Due to family medical issues, Requiem is on indefinite hiatus.

An elderly family member of ours took a bad fall on Labor Day night, and we’ve been dealing with the aftermath ever since. Hopefully, things will get sorted out, but as of right now, doing a daily comic is not something my schedule can allow.

Sorry to have this happen, but as everyone knows, real life comes first….and at least we don’t have too many running storylines on the backburner.

    Butterfly wings? Chaos Theory? If there is a cause it will have an effect; even just observing a cause can have an effect. As in particle / Wave theory?

    The second panel in the large square sounds awkward, I think the word ‘get’ is left over from a previous form of the verbiage. Taking it out make the lines flow better – “From what I’ve been able to figure out …”

        Same panel, other speech bubble should read: It sounds…
        I`ll start rereading the comic soon, do I tell you if I stumble upon a typo, or would you prefer me to keep quiet?

          Unless it is something that has been typo’d in the last couple years, I don’t want to hear a word about it.The source files for those I have easy access to…and the older ones are buried on cds or are non existent due to a massive computer crash a long time ago.

          But really though? I’d rather you just read the story and enjoy it. The story is what is the most important thing. That’s what I’m most concerned with people enjoying.

            *grins widely* I do enjoy the story – I really do!
            Otherwise I wouldn`t bother reading (let alone commenting).
            This story is great, I love the way it`s being told with lots of references to science, pop culture, history, changes of perspective, rich interesting characters, motives I can understand, conclusive action, rich artwork, a great atmosphere, a lot of other things I can`t name (I simply lack the words) and – the best of all – an astounding amount of overall thought, dedication and reliability in updates from you!
            The story is really fun to read and you got me hooked six years ago, when I was pregnant with my eldest and had to stay in bed by doctors orders.
            I felt sick all the time but couldn’t help going on reading in your database. Since then onlinetime has become scarce, but I still follow your story! Number three is sleeping in my lap right now and I’m typing with only one hand…
            My problem is: I`m not a native speaker.
            And I simply often have a hard time understanding the meaning of a sentence. Is it slang? Is this unusual grammar to emphasize something? A play of words? Something I should know and don’t because I wasn’t socialized in the US?
            And therefore I notice typos more easily.
            I don’t tell you about them because I want to annoy you, but because I imagine I’m not the only reader you’ve got with this problem.
            And I can so understand why you don’t want to hear about those typos! I didn’t want to piss you off – I just thought I’d ask!
            You’ve written a tremendous amount of text and of course there are typos (like in this text, I’m sure).
            Ok – I’ll stop the ranting now, but be sure:
            I DO enjoy the story – immensely!

            They don’t piss me off hearing about them….although when I run into people emailing me about typos that took place in the early days of the comic, it does make me queasy.

            Especially when I think about the computer crashes that took the source files for the comic at the time. Oh god, the night that my main computer, and my backup drive died on the same night. It literally took me 5 years to recover the files and find the stuff that I lost again. And I was 150 miles from home and the one computer that still had my stuff on it. If it wasn’t for that computer, Requiem would have been done in the extremely early days. (This was in December of 2005)

            Man, that sucks!
            Thank god you had that computer!
            And you were stubborn enough to keep going! πŸ™‚
            I`m glad you did! πŸ™‚
            Aren’t you proud you made it?
            You should be!
            Ok, I understand you don’t want to be reminded of that.
            Thank you for your dedication and all the effort you put into this.
            Five years? You are crazy! In a great way! πŸ™‚

            The five years was do to a number of corrupted files that were tied into the content of the models and stuff I use for the comic. It took me about five years to get things sorted out, and rebuild files that were destroyed during the great crash.

            Although, I must say that a couple of days ago, I was testing out something for DGN, and ran into a missing graphics texture file from something that dated back to that time.

            Unfortunately, the product is no longer sold, and the site I bought it through is gone with the wind. Hoepfully, that will be the last of them. πŸ™‚
