the golden tones.

So you've been receiving some harsh critiques? be strong, only the fool and simple whine before understanding. There's no mistake in the way you tell the story, is the closed mind that doesn't understand there's more to come, and I have no doubts it will be cool :)

Good luck!
