D3: Act 2 - Page 12

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.
