You're intelligent and well-spoken. Yeah, I'd definitely give it a chance and probably be a loyal reader.

Hm. I dunno. I'll read a few and then decide. You're a bit long-winded for my attention-span, sometimes.

Probably not with any regularity, but I might get suckered in from time to time if there are pretty pictures.

Normally I wouldn't trouble you guys with this, but I couldn't help but notice that things have been a little pokey around here, lately. This time of year always just seems to be murder on guilds, for some reason. They've all gotten pretty slow.
So as I was saying, I posted this in my guild and the response was the kind of response that made me wonder why I created a guild in the first place.
Given the time of year, I'm not expecting it to be so much better here, but let's give it a shot, anyway. Can't hurt anything (except my feelings) right?

Please post if you vote. That will be taken under consideration when I'm deciding whether or not to do this.
For those of you that watch King of the Hill, do you remember Peggy's Musings Column in the Arlen Bystander? Where she often opened with some remark that was never witty, but almost always painful (if not downright heartbreaking, in it's pathos)? This will be nothing like that. I promise.
I got an assignment in my comics class to do a daily comic for a week. I thought to myself that that sounded kind of cool, but then thought to myself that I maybe I should start doing that, just for fun and keeping it up, even after the assignment ends. After all, it's only four panels.
Then I thought about how wordy I tend to be. People don't want to read blocks of texts in speech bubbles. So I was thinking that there might be an accompanying post of a couple of paragraphs (maybe more, depending on what I had to say, but probably no longer than this one).
Then it occurred to me that with my scanner still not working (or at least the connecting cable not working) I realized that there might not always be a comic to accompany it. I could at least promise the accompanying post, though at times it may not actually accompany anything.
As for what these would be about, it would differ from day to day, and there wouldn't be something everyday. However, from time to time, if I thought something insightful or was otherwise inspired, I'll most likely type something up.
The purpose would be to inspire conversation about any number of topics and keep them going for as long as they go. If it works out, I'll probably move it the the Writing sub-forum (depending on several things, including how much is writing, how much is discussion, and how much is art) and we'll continue it there. If it doesn't work out, then I'll archive it and forget about it.
Does that sound interesting to you? How many of you would read it?

Since most of you don't know me as well as the Disciples, here's a link. Feel free to subscribe, if you like what you see.

I don't really do anything on the internet with much regularity...
But I might check it out...

You already know I'd like to see those, but for the sake of it, I thought I'd post here as well.

I approve.

Should be interesting to read :3

Julie & I were actually thinking about creating a comic strip for the guild.. But having guest artists make something different each time.

That would be cool. With school and a full course load, I can't promise a ton of stuff, but I could at least do a four-panel thing a week, especially if it didn't even need to be inked.
Please make sure that you also vote on this same topic in The Disciples Guild, alright? Unless I get at least seven votes there, I probably won't even bother.

Well, looks like insufficient interest here, too. Not terribly surprising. Ah well.
Here's what the assignment that inspired the project was. I didn't bother with the write ups, but here's what the comic portion would have looked like.
The polls will remain open, in case any of you were waiting for a taste, to vote, but I'm not expecting much, at this point.

Our guild is a lot less active than yours x3
But I say you could make a thread for your comics if you wish.
You don't have to use this one.

Right now, all of the guilds I'm in are struggling... or were. They seem to be better, now, oddly enough. Activity is debatable, but this guild is significantly larger. I brought Tori in and got her posting, so hopefully that was a little helpful, and I may yet bring in some others.
And thanks, but I don't know if I'll regularly be making comics... Although... I do only need a couple more positive votes in my guild before I take it back under consideration, again.
