DD Awards finalists
DAJB on July 23, 2010
Yes, thanks to the miracle of pre-uploading, while you're reading this I should already be on my way, hopefully to sun myself in the south of France until 31 July.
According to JustNoPoint, however, he's planning to announce the finalists in this year's DD Awards today, so - if Shades is in there among the finalists - thank you all for your votes! (And, if it's not … well, thank you anyway; I know you all tried!) I'll obviously not be able to reply to any comments for a while, but I will do as soon as I get back!
Oh, and while I'm away, you might want to look in on the BVC blog where we've got a scoop about Jim Lee's proposed sequel to Watchmen! (Well … kind of!)

Aaaaw - thanks, Lem! And, by amazing coincidence, we have a little bonus for you! It'll be right here, first thing tomorrow!

You know, I really miss the regular Monday update of Shades, it was so reliable. Even if the world ended and every other webcomic stopped - Shades [i]still[/i] would've updated :D

Jerrie: Hi. And welcome to Shades! Unfortunately our little story's all finished now so, as you go through the archives, make sure you savour each and every page! (On the plus side, at least you have a "proper" ending to look forward to!)
jerrie at 5:14PM, Aug. 16, 2010
hi, i just found your comic...love it...im currently reading archives to catch up..look forward to seeing more.
DAJB at 7:36AM, Aug. 14, 2010
Patrick: Wow - you read through the whole archive? That's quite an achievement, but it [i]is[/i] the way the story was designed to be read, so you've probably seen it at its best! Glad you enjoyed it. A lot of thought went into the character design, since we basically needed two costumes per character and I wanted to have as few as possible in "traditional" skin-tight lycra! And thanks - my fingers are obviously crossed for the awards, but I've seen enough of these now to know that it would be a mistake to start counting any chickens! Lance: Thanks!

Aw man, I just did a huge archive binge on this comic and I loved it! I gotta commend you on character design, this has to be the first superhero comic I've seen where characters that can fly dress like they can fly, (wearing actual eye protection and all.) Hope the awards goes well for ya too!

Hahaha congrats!

Sky: Thanks, Ms Angel. Seems we won't be duking it out in the same categories for once. Just as well since [i]The Dreamer[/i] is no longer here to trump us both! ;-)

Good to see Shades is so popular still!! Well done Dave and your team.

Okay, I come back from holiday and ... wow! Look at all those banners! I'm not taking anything for granted yet. I can think of several comics which have been rewarded with a whole clutch of finalist positions in the past and which have still come away with little or nothing. The important thing is that you guys have voted for us. [i]Shades[/i] has never been a huge comic. In fact, it rarely scrapes into the top 100 and spends most of its time between no. 150 and no. 200 in the rankings, and so to get [i]such[/i] strong support from the readers we do have is really quite overwhelming. Many, many thanks to everyone who voted for us. Whether we win any of the official awards or not, I feel like [i]Shades[/i] has already won the [b]Comic With the Best Fans Award[/b]! Thanks, guys!

Ah----sun. I must say I've had my fair share.... Have a great vacation. It sounds like a blast. When I was in France it was frigid!!! We'll miss ya!

Have a nice holiday!

What Nicotine said. [i]Shades[/i] is in a good spot to dominate these awards!
Peipei at 7:09PM, July 24, 2010
Gratz on the awards :3.

Enjoy your holiday - rarely was a holiday more well-deserved!!! ;o) I'm X-ing my fingers for "Shades" sweeping in all the trophies, but, IMHO, all those awards would be a bit trivial; "Shades" can stand up for itself, it needs no blinkin' awards, it's the finest piece of superhero fiction this or any side of The Fortress Of Solitude ;o)
usedbooks at 11:03AM, July 24, 2010
Shades is awesome, and everyone knows it! Congrats! I guess now Boo doesn't have to go on a killing spree.
Nicotine at 9:49AM, July 24, 2010
Well, I think you're in for a great surprise. :D
Abt_Nihil at 5:37AM, July 24, 2010
Today?? Oooh, I can't wait to find out :O Good luck!

have a great vacation... and good luck in the awards!!
