Does anybody going to Otakon this year have space in their hotel room for Rachel and me?

Anime Expo was amazing this year! Not only was my table partner, Dina, one of the most awesome girls ever, I was also able to meet so many of my readers, as well as gain new readers! In addition, I'm actually making enough money so that I will be able to travel to Otakon this year!

Dina already said that she'll share her table with me again, however because of the short notice, there are no hotel rooms available! D: I really want to be able to meet my east coast readers though, and I still have many books available to sell! So as I had mentioned earlier, anybody who would be willing to share their hotel room with my friend Rachel and me will have my eternal gratitude (and maybe some sexual favors free drawings/books/other Directions of Destiny paraphernalia? :D()). Of course we'll pay for our share of the hotel room cost as well--as long as you've got a couch or a floor for us to crash for the night near the convention center (and as long as you're not a psychopath XD), we're happy! @_@

Anyway. WELCOME TO MY NEW READERS WHO HAPPEN TO BE BROWSING THE SITE. :D And to my existing readers who pre-ordered, I-I still need to get my next shipment books (I had the printer rush out the first 200 copies to make it to Anime Expo, and the remaining copies sent via ground to save on expenses), so I won't be able send those out until they get here. >_o Should be soon though; they were sent out last Friday so they'll get here by this weekend?

And no new vote incentives this week--my apologies D:()

...Well. Time to relax for a bit! <3

Great update! :D And good that you made enough money to go to Otakon. GO HANS!! And beware of psychopaths. XDDD

By the way, page 27 brings up a 404 error. D:

Chrystelle!
OMG!!! That scene was so amazing, IS so amazing!

As for the room, I've stated on your LJ that my friends would probably be willing to let you in, but I don't know about the whole couch thing. They'd probably make you sleep with them or shove you in a chair/table/floor. My rooms a bit crowded already (8 in a 4 cap room), so that's out of the question. I'm not a psychopath; I swear. >D. I just get crosses in my eyes.

Just come, so my friend and I can freak out at the same table. She's a Dina fan.

I really planning on going to Otakon this year but some things just got in the way... -.-;; However I would have loved to meet you and see your art in person; I've always been a really huge fan. :D

I love where the comic is going so far, excluding the fact that my heart is aching for more hints on Zephan/Azalea. You can see how I stress over the Zephan/Ryan thing, as they're fighting together and what-not. BUT I have my hopes, and I'm also curious as to where the hell Azalea is. And when she'll intervene. And kick ass. And stuff.

8D

GREAT WORK!

Sweeeeet~!

The action was incredible! Poor Chrystelle though. I was waiting for Auden to say something like that because I remember him not remembering her in the first version.

Yay teamwork! (you should have a little "moral of the story" saying "When you work together, you too can defeat scary monsters sent by an indestructible golem!" XD)
Poor Chrystelle ... great update, though!
And the books will be worth the wait, so don't worry about it!

*GLOMP* Yessss I finally get to meet you!!!!!!!! I remember asking you last year if you were going and I was sad that you weren't but I'm so freakin' glad you are this year! Definately visiting to buy stuff from you! ^^ By the way will you post times you're approximately will be at your boothe?

Posted by: Sepia Mortis | Jul 6, 2006 10:06 AM

It was great meeting you at AX! I'm really glad that your book has been selling well and that you'll be able to make it to Otakon (crosses fingers that you find a hotel room). Thanks for drawing a sketch for me, I hope it wasn't too bothersome.

Taking a second look at this update, I must say that your inking skills are spectacular. I can't wait for more ;}

The art is as good as always, but you are obviously one of those who are not accustomed to drawing action. I could WRITE movement better than you draw it. :D Though I DO write action very well... :P

What the hell did they do to Auden to make him forget his own girlfriend? -.-' And why?

Posted by: Krozam | Jul 6, 2006 10:15 AM

The art was so impressive this update. ;_;

I mean, it always is, but today especially!

So... pretty...

The wind! Aaaah! The wind is so nifty!

Mmm. When the book is in my hands, I shall cackle.

Posted by: Lukas | Jul 6, 2006 1:46 PM

Senna that's a great moral verse phrase or whatever! There should be a whole cute story to go with it like the rabbit and the hare. Only with more butt kicking.

I have to agree with Krozam. I was missing a bit of action among all the fabulous pages but at least I would've complained in a nicer way. That was really really mean but I forgive you because I can be mean like that too.

Posted by: Hanh | Jul 6, 2006 2:00 PM

Teh heh, I would've liked to put more action in, but I have a strict policy of 32 pages per chapter, and there's too much other stuff I needed to squeeze in to have 5 chapters dedicated to a single battle like most shounen manga does. XD()

Posted by: Hans Tseng | Jul 6, 2006 2:16 PM

Uh, yes, you may be right on that. It was a bit mean. Sorry. I wasn't really my intention, those words just felt right at the moment. As I said, the art itself was as good as always, I was just disappointed on the lack of movement in the battle. :)

You should've arranged more pages for the battle, you must've known from the beginning that battles tend to take space. Besides, that's no excuse for the lack of movement. Still, I understand your point, and I understand that there's not much space for action in a plot-concentrated story like this. That is what you do well, so don't listen to my complaining, just do as you will... -.-'

Posted by: biscuit | Jul 6, 2006 10:23 PM

I saw you in the artist alley! And I was so awed that I stood at your table for like... twenty minutes before I asked you if I could buy a couple of books. Thank you for signing them! I just regret not doing the print + book + bookmark deal. I couldn't pick a print. Stupid me. x_x

Awww. Chrystelle's heart must have just broken. ;_; Poor thing.

I can't wait for my copy of the book! I'll be obsessivly checking my mail all this week.

If I was going to/lived near Otakon I would so let you crash with us.

Posted by: Fenris | Jul 8, 2006 9:12 PM

Uh...yeah I live in Florida and I'm actually only here half the time. The other half is spent running away from hurricanes.

Posted by: Hanh | Jul 9, 2006 4:04 PM

Sorry. I would share my house but it is already full of people and well heh... I don't think the people here would like some stranger living here. Good luck on finding a hotel though!

Posted by: Dagger Shimatori | Jul 11, 2006 2:22 PM

Guh 0_o poor Chrystelle! I practicaly heard the crunch as Auden inadvertently smushed her heart! ;_;
Yay for the ice axe of DOOM!!

I had a very slim chance of going to Otakon this year, but it died. Have fun! Hopefully you will find a room XD

Posted by: Alex | Jul 12, 2006 8:48 AM

You could always bunk with some homeless guy in his cardboard box. They're actually pretty warm when it's cold out but seeing as it's summer that wouldn't really help.

Can I just say I love Mei's Kitty? XD Itty Bitty Kitty! XD So awesome. I want one of those!
