Kismet is back, with a batch-update mailing list
Those of you who've been around for a while have heard me talking about my SF webcomic, Kismet, which has been on hiatus for the last *mumble* while. It's updating again, as of this month - link to start of new pages on Tumblr which will make absolutely ZERO sense without the context of the rest of it - but since both the sites I'm updating it on (Patreon and Tumblr) kinda suck for reading through the archives in order, and some people prefer to read plotty webcomics in batches anyway, I now have a batch update mailing list!
https://subscribepage.com/kismetlist
(Please let me know if anything doesn't work. You should get a confirmation email that you need to click to confirm that you want to be on the list, and then a welcome email afterward. If that doesn't happen, let me know and I can put you on the list manually.)
I'll send out an email whenever I update the website archive with a batch of new pages, ideally about once a month. Emails will also include any new Kismet news, such as new interesting things posted publicly at the Patreon. (It's definitely not an advertisement for the Patreon, so it won't link to locked content - it's more of a free alternative.) After the current story arc, Sun-Cutter, wraps up, it will be an update list for keeping people up-to-date on when the comic is likely to resume and where to find it.
If you haven't read Kismet and want to, here it is on the website archive with my ancient hand-coded HTML.
Book One: Hunter's Moon (complete)
Book Two: Sun-Cutter (in progress)
I will just say up front that a) the early art is rough, and b) there are some things I would write differently if I were writing it now. But honestly, I feel like it's worn pretty well given that I posted the first chapters in 2002 (and wrote the first draft of the novella that became Book 1 all the way back in 1995, with more or less the exact same plot). It's certainly aged better than anything else I was working on at the time!
I also still can't get over how much Expanse reminds me of it in some ways. This entry is also posted at https://sholio.dreamwidth.org/1427309.html with
