I made this post so that people would know what was happening and what was going on behind the scenes. I like to keep the reader in the loop. If anything I said looked like I was blaming the reader I am truly sorry. The readers have been fantastically understanding all thing considered and I hope to live up to the faith they have had in the comic. Readers are responsible for the successes but the failures are sit squarely on my shoulders. I never though anything else.

As for what Michelle mentioned about ‘work safe.’ Sorry Michelle, but I haven’t seen anything in the everyday comic that I would consider not safe for work. Unless you work for a mega-church or such. Then I wouldn’t even suggest a Disney cartoon in that kind of environment. I’ve spotted people at the main library looking at this comic, and no one logged a complaint.

Exiern does have an interesting plot. The male-to female change hasn’t been ‘new’ since Rama 1/2 worked it to death. In this case though, the change hasn’t reverted (yet.) Considering the emotional changes in ‘Tiff’, there is probably a fair chance that it cannot be reverted. There are also many interesting sub-plots. Unlike the average comic or web-comic, we are not exposed to ‘slap-stick/villain of the day’ or ‘I like movie X so I’ll slip it into the plot’ or ‘character development isn’t important.’ Superman can only pine for Lois Lane so much before the reader stops caring (and they ran THAT little plot line into a grave back in the 40′s.)

Exiern’s writer comes up with interesting plots that make sense. And leaves the reader wondering. For example, who is this ‘future husband?’ If it is the Sex Changed Barbarian, what happens if the spell cannot be reversed? Is Lady and Wife an acceptable coupling in Exiern’s universe (as it is in my writings) or will the Princess have to settle for someone lessor. Let us admit it, male or female body, ‘Tiff’ is certainly an excellent choice s a spouse for such story lines (and I do not mean physical shape.) Honor, dependable and has already proven that as a female is a warrior well worth having.

I look forward to further developments, I like being surprised (as Sequential Art did a couple of pages ago) as I love a good story. As for the art, it could be text only and I would read the story. Then, as a writer I prefer text, thought art is useful, text is just as useful. There is a difference between the three artists who have worked on this project, and I have enjoyed all three of their work.

One still wonders what happens with the spell-singer who is now a woman, and unknowingly sharing hir body with the once male now female Nymph.

That’s just my opinion though. I do think that the best course of action is, indeed, to make updates happen more often.

Thanks for not just throwing in the towel and collapsing it altogether. <3

Frankly, I think you would do well to advertise on Facebook. A lot of other Web comics are there, and there seems to be a decently sizable clientèle that would appreciate Exiern.

Perhaps a similar model could help you guys.

I have never made a penny on Naorhy, I probably never will. It isn’t a comic, but writing complete stories is as difficult as Booms work. As cute as Exiern is, its plot is simply too slow for the posting rate. Nor I fear, have I any money to share, having lost a car in a wreak in April (other driver ran a red light) and helping my wife heal. Thirty days without any income was a killer. Best of luck to you.
