Holy crap, after reading this I decided to check a criticism about Exiern, and wow, you’re right. Several hatters seem to be gravitated to just mindless bashing of your writings, personally? I don’t see it. Exiern is a constant source of amusement for me, it’s over the top humor makes me think that you do this for a living. If I may make a sujestion (some thing I’m not prone to do) why not settle down with one artist and maybe find work at a studio? professional or not, your writing is great. After all, what makes us professionals?

About 1% of the “professional” writers make a living at writing, if you discount those who are living out of their cars in order to write. If you apply the normal criteria to writing that is used for professionals in other fields, there are almost no professionals out there. I prefer what one Stage Magician of my acquaintance said: “I don’t agree with the term Semi-Pro. Just because I don’t have TV specials and make thousands of dollars per show doesn’t make me any less professional than anyone else. I’m a Part-Time Pro!”

Drowemos you have an engaging story with entertaining characters. These characters have depth and are developing over time, something many so-called pros fail to achieve. The pacing is right for the medium, which is often hard for webcomics but you hit it right the first time. There is a great balance of tension, humor, horror and even romance all without detracting from the overall storyline and we often find ourselves blindsided by side plots that become more important like the recent girlification of Tiffany.

YOU may not call yourself a professional but your work tells a different story. I know writing and writers very well so don’t base your standard off whether you get money for your work or not. Nobody else in the writing industry does anyway. Believe me you are a professional. As for spelling that has never been important to a writer, hence the occupation of “proofreader” in the printing industry.

Greetings! I have been enjoying your comic for quite some time. I remember finding it a long time back when your original drawings were up and new ones were coming in that were done by I guess Boom Studio, or Studio Boom, I forget the order. I remember thinking it was odd that there was so much difference between the way it was drawn at the start and now. I think I read it around the time that Tiffany was escorting the wizard through the forest and the dragon attacked the men while Denver was off, upset in the woods. Anyway, as I said, been following it for quite a while and I really, really like the story. The art is good, too!

Couple questions for you: 1 – if you don’t mind sharing – how much does it cost to work with boom studio? Their website is rather bereft of . . . well, most anything besides their flash video.
2 – any plans on opening payment options for membership up to those of us with Visa cards? I’d love to chip in and donate to help keep it going.

Considering doing something of my own webcomicy, but far less visual updates, more text with culminating drawings.

3. how do you find the combination of wordpress and comicpress? Rather easy to use? I’m not very website savvy. Well, thanks for the time! Good luck with everything, and you can count on me to keep reading and enjoying.
