(Historical Notes: See what I mean about the wheel-spinning? I mean, in Past Me’s PARTIAL defense, I think having these pages come out days apart from each other made it feel like they’d read differently than they do all bunched[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
(Historical Notes: Okay, we’re GRADUALLY building up some momentum again. Honestly, even setting aside the actual plot stuff, just having the characters actually MOVE and look at some kind of visual aid helps pick up the energy. Again, I wish[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

(Historical Notes: It really caught me off guard how much fun it is to write a character as simultaneously good-hearted and utterly unscrupulous as Eric. In a way, it kind of perfectly sums up the worldview of the Far Out[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
