New here...

Post by neilcsd »

All,

Seems like a decently active community here so I just want to ask what up for someone that's pretty new to The Outsiders.

Why the lack of updates? The first 112 are just awesome - but how long it's been since an update? From where I am, quite a long while. I feel like I can't follow because it's literally not moving forward anymore. I want to, the story seems to have so much promise.

Thanks in advance. I'm super curious where things go but I don't know if it's going to go.

I recall at least one 2 year pause. He always puts out new pages afterwards.

Recently he's been doing art for a game, so he hasn't had a lot of free time. If you croll down a bit, you'll see that he recently posted to the perma-locked WIPS thread, so it looks like his schedule has opened up a bit.

The WIPS (Work in Progress) thread: http://www.well-of-souls.com/forums/vie ... hp?f=4&t=7


It'll take time.
Arioch has a full life, full job, a big project going on, so a side-project like Outsider will have to wait every now and then.
But it is free, after all.

You could subscribe to the RSS feed, or follow the twitter account, to be notified of updates....

My goal is to have a new page up next Monday. I don't know if I'll be able to accomplish that, but I'm announcing it here so you can jump up and down on my head if I don't get it done.

Nancy Sinatra - These boots are made for walking

Nah, I'll put them safely away. Don't want the author to get hurt, as that may postpone the next page even more.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Getting excited.

Oh, this is a good time to re-read the comic, to know what happened, and make stupid connections when the next page is up.

Not now. Monday has still several hours left... somewhere in some obscure timezone :)

....but it looks like only delaying the inevitable....

Sorry for the delay. I didn't get much done during the week, and I've been ill since Saturday, scuppering my plans to catch up over the weekend.
