Most of you who don't follow me in real life follow me because you all became fans of my Star Wars fan comic. And I want to apologize right now for dropping the ball on it. I love my characters. I love the overall arcs it took. I like the jokes.
But looking back on it now, especially in the every beginning, there are several story arcs I can't believe I wrote. The art was hideous...not saying I'm a master now, by ANY stretch of the imagination, but it hurts to look at sometimes. And I think I just got worn out. And for that, I truly apologize to everyone I kept waiting, especially after I announced it would be coming back, only to upload a handful of strips. Life got in the way (as usual) but I still can't help but feel bad about it. You guys are amazing, and your comments brought me many smiles.
This all being said, I recently acquired a book that goes into pretty awesome detail about the Jedi and how the ranks work, how they grow and learn, and whatnot. And I never forgot my characters, but this brought them back into the front of my mind. I miss my Anakin, Joone, Mari...all the characters, really. They meant so much to me over the years.
I had the ending planned out, but I cannot continue to work from where I stopped; it feels too messy and sloppy at this point. I did start the comic many years ago, and never planned for it to go this far. But here it is. And I want to continue, but like I said, not from here. I'm thinking a relaunch would be in order. Start over, start fresh.
Would I take down the old comic? No, absolutely not. As much as it embarrasses me now, doing those comics helped me grow, and I still love them for what they were. And I know many of you love them as well, and I will not take them down. The relaunch would go in its own folder, or perhaps a new deviantART ID all together.
Currently, because the real-life basis of the cast seems to like the idea, I am 95% positive I will go through with this (I started it for them, after all). It would probably be a once a week thing, uploaded on Sundays. That way, I don't get worn out as fast as I used to (7 pages in one day was my record...think about that). Just throwing this out there to see if anyone else has any opinions on the matter, cause as I said, I like you guys and ya'll rock. <3
Sincerely,
Kayleen

Due to Flooding....
1 min read
No comic today due to my house flooding.
...
No, I'm damned serious. Got out of the shower yesterday to find, not 1, not 2, but THREE bathrooms flooding due to a sewage pipeline issue. Luckily, it should be the city's problem, but that might mean it will take forever to actually get fixed.
At least the water stopped coming INTO the house and trying to take over
's bedroom. Which, btw, if you haven't checked her out yet, you really should. She's one of them awesome art peoples who has actual TALENT, unlike me.
I'll try to do a comic this weekend.

Curse you, sickness!

I have been sick since Thursday. Add that to the swarm of people (either people I knew who would be here and people who I had no clue would be showing up) who were at my house this weekend, and no SWFC update for today.
I will try to have one for Thursday.

THIS AFTERNOON! SWFC RELAUNCH!

You thought I would back out again, didn't ya? 
Nope, not this time, I am proud to report! But before this comic resumes, I should probably make a few notes:
1) It's been a while since I wrote one, as you all know. It'll probably take me a few strips to get back into the grove of writing it, but it shouldn't take TOO long.
2) Same thing with the art. This is a new program I have to work with, and it has proven to be a bit more difficult than I imagined it would be. (I'm going to tell you right now, the third comic I am working on is probably the winner of worst drawn comic of the series...and that's saying something. But more on that when the time comes). Not that my art was anything AMAZING to begin with, but yeah. It's just like riding a bicycle...
3) I want to keep a steady schedule. As for right now, it will be a Tues/Thur update, on a day. I loved loved LOVED doing multiples on one day (I felt so ahead of the game!) but not at the price of not uploading more for the next month (felt pretty bad about that one...)
So yes! Tuesday and Thursdays for now. If time allows, I may go to a M-W-F schedule, but let's start with 2, shall we?
*siiiigh*
Other than that, I don't have much to say here. See you all in a few hours
