Where did all the other people who usually comment on my comic go?
*sigh* I love you guys, seriously, but working so hard on a rather unpopular comic is starting to wear on me.;_; Not that I'll ever be able to stop, mind you. But, I just wish I'd done this 8 years ago when webcomics were new and easy to spot.>_< (Of course, then the art and writing would be terrible cuz I'd be like 16 and inexperienced.)

Aw! *hugs a-da-Snipes* Don't despair! I keep shoving WN onto people in hopes that they'll like it. I've only semi-succeeded in one case so far, but I keep trying. Hopefully I'll truly succeed with at least ONE person. >.<

I enjoy reading it, that and Magic High, white noise i have a more likable read to it, as it asks both what line will man cross, and what good or evil can come of it.

Thank you very much guys! Hehe.^^ Yeah, DDD, White Noise is much deeper and darker than Magic High. Though I do like having that fluffy fantasy comic to go back to whenever I'm burned out on WN (which has only just happened the first time, so I may start updating MH for a few weeks.) Poofie, aw! *hugs* That's nice.^^ Eh, WN probably isn't something that will appeal to a broad range of people at this point in time.>_< But hopefully that will change once settings start changing and the other main characters get here. The real strength of the comic lies in the interaction of the main cast, who all but one have not appeared on the scene yet. *_*

Interaction is what appeal to me both in a webcomic, gnip, or other form of media, its alot harder to do that kind of interaction, but pays off in a much higher quality story.

There's more main characters to look forward to!?! HAPPINESS! Well, I'll wait for some major change or two, and then return my barrage of WN-related pressure to my previous victims, as well as continuing to attack new ones. I'm getting tired of it being unpopular too. T_T I want to talk to someone IN PERSON about it, but so far this forum's pretty much it.

*ROFL* I love you, Poofie. XD I think I'll actually point it out when the next main character enters, cuz I've discovered it can be hard to tell.^^ *cough*Irshen*cough* I agree, DDD, character interaction takes a lot of setup, which in a medium like webcomics can be brutally slow, but in the end, it's so incredibly worth it. *resists urge to use Avatar as an example*

XD I am always glad to amuse. I would probably be a comedian if I were more consistent at it.
And yeah, I thought Irshen was going to be a main character too, but I think the fact that the story languished for so long with him there made us all get more attached to him than we probably should have. *bricked for insolence*
Ah, character interaction. I don't think I'd love my own characters half so much if they didn't interact with each other in such amusing ways.
Oh, and speaking of characters, Snipes, I've been thinking about what you said regarding near death experiences (NDEs), and I think you may have saved my male lead. But don't tell anyone that; I want people to THINK he's dead for a while. And as for another supporting main character, he still has to die, because otherwise I have no plot. But still, thank you for saving my male lead! *hugs*

OMG, that's awesome!! XD Yay, I saved a life! Heehee.^^ You still have one major death, and that's a good thing. ;D Kaertos on this forum is the guy who convinced me to save one of my main guys. It's a darn good thing too, cuz a week ago I told my sister every tragic thing that happens in the comic, and it became clear that his death was seriously not needed. 0_o Yeah, that's what I've heard regarding the Irshen matter, that If I had been updating as much as I'm supposed to, the part with him in it wouldn't have lasted for four years and he may have not seemed like a main character.>_< Now it looks like I killed a main guy out of hand to shock you guys when really he was a third-teir character who was always meant to die! *lol* Heehee, yeah, character interaction is the backbone of every great story. It's a huge part of how the characters define themselves as well as each other. Like, Toph in Avatar wouldn't seem nearly so scathingly sarcastic if Sokka wasn't always spazzing to the things she says.XD (oh crap, I wasn't going to use it as an example...) OK, LOTR! Boramere (sp?) wouldn't have made half the impression he did if he hadn't had Aragorn there to play off of. Yeah.^^

Yes, thank you for saving him; I really didn't want to kill him! I'm sure the other characters will be grateful, too, especially his girlfriend. XD They're so cute together; I love them.
I think I must be addicted to character interaction and only just now realizing it, because I always seem to create main characters in pairs. O.o Yuso and Emryana in this year's NaNo novel, Flikara and Garrem in my random story Peregrination, the unnamed couple set up for next year's NaNo...Always pairs. Always! @_@
Though it's true about characters defining each other. Flikara wouldn't seem so ill tempered if Garrem wasn't so mellow and indecisive. XD

alas, poor Irshen... I knew him well... ish Yay not killing of characters that don't need to die! And Poofies, have you LOOKED at the cast page? We know fewer than half the people on it! Heh, and if I'd thought about it enough, I'd have realized that Irshen's not on it because he was going to go and get himself killed, but then again, well... whoduh thunk?

Hehe.^^ Yeah, there are a lot of people still to come... I wish I could update like the wind to get to them. Sometimes I wish this was a novel. They all would be in the story by now if I had just been writing it. But I'm not that great a writer, so... yeah. Poor Irshen. Again, if I was still updating as much as I'm supposed to, his death would be far in the past now and it wouldn't look so random. *sigh* At least I didn't spend two seasons developing him just to have him relapse and have to develop all over again... *one track mind*

Well, even if it were a novel, it could very well end up in the state mine's in right now. >.< 58,000+ words and I don't think it's quite at 50% yet. And there are still three main characters to introduce, INCLUDING the male lead! This makes me glad I'm not posting it in a serialized format like the webcomic, though. Then, it would not only be harder to tell who was main and who was not, but I'd have to edit segment by segment, which is oftentimes hell for continuity. At least, it is for me. ^^;
*Also one-track mind...Novel!*

I really love this comic, i have followed it for a while but i see now that you have stooped updating it. It is really sad, it is a great story. I Love this sort of dark and mystic story. If one question is answered 10 new are created I really hope you will continue it one day. (Looks very good also)

Oh, I haven't really stopped updating it. I've got the next page halfway done (though the same can be said about Magic High). I am taking a small break though, as I try to figure out what it is I'm doing with my life, specifically my money situation.>_< That isn't going so well. But I plan to pick up the comicking again this week, assuming I can drag myself out of this slump. Thank you! It's always nice to hear from fans.^^
