11-3: rooftop fights
Unscheduled mishaps
Hey guys, just wanted to make a quick post to note that I’m not dead and I haven’t quit the comic. Things have been ridiculously busy at my real job and haven’t left me with a lot of free time. The busy period has burned right through my buffer, which I wasn’t expecting. I’m working on new pages and will be caught up soon! Thanks for your patience.
Suddenly Monday
What’s this? A Monday update? It is! The Diary will update daily until it’s conclusion in about two weeks, when Part 2 and Chapter 11 will pick up the main storyline, and return to a Wednesday/Saturday update schedule.
New vote incentives will happen on Wednesdays as usual, starting this Wednesday. But don’t let that stop you from voting daily! You can vote once per day for as many comics as you like. Your vote helps spread the word about Messenger, and is very much appreciated! ♥
Messenger is also now listed on inkOutbreak, a new comics directory. You can create an account to see update notifications for your favorite comics. If you use inkOutbreak, please add Messenger to your favorites!
That’s all I’ve got for now! Check back daily for new parts of the “Diary” story! Follow Messenger via RSS, Twitter, or Facebook to receive updates!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day! Vote for Messenger at TopWebComics to view a special Valentine vote incentive!
This might be the last new vote incentive for a week or two. I’m not really working towards gaining votes right now, but I’m working on some new ones and will hopefully start releasing them in March alongside the start of Chapter Eleven! You are welcome to vote as much as you’d like in the meantime, though. :D
RSS stuff
ON TODAY’S EPISODE OF BUG DID A THING— Just a general news update thing, pretty much for people who follow the comic via RSS—
I’ve made an update to the RSS feed, which means that it might stop working for you. (Hopefully it won’t!) If it does, delete it from your reader and re-subscribe and it should be ok.
If you follow via the feedburner feed, use this URI: http://feeds.feedburner.com/messenger_comic
And if you subscribe via email, you may have to sign up again since I have no way to port existing email subscriptions to the new thingamabob:
There’s supposed to be an automated warning coming to feed readers in the next two weeks to remind you about the switch, but we’ll see if that actually happens or not. Meanwhile, I’m warning you. :B
Sorry for any confusion! D:
Wednesday
Welcome to the new Wednesday/Saturday schedule! From here on, Messenger will update on Wednesdays and Saturdays, pending disaster and/or artist burnout. It seems about as evenly spaced as you can get doing two pages a week, anyway. If the next update seems too far off for you, registering for the forums will unlock preview panels for upcoming pages!
A couple of other bits of interest:
- My friend Pomp of the sometimes-a-comic Lunavis is doing crazy dirt cheap commissions! If you’re looking for custom character art or almost anything else, Pomp is your artbro.
- I’ve updated the links list to include a relatively new comic made by two of my friends: WaMoH! I helped put the site together, so you should check it out.
That’s basically it for now. Check back on Saturday for more, and thanks for reading!
