Okay, so here's the thing.

I can't continue Fainting Spells anymore. It's not that I don't have the time, energy or means to continue it. The problem is the story, and what it was based on.

When I came up with the script for Fainting Spells, it was 2005. I had just gotten married, after all the hoops that US immigration had made me jump through. It also meant moving to another country and starting a new life, leaving my family and to a certain extent, my past behind. It felt like a new start in a new world, and it was supposed to be this great thing that made the whole ordeal before seem like a purposeful journey.

My marriage sucked. It was two years of loneliness, rejection and anguish. It ended one Christmas evening in one giant explosion. My husband would have rather spent that evening with his mistress, and when I interfered, I was told to start packing.

If this part of my life wasn't such a huge chunk of Fainting Spells, I might have been able to continue it. I thought about killing off Aaron's character and completely turning the plot around, but it doesn't make sense anymore. And every time I pick up the script again, I'm forced to revisit all of this.

I just want to move on.

I plan on keeping this site up, and turning it into a little collection of art projects, some of which I will encourage you to participate in. I will also continue to do commission work. But I don't expect to be doing any more webcomics. Never say never, I suppose -- but at the very least, don't count on it in the near future.

I should be getting help soon to completely redesign the site, and THE FIRST THING I DO WILL BE TO SET UP AN RSS FEED so that you don't need to be disappointed when you come here looking for updates.

I really appreciate you guys still hanging around after all this time. As unbelievable as it seems, no one has ever bitched at me for the lack of updates. I really have the best readers in the world.
