Apologies for the late update everyone--this past week was finals week for me!
In any case, Section 1.6 is DONE! Now I need to get my ass in gear and finish the rest of the book and send the pages into the printer X_X.
Change of plans for this week's vote incentives: for my painting final, I did something realllllyyy lame, but one part of the project involves a mugshot of Azalea, and another one of Zephan. So the request for child versions of the other student council members will have to wait until next week. :D()
Motivate me to finish the book by pre-ordering your copy! >3<

Bwa! Section 1.6 is nearing its conclusion!! :O!
I e-mailed a bunch of people who sent in orders for prints that I'd have them sent out on the 15th, except I still have them lying around here 'cos I haven't gotten around to doing their bonus sketches. :< Sorry D:! I'll send them out by the end of this week!
(Er, except yours Esther, because you gave me like 50 bajillion sketches to do. XD SMOOOOOCH)
What I DID get finished are this week's vote incentives though! There was a request for Zephaniah x Azalea x Ryan, aand another one for Douglas! Somebody sent in a tasty request for child versions of the other student council members, but I had already started these two other sketches so I'll save them for next week. :3() (UNLESS SOMEBODY SENDS IN SOME BETTER REQUESTS!!! O_O)
OH HEY DID YOU KNOW HANS IS AN ENDANGERED SPECIES?? HELP SAVE A HANS! PRE-ORDER A BOOK!
Raaawrrr next week is the week of finals!!!111111jk;ajdsfuafdsuunggghghg

I went to sleep last night for four hours to get up at 3AM and work on some school projects, so after I got back from school today (at a later time than usual because of an appointment I had with the study abroad advisor), I was in this constant state of limbo between deciding whether I should go to sleep first and update when I wake up at, like, 2AM, or if I should just tough it out and update today. :D()
Well, suffice to say, I went with the latter option, except all the fidgeting inbetween caused the last touches for this update (i.e. the lettering, and the HTML formatting XD()) to take quite a bit more time than necessary. S-sorry!
Anyway, this week's vote incentives fall under the category of "HOMOEROTICA" and "Mad Hatter Zephan"! ...except the former incentive isn't all that homoerotic. :< Whatever! Keep on submitting your requests~ :D
AND GUYS JAPAN IS EXPENSIVE PRE-ORDER A BOOK PREASE >3<!!!

Apologies for not getting this up earlier in the day; I had several errands to run this week in order to get my forms for studying abroad in on time, which ended up taking an inordinately large amount of my time. ¬_¬
Anyway, I hope y'all enjoyed the bonus comic in the last update, courtesy of my friend Tina. ;D (Yeah, I wish I could draw as awesome as her >:o!) (Tina is also my personal editor, and the person whom Mei is very loosely based off. ;D) Oh, and by the way, it is her birthday!! (Well, the 5th is, at least.) (SHE'S FINALLY LEGAL. YESSS--I mean no!nothing!)
Also, for a totally shoujo experience, pretend that Mei is the heroine, and Section 1.6 is actually the first chapter of the comic, in medias res style! ;D
Mmm as for this week's update, they may look familiar to those who read the Predirection. :D() It was actually even closer to the original at first; the last page pretty much used the same layout. However, I thought that it might have echoed Azalea's dream sequence from the beginning of Section 1.4 a little too close for comfort, what with the similar close-up on eyes opening and then pulling back as he wakes up or whatever. 6_6 So! That's! Why! It's! Changed!
Oh hey guys, guess what. A neeeewww set of vote incentive pictures for the first time in a BAJILLION years! Gasp! This new development is due in thanks to my ripping off borrowing No Rest for the Wicked's forums' idea about taking vote incentive picture requests. The idea is that you, the reader, post something in the forum topic of whatever you would like me to draw for a vote incentive picture (as long as it relates to the comic!), and every week I choose two ideas that are submitted and put them up as vote incentive pictures! Now, don't worry about this interfering with the comic schedule or anything--I already sketch plenty enough as it is, but I would rather just put most of the sketches I do on my art blog without having to dangle it in front of you guys for votes, so instead I thought it'd be better for the vote incentive pictures to be stuff that YOU want to see. So yeah. Submit your requests! :D
Ahh I don't care to rant anymore blah blah blah come back next week PRE-ORDER THE BOOK KTHX!!!!!!!!!!!
