      Yes, I suspect several of us are pacing ourselves to match the board and prioritising our PV writing accordingly. We'll just have to see how things go.

    I try to avoid stacking chapters up so that people visit, and they see Part 3 posted but they missed Part 1 and 2 so it's not worth their time to catch up and comment.


I've long maintained that eight is the minimum number of active posters required to make the board viable. We dipped below that a year or more since and we're seeing the consequences.

      As for fan-fiction it's as good a form of excercising the writing muscles as any and allows for a different cognitive challenge.

    It's also an excersize in calm for me and at least one or two others who read DC's solicitations for fall.


I have serious doubts about any marketing strategy that releases 52 new comics products over the course of a year and expects many of them to prosper. Indeed, even those with existing followings might suffer from "jumping off". I'm with most commentators in predicting a short-term sales spike followed by massive event fatigue.

And going to competetive e-comic release at the exact moment you want the retailers to be on your side is lunacy.
