FAQ
Q: So what’s this comic? I’m already very confused!
A: Let’s try to clear up that confusion, for starters, by getting you in the right mindset:
The story jumps right into the thick of things, before it falls down a steep hillside, like some giant ball of katamari yarn – but fear not – I’m leaving you some strings to tug at. Like you, our protagonist isn’t quite clear on what’s going on at first either.
It’s not the sort of story that is easily summarized without spoiling things, and I want the reader to enjoy that discovery themselves. If a page brings up a lot of questions, it may be worth revisiting later.
Q: No, really, what is this comic ABOUT? I demand answers! Preferably in a short summary form.
A: Alright, alright, I can give you this:
The story is set in a decaying world sundered by a long war between the dominant powers that be. These two are the Siol and the Fulcrum, two opposing forces that once ruled a good chunk of reality -and beyond-, by technological and near-magical means as well. Things didn’t quite pan out between them.
It’s a world where sorcery and high technology have long since blurred together, where knowledge has been lost and reinvented several times over. Where humanity has made first contact both once, twice, and six times. At the point of the story, where humanity begins and where it ends, isn’t all that clear. A world where very high powered war has ebbed and flowed for thousands of years. Frankly, the state of things are a bit of a mess.
The story follow our protagonist, going by the name Corinth Densha, by title Vizier of the Moab Empire, and her ambition to overthrow the Fulcrum. We’ll be exploring what her deal is.
Oh, and things have seemingly been going quite well for her by the time the comic begins! Surely a good omen.
Q: The Siol and the Fulcrum, the Moab Empire? I’m getting all confused again!
A: The relevant parts can be figured out from the comic, and there’s some handy extra information provided below each comic for those of you with a taste for worldbuilding.
But if you’re really itching to know more, just toss me a question and I’ll do my best to answer in a non-spoilery way.
Q: Wait… is this some sort of fantasy thing? I’ve been tricked!
A: There’s giant robots, explosions and BLOOD for COOL KIDS like you too!
No really, there’s uh, a lot of blood. And violence. The comic is quite decadent.
Q: Update schedule? I’m also very decadent and thirst for more pages!
A: I aim to update once or twice a week and try to keep you all updated on my twitter in case a page is taking a particular long time to make.
Big splash pages or otherwise difficult pages take longer to make.
Rarely the stars align and I get two pages out in a week.
Things get a little slower around the holidays or when I’m extra busy at my work-work.
Q: Do you have any social media? I got more questions!
A: Here’s my twitter is @leflair.zone, my tumblr is killwitchkill.tumblr.com (comic page archive and the occasional concept art).
If you want to ask other type of questions you can e-mail me at leflair.zone@gmail.com (which I check sporadically), or just write a comment to any particular page I post. This wordpress thing should update me, and constructive input from readers is very valuable to make this thing as good as it can be! (I may be awful at writing FAQs).
