Watch out IE!

Ok, so! There has been some changes finally since I updated last--I've went from my traditional three-panel layout to a larger, more floating layout for the comics, and it feels good, so far. It does take me longer--quite a bit, even--to make than the old ones, but they feel better. And it's easier to fit text. And they're prettier. And all in all I like them a lot more. Hopefully this will not force me to go down to a two-a-week schedule this fall when it gets darker, and hopefully by the end of next spring (last semester before I'm out of compulsory school) I'll be so into habit of making comics that I'll manage to make them on schedule even then. But we'll see.

In other news I've begun redesigning the site--the old design just weren't nice enough. It was cozy, but, it was dark and crowded. ^_^;; So now I've changed the background, and more is to come, I promise. Until Lena come home from her trip though it will continue to look even more awful for you Internet Explorer users--but I advise you to get Firefox instead, a much better browser (don't tell Lena I said so, though... =P ).

Also! Although there is no one to make a special comic for my birthday, it is indeed my birthday today. I go 15! (now only three years younger than Lena) Yay!

Fridays are back!

Yeah, as you know, when summer began I sloped Friday's comics in favor of my social life, since Lena was coming and right after that I was going to Madeira. Now this is behind me and although I right now feel sorta out of it and lazy and very unproductive, I've decided to throw Fridays back in there. Me and Lena have finally started working on an actual plot and I won't have to go entirely on feel anymore, and I wanna come to the fun parts already! I know, from nothing really happening during the half year the comic's been up, that it will actually take us a while to get there... but the faster I make comics, the faster it'll be, right? So. Anyway. This means we're back on our three-a-week status, and I will hopefully soon snap out of it and get the new background and archive banner done so that the site will look better! Right now it's a bit messy...

What the~? No more comics?!

Well, um, no more comics on friday, anyway... it seems I am a very lazy person, so I never managed to build up a stock before summer. See, and so summer came and Lena came (the first time I get to meet the co-worker of this comic! Woo!) and obviously I'm sorta preoccupied... and directly after she's left I'm off to do stuff with my family... so maintaining the three-a-week status of this comic would be impossible and I would miss random days or sit up way late and do really bad comics and I would feel really bad about it... so I'm gonna take away Fridays' comics instead. Only over summer, mind you. After that I will be up and running my mad three-a-week schedule again.

Lena's comics, on the other hand, are permanently gone. She felt they didn't actually add anything, they broke the flow of the comic, and, most importantly... she was lazy and didn't want to do them anymore. ^_^;;

Vote for us~!

So! 'Twas a while since I updated, wasn't it? *shifty eyes* Usually I'm good at updating. And it's not that I've really been all that busy...anyway. I have some new things for you~

We now have, between the comic and these news, a row of buttons. They're leading to various webcomiclists, and, you should vote for us if you like us~! ^_^;; The three to the right are for voting, the three to the left are for making an account and then adding us to your favorites. Pwease? (although, it should be noted, at the moment the voting-ones are just ontop of the others, because Lena isn't finished coding them).

So, anyway, now that you've voted... *shifty eyes* You can see the little tagboard I've got us. Isn't it nice? ^_^;; Since I figured I sometimes post at those thingies, easily reached from the front page, but I don't think I ever posted at anybody's forum... and since the forum isn't generating any response... >.< And I want feedback! I know some people've added us to their favorites, and it truly thrills me, but, I'm greedy for more. ^_^;; I want live feedback. So please use the tag-board to just say hi, or what a nice comic you have, or your comic sucks, or comments on old/new comics and whatnot. And then I'll be happy happy. Yeah.

"Nothing to say," huh?

Bleah. *sticks out tongue*

Eh heh. *cough* yeah. ^_^; Was a while since we update. Lena's birthday has come and gone (happy birthday Lena! 18 and all grown up, huh? *snickers*), and I have, successfully, started to make new comics in the more convenient size. So not on schedule though. These random scouthikes I go on kinda interrupt that, so that I can't make any that weekend. That's kinda bad, because that means I'd have to make at least four all other weekends... ^_^;; Never mind though.

Anyway, so, when Lena said "handdrawn comics every day", I went kinda like: ".......huuuuuuh?!", because in my ears, that sounded like, you know, every day of the week, there'd be handdrawn comics. While she meant, every day there was comics, they'd be handdrawn. Just so you know, and don't get confused like me. Yeah.

