D3: Act 2 - Page 12
JediAnn Solo on July 14, 2013
There were two pages uploaded on the same night, so make sure to check the previous page so you don't miss it!

So here's the deal.
-
I decided I'm going to leave Duck Webcomics. But not right away.
-
I'm going to end this Day/chapter properly first. After the three acts for Day 3 are posted, I will move on. But that won't be for another year or so (hopefully less).
-
The reasons why I'm leaving were already addressed a couple of weeks ago, but I will add this. Back when I started posting here, Drunk Duck seemed to be a bit more of an inviting community. It didn't feel weird to post in the forums because things weren't a mess of popularity contests (and if there were any in the old days, they were pretty low-key) or hard-to-navigate discussions. Advertising your own comic didn't feel like you were throwing your topic into the abyss.
-
But now? I don't know. I gave the next layout and changes a chance– I tried really hard. But everything else still feels broken and it hasn't really recovered from that. It now feels really awkward to try and talk about my comic or ask people to vote for me on the Drunk Duck Awards because I feel like a nobody. And I know I'm not a nobody, but… I run a fancomic. I'm bound to be treated like one because of that. It's not that I NEED to have people see me at the Drunk Duck Awards or anything. I just saw it as a fun community event that garnered me free advertising as a bonus, but like I said. With so very little people watching me now, I feel like I'd be pushing readers to vote vote vote and get me there. And that's no fun.
-
Don't get me wrong– I love AGENCY. I will continue it until it is done or until something that's more important demands my attention away from comics. That's why I will continue the comic on deviantArt. It's where I first started it, it's where I will continue it and finish it. I get good, bad and self-improving feedback from there and that's how I like it.
-
So anyway. Yeah. Even if you disagree, I hope you understand. In fact, I'm almost surprised you're reading this whole thing. Shows how much you care. Thank you. Very much. See you here once every week until the end of Day 3? And then maybe outside this site? :) I hope.

Oh, yeah, I'm still reading. I really only keep up with a limited amount of webcomics. SuperFogeys.com and yours. That's it. If there's another, my mind is foggy and I've forgotten. Oh... Well, there was Good Guy, but I think it died or went on haitus. I know agree with you and others about it being kind of, um... Insensitive? Rude? I dunno what word I'm looking for. I liked it better in the beginning before it focused too much on villains and crude humor. Anyway, that's off topic. Hate to see you go, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I can't get on devi art right now, but I'll mention that later. Was gonna post on the latest page. I'm getting caught up right now. Hey, I'm using Comic Fury for SuperMilo right now. I have updates already ready stretching into 2014. Well, black and white updates, really. So, I've been on the ball a lot lately. Check out MiloComics.com if you want to get there pretty fast. Updates every Saturday. Sorry to hear about the community here. I never bothered with the forums, so I don't know what you're talking about, sadly (or fortunately, really). I just want to share comics. And these days I find it difficult enough just to draw, color, and upload my own comics, let alone read or keep up with tons of other comics. I just don't have time for lots of typing and talking with other people all the time online, sadly, unless they're a good friend or something - and then we have cell phones if possible which really helps me out by not forcing me to find an internet connection, lol. Check out ComicFury.com if you'd like. Glad you'll stick with Deviant Art though. :-)

Sorry to see you go, Solo. But I understand what you mean. I moved over to ComicFury, and am planning on taking my main book at this site over there too. This particular site's become kinda clunky and slow (maybe it is just my computer). Best of luck with wherever you take AGENCY. I've been busy so I haven't had much time to read thru the archives, but let me tell you that this is one of the finest fancomics I've EVER read. Take care, and again, best of luck :')

Drat, too long. Sorry. OK, I was going to suggest you check out Mark's page and see if Purrsia.com interests you - comics and forums & all that. I dunno what you would have to do about all the previous pages posted here. BTW I meant to write "accounts" not "acco8unts." Poor Dr Wise.

I think I know what you mean. I have a Live Journal account that was fairly active for many years, said activity consisting of me posting reviews of misc. books and music that happened to enter my life by various means, and brief acco8unts of odd events that occurred around here. No one ever seemed to be reading the things, but what did I care? I sometimes posted comments on other LJ's It was all very amusing. Then suddenly poor health, worse economics and my father's death all came together to form a perfect storm that stopped me in my tracks. There was no real reason to post this stuff and I abruptly became aware of this, resulting in an absence of over a year. If I never returned nobody would notice. Such is life in Intarwebz City. Do I care? Yes, _Agency_ is on my permanent watch list, along with a number of other webcomics. One of them, which has been running forever and seems to get more interesting over time, is Mark Stanley's _Freefall_ (http://freefall.purrsia.com/)... (cont
