Ahhh uhhhh I only have page 10 of Section 1.4 pencilled, so that's all that's up this week. 9_9()() I spent most of Monday and Tuesday trying to finish the old pages, but they're still not done :D() But at least it's not Sunday night/Monday morning, so I'll have some more time to work on the next update than I did last week, although don't get your hopes up TOO much since I also have three more midterms within the next week. 9_9
Ohhh also, if you don't have a feed reader to use to subscribe to the RSS feed, but you DO have a Livejournal, an alternative would be to add the ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/syndicated.gif)
alatusinstitute syndicate to your friends list, or you can just add my artbloggish thing, ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
slimu.
And as for this week's vote incentives, Topwebcomics has a sketch of Azalea's outfit for this chapter, and Buzzcomix has a sketch of Zephan's room layout--this is the general layout for all the single dorms at the Alatus Institute. :3
Okay I should start studying. 9_9

As of the time of this writing, it is just barely before midnight on Sunday, so technically it still is the weekend! >__>() Anyhow, I got better from whatever disease I had on Saturday and managed to script the rest of Section 1.4, as well as get a decent portion of the chapter thumbnailed. So~ pages 8 and 9 of Section 1.4 are now up, albeit also incomplete like the last two pages, except this time they're not even inked! :D()() Uhh, consider it an opportunity to um. check behind the scenes? XD() And now I have a better idea of how to handle this chapter (I still think a few more revisions could be done to the script...) I should be able to have more regular updates from now on? Although I can't guarantee that this Thursday's pages won't be another batch of incompletes, since usually I have my pencils done and the pages inked by Monday if I want to leave ample amounts of time to polish up the pages in time for Thursday. And seeing as I only have these two pages pencilled... :P
Aannnd no vote incentives this week because I'm lazy. _-_ And you shouldn't vote for a bum like me anyway, at least not until I get my act together. :X Also, between the time I posted the late notice on Thursday and around 10PM PST the same day, I changed the URL and format of the syndicate feed from http://directionsofdestiny.com/atom.xml to http://directionsofdestiny.com/rss.xml, so if you already put atom.xml into your feed readers, you should update that!
...Would anybody be interested in a Directions of Destiny mailing list to notify when updates are put up? :o (I've been pretty good about putting SOMETHING up every Thursday lately though, right??)

...I'm very sorry about this, but it looks like there won't be any new pages just yet for this week, seeing as I haven't finished the script for the rest of this chapter, let alone thumbnailing the following pages. That and I caught something from my mom over the weekend, which started as a minor cough and evolved into a compulsive sneezing seizure every few minutes.
Mnegh.
In other news, however, I implemented a new script on the site for updating. It's not a huge difference from your point of view, but it makes me feel better? :D() Basically comments and updates run on the same script now and show up on the same page, meaning nothing pops up now on the site, so it should make things more smooth. That and I'm apparently addicted to playing with new website scripts--despite it being such tedious activity, I could go on for hours just coding HTML? (Too bad those hours weren't spent finishing the Section 1.4 script. ¬_¬()) Anyway, if there are any problems with the site, please leave a comment letting me know. :3
Along with the new script comes a new RSS feed! I personally haven't caught on to this whole craze just yet, but basically if you've got something called a "feed reader", either installed on your computer or via a website, you can subscribe to these RSS feeds for the sites that use them and get notified of updates through your feed reader rather than connecting directly to the site to find out of it has updated. Pretty convenient? Apparently a lot of people use them and since it's an option that was included in the script, I figured, may as well! ;O

Well. I don't really have much to say for myself that's not already covered in the minicomic. ._. BUT IF YOU MUST KNOW, I was playing Fire Emblem, in preparation for the GameCube edition coming out in two weeks. :D() Although I probably won't play it then, since I should be working my butt off catching up on the comic. Originally I was going to just put up pencils of the next few pages, but what with being such a SLOB, that didn't work out either. 9_9()
Umm at least there are some new vote incentive pictures. :D() Both done a long time ago which I haven't gotten around to finishing. I have...a lot of work in progresses. :o()
