Comments on: Slow Beginnings & Changes http://www.evernightcomic.com/archives/slow-beginnings-changes Darkest before the dawn Fri, 21 Dec 2012 21:10:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Stasia http://www.evernightcomic.com/archives/slow-beginnings-changes/comment-page-1#comment-171 Stasia Sun, 19 Jun 2011 18:27:31 +0000 http://www.evernightcomic.com/?p=357#comment-171 Haha, we’re very glad. :) We had been hearing some of the same things you addressed in your review and we’d been feeling the slow cadence ourselves. I’m with you on the perfectionism; I constantly trim pages or panels if I can. Dialogue? Pish. Characters change it on me because of what was said on another page or how Sarah’s art looks in the final product so I’m constantly kept on my toes. :)

It was a hilarious coincidence to see the review. I actually was the one who saw it when I went through Google Analytics (I think Sarah said that–so sleepy-eyed this afternoon). I clicked on the link, went “OMG”, read it, went “OMG” again, then called Sarah and talked about a million miles per hour in her ear for a solid five minutes. XD

We work hard to tell a great story and we want to tell a story we would want to read. Definitely loved the review and hopefully a year from now our archives will be much chubbier and we’ll have more of a tale for our readers (and ourselves) to enjoy.

Thanks again so, so much!

After a dozen or so incarnations, that’s the angle that worked without sounding inadequate on a dozen levels. (I suppose my perfectionism for starting the review is probably amusing when you look at the number of errors that sneak in afterward such as grammatical impreciseness and open-ended parenthesis.)

I’m very glad you enjoyed the review. I’ve had instances of cartoonists taking criticism poorly; one poor girl was in tears until I pointed out to her the things I said worked well in her comic and that I thought she should focus on. (And I’m not even that harsh of a critic, all things considered! ^^;; Ah well…)

I look forward to seeing what happens next in the comic; that’s one of the important things, and that you have pulled off in spades. Having interesting characters and delicious art is just icing on the cake. ;)

Shocked us a bit since we had just been talking about these things the day before Stasia wrote this.
Then we saw your review and were like… HO SNAP, we explained without reading this review first. XD
It was a very odd, but happy day.
Thank you for that review though, we didn’t see it until we were checking our analytics and saw that we were getting hits from it :)
Nobody told us that we had a review from you! XD

We did find the review fair and were quite flattered, so again, thank you very much :)

I half get the feeling this is in response to some earlier comments I made in a recent review… ;)