Ooooh... pretty... ^_^

Yeppers! Site is almost looking decent now... background, banner, linkbar attached to the banner, and, for all you Internet Explorer users...

Also, for you who can't really figure it out, yes, friday's comic was a fake. I really did put as much time and emotion in it as I said I did, but, it is, in fact, just a scam. ^_^;; I'm not dead. I probably won't be, either - unless in some distant future when I actually die, the comic still exists, then either we will go on living in the comic, just somebody else is maintaining it, or other characters will have found their way into it and taken over it. We'll see. Probably it's not even an issue. ^_^;;

Hush hush

And we be updating again~! It was actually only 11 days since I updated, but still... *shifty eyes* Anyway, today's comic is the last one before we need to start update things again, even if I have a bunch that's already made, only not uploaded with their right names and such. I'm working on a few special comics, and the reason... will be told on Sunday or Monday or something. Lots of hush, huh? ^_^;;

Anyway, in the time that has passed, I've spent a while at my Grandma and Grandpa's place. Doing nothing much, really... sleeping, mostly. Listening to music. Some might think this kind of rest might be inspiring, but it really isn't. It just pulls you down and makes you slow. Not that I didn't enjoy having absolutely NOTHING on my mind for almost three days, but still...

Anyhow, looking at Lena's comment for today's comic - she explains a bit about FallingLeaf and the messageboard of hers from which we have come - I figure soon we're gonna have to start working on that Historypage. And I'll have to start working on our links. They're not pretty. And too many. And we really need somewhere to put random stuff like dropdowns and random buttons and badges... *wanders off planning*

And I still haven't fixed either background or banner? I am such a... (insert random bad word here).

Borders! Prettiness~~

As you undoubtedly have noticed, there are now random colorblots running down the sides of the screen, and me and Lena like to think about them as borders. There's one to represent each of us - Zelph, Izzy, FallingLeaf, and Eolill. <--spoiler. Except, of course, there's now two for Leaf and none for me, since, Lena's bad at thinking one up for me.
Oh, oh, and anyway - Lena was upset that I chose to do Wed/Fri/Sun rather than Mon/Wed/Fri, like all the others do. It's only moving Monday's comic back a day though, isn't it? Anyway, this means she'll be doing some kind of thingie on Mondays to amuse herself. ^_^;; She's going to teach you zelven, so, I guess maybe by the time my audience sends me mail in zelven, I might know the way to say hi... although there's several ways to do that, I have no idea how Lena's little brain could come up with such a complex idea. Beats me totally. (read=Lena's the smart one, I'm just the artistic one. She's doing the coding, remember?)

Anyhow.

Layout!?

Ooooh, Lena made the newsboxes work. ^_^;; They're really, really cool. I can see in the coding that she has also tried to fix our links, but, only the bad ones show up. I don't know this xhtml-thingie-coding, though, so I guess I'll have to leave that to her... the layout of the site is really bad, though. Everything is in bad places. Me no likey. The dropdown is in an annoying pace, the links are just random stretches of text, and the newsboxes, although cool, are pushed to left in an awkward way. I also have to check how this looks in 800x600 pixels... and anyway, the huge mass of blue, although a pretty blue, is kinda boring, so I'll have to start making that background (or possibly just finding it somewhere else) and our nifty-to-be banner... yeah... ^_^;; I'm also sick today, so, anything I do today can be considered bad, so don't anyone bother me about it yet.

On a sidenote, we're now finished with the prologue! Leaving me with about 20 comics - or 7 weeks - until I run out of comics. In these seven weeks I'll have to get used to doing three comics a week. >.< I don't see how other people do it... it takes eons. I'll just have to find a quicker way of doing decent comics, huh? ^_^;; Anyway.

Addendum

*random messing with the layout* The stupid divcodes doesn't know what's inside the boxes and what's outside of them... *adds tables* I luv tables. Mmmm.

Anna Speaks

Whee! I finally realized how to update this stupid thingie through ftp... only Lena knows how to do such things. I'm used to the more easy things that normal free hosts offer, where you just type your stuff into windows on the net.

Anyhow, this site looks awful so far, but, it'll look better in a while, I promise! Pwooomise! I'm working on banners, background, and whatnot. Ok? So, if it looks bad, come back in a while, ok? Ok? Yeah.
