Well, we're hitting another dry spell with page updates. Luckily the last of my pages went up June 14th so it's not too bad.
Many of us had situations change. So working on NN has definitely fallen to the wayside.
I'm curious to know how interested the artists are on still working on this. We really don't have an ending planned, which would certainly help us figure out when this is "over".
Please be honest. I certainly will be.
Here are my current feelings of the work:
When we started, the comic had so much support and energy from the participants. It was easy to organize and work on the system and story. Pages were awesome and artists went above and beyond.
As time wore on and artists left, the energy was fading and I feel I was trying too hard myself to keep the energy at that same level. I don't think I should have. People and artists were still interested in the story, but it was becoming apparent that the work side of it was becoming demanding.
Childishly, I felt very disappointed that artists were leaving or had to delay making pages. I wanted to be demanding, but I knew that was not possible. After all this was for fun and if I made it required that would take the fun right out.
We've done great work and kept this going since November 2006! Great work! But right now, I'm starting to get tired myself. But at the same time, I like where this is going and want to see more!
And reconciling these two feelings is tricky. Because who really has the time to work on NN anymore?
I had a couple of thoughts. One of which is to let the comic go. But I'm interested in hearing what everyone else is thinking or feeling.
Again please write your thoughts. If you're feeling shy you can PM your response to me.
Cheers!
