A Brief Intermission

Hello all. This is Jason Janicki, writer of Wayfarers Moon. My discussion of the Computer Game business will continue tomorrow, but first a brief intermission:

Leigh and I have noted that certain parts of our website are woefully underused and in the interest of public service, I thought I would give those new to the site a quick tour of all the wonderful things one can find here.

If you look at the bar across the top, third button from the left, you will notice it says Store. There we have a variety of wonderful products featuring the Hooded Woman and the Wayfarers Moon logo. Soon, we will even have products featuring the lovely Lily and the exotic shapeshifter Haith. Please buy something if you are so inclined. We will even put up products featuring the Master, if people ask.

Next, if you look to the extreme right of the bar, you will see the Forum button. The Forum is filled with wonderful discussions of all things Wayfarers Moon. Leigh and I frequent it each and every day and do our best to answer your questions. Many people of wit and intelligence frequent our forums. You should take your place among them.

To the left and immediately above this blog, you will see buttons suggesting that you donate. A number of people have already donated and to them we give a hearty thank you, not to mention a very cool desktop of the Hooded Woman. So if you enjoy the comic and have a few dollars to spare, please feel free.

In all seriousness, Wayfarers Moon is a labor of love for Leigh and myself. Leigh works part-time and spends most of his free time producing pages for the comic. He draws, inks, and colors by himself and it takes about two-and-a-half days to produce a page. We get frequent requests to update more often, but frankly, Leigh is already running at full steam. The only way it would go any faster is if I started drawing and to be honest, my drawings frighten small children and horses. If we can get and maintain a steady income from Wayfarers Moon, Leigh can devote more time to the comic. This means more pages, more art, and more women hitting people in the face with axes.

So please, when you go to the store or hover over that donation button, think of Leigh sitting alone, his drawing table lit only by a single candle, a thin shawl around his shoulders. His hand is cramped, yet he still manages to clutch a pencil and draw pictures of buxom young women, even as an ear falls off due to the leprosy.

Ummm, actually, Leigh does not have leprosy. I just made that up. Everything else is true. Seriously. More or less.

Cheers,
-Jason

I am patiently awaiting the lovely Haith to make an appearance amongst the items in your nifty store.

Quick, Leigh! To the storefront!

That's exactly the kind of feedback we're looking for. I am actually working on some Haith images for this sort of thing.

What other feedback do folks have? Other characters they'd like to see on swag? Other swag? Is the store hard to use or easy to use?

ooooh....haith swag...looks like i'm going to have to make another purchase when that goes up :)

The store is nice enough to use. No problems there. Though it might be best to move this conversation to the forum where people can actually discuss it. They won't know to look here.
