Incentives

Friday, September 5th, 2008

Starting next week, and every week after that, we’ll be offering vote incentives for you, our readers, to enjoy. The incentives do fall under the category of drawings, but they’re not just any drawings.

They’re side stories.

Remember how, in the story, Dane hears Katherine scream, and we fast forwarded to the next morning when the policemen are inspecting the scene? Did you ever wonder how Dane acquired that dagger he had in the end of Chapter 1? Well, guess what?

Panel per panel, we’ll be depicting what happened the night Katherine was murdered. Every week, we’ll be releasing a single black and white panel.

These panels will be of a better quality than that of the Drawn Strip. They’ll be drawn without sparing a single detail. The dialogue will not take the form of balloons, but will instead be written on the bottom of the panel, simulating subtitles. This way, the text will not interfere with the art.

Depending on the results, we’ll see whether to make this side story our first printed merchandise product. If this is the case, we’ll color the drawings. Each panel we’ll take up the space of an entire letter sized page. As of now, there are two tentative formats that draw our attention: Booklet, and scroll poster.

If you have any thoughts that you deem helpful, we’re always glad to read them.

Your heart must always tell you what to do.

Your mind must always tell you how to do it.

We’re Moving

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Though we’re not moving physically, we are changing our server and domain.

The new URL will be www.fable-ss.com. The change will take place the next week, between September 15 and 19.

Unfortunately, there will be no Draw Strip updates for this week. I apologize profoundly and hope that you understand this. Even if we did update it, you wouldn’t be able to read it. We don’t know how long the transfer will take, but I can assure you it won’t take more than two days. As soon as the server is up and running, however, you’ll get to read both of this week’s updates, I promise.

Thank you.

Back to Normal

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

It is a pleasure for me to announce that tomorrow, things go back to normal. The new server is up, the updating schedule will be resumed.

We will also be adding some new features. We’ll include some space for advertisement, and both the Web Developer; Omar, and the writer; Jean Paul (me), will be getting their own personal blogs. I’m not sure if we’ll include access to these blogs from Fable’s main page, but if we do, I’ll let you know. Otherwise, I’ll post the URLs later on. 

Thank you for your patience. And I’m really sorry you guys had to wait a whole week to find out what happens next in the story. I promise not to disappoint you.

Your heart must always tell you what to do.
Your mind must always tell you how to do it.

About the Incentives

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

A while back I said there would be incentives to encourage you people to vote for us at topwebcomics.com and buzzcomix.net.

The truth is we’re really busy working on the sites design. The one we’ve been using is ComicPress’ default design and we’re working on cahnging that.

The reason this affects us, is that Omar, our web developer and designer, will also be the artist for these incentives. Aidalia is way too busy with school, homeworks, and the Drawn Strip.

Don’t worry. I’ve heard that Omar is making excellent progress with the design. When he’s done with that, he’ll start working on the incentives ASAP.

Thank you. I can hardly wait for you to see the incentives. They’ll be depicting the darkest moment in Dane’s life. They’ll be beautifully detailed.

Your heart must always tell you what to do.
Your mind must always tell you how to do it.
