New here...

[Eluvatar]

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.

Welp, that was a little disappointing...
In order to pass time... does anybody know other space opera webcomics? Can't believe there isn't any!

[Keybounce]

Schlock Mercenary? That's space drama. I'm not sure what Space Opera is -- I don't see singing here or there. (I don't see singing anywhere

[Krulle]

Schlock did have several "musical updates", if I remember correctly?

Or is my mind messing up with Sluggy Freelance?

[Razor One]

Well, if we're going for definitions:

An extended dramatic composition, in which all parts are sung to instrumental accompaniment, that usually includes arias, choruses, and recitatives, and that sometimes includes ballet.

Since most Space Opera does include the extended dramatic composition portion, all you really need is the appropriate musical accompaniment that covers the range of emotions that you want to evoke. Legend of the Galactic Heroes does this fairly well I feel.

It'd be a fair effort to find the appropriate musical accompaniment for every page of the comic, but I reckon it could be done.

Space Opera has been a thing for a long time. Star Wars, Babylon 5, and Battlestar Galactica are all examples. Schlock could count, too. It's not just the music that makes it an opera, it's the dramatic and epic elements to the story.

[orion1836]

I hardly dare to ask, but is there a new target date for the next page?

[Krulle]

The date is the same as all previous ones: "When it's ready".

Sorry.

Sorry.

Are you Arioch?

[Krulle]

Nope.
But this is not the only slow updater I'm following.
But it is indeed the longest running one I'm following now...

[orion1836]

[Absalom]

That is the correct release schedule, yes :p

Arch's main problem is he has a life outside of this comic and that life tends to pay for electricity, running water, and food. So quite litteraly you can have a baby between pages here.

Hello I just joined, been a long time lurker for this webcomic for years, and I only just recently decided to join in since I had bothered. And to top it all off I'm a fanfiction writer for science fiction stories for years, none of them are of particular note, but I figured that the themes of this series was interesting enough to invest into. In any case I hope to see more comics, and plan to write something of interest for this series since I am intrigued by it.
