And once you start, you can't backtrack.

Sure you can. Just look at the number of fanfics that have been rewritten. And those went on far longer than a couple of comics before revision.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

And by working on short comics first, it would be less disruptive to alter or outright delete your early works because you decide later that they're not up to snuff.

And, since today is apparently National Jump To Conclusions Day...

For those following Friendship is Dragons, it looks like the latest campaign got derailed a bit

.

Oh, no! They've all transformed into giant, Swedish, lederhosen-clad yodelers! Run!

A new series begins.

Oh, the thread? Don't worry, it's just dead.

@Applelight; I'm going to second what Meta said. That's actually exactly what I'm doing in my original work; the initial plot I wanted to do was too much for me, so I'm currently writing little slice-of-life esque things to establish the settings and characters. It's on the back burner now because of school stuff, but it was certainly better progress than going straight for the epic right out of the gate.

@Irish: I couldn't help but laugh about the most recent addition to the strip. Feel bad for the Dungeon Master there. Glad to see I met another troper who reads the webcomic!

It's a Demonic Lighthouse Slide! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I beg of you, Durza, make it so.

I need to start reading Fi D sometime. Though the first 100 strips or so weren't all that impressive.

Just out of curiosity, but does anyone know if there's a way to view tumblr links (the kind that look like http://24.media.tumblr.com/3648ec78e2ab77632e251f5a96dd750f/tumblr_mjnxnlYqDg1rk5w1po1_1280.jpg)

on an iPhone?

I'm just asking, because I like using the URL upload feature on derpibooru when uploading pics from my phone, and I haven't found a way to do that. I've noticed that saving pictures to my phone causes a really noticeable drop in quality.

#348909 Kayeka Tue, 19th Mar '13 1:56:36 PM from Amsterdam

It's hardly impressive after those first 100, but it's free entertainment all the same. Though the latest comic did manage to throw a nice curveball.

In other news, I just saw Lord of War. Now I'm depressed. I'm going to need a LOT of ponies.

hey apple, wasn't a different character originally supposed to be the main character and batty was the stoic second in command? wasn't that what that "permission to lip quiver" thing you did was based on?

XP granted for befriending a giant magical spider!

#348911 Applelight Limited Tue, 19th Mar '13 2:12:57 PM from Manehattan to Canterlot

@ Blissey

Yeah...then I thought that since Batty's the most different of the group, he should be the lead...showing once and for all that I'm a scattered brained fool who can't settle on anything.

I'm also going public for the first time

. Wish me luck.

I must admit, I kinda like the theme of the character in question, not to mention the bit of detail ya did. Sure as feathers beats my artwork capacity. (Being stuck with drawing via mouse stinks, and having no bits for a tablet hurts.)

Feel free! In all humbleness, I really don't think I have to show you how bad my artwork is... but if ya absolutely insist, just fire a personal message, and I'll send ya one sample that'll convince ya to take my word for it.

Thank you!

Should I put Batty up?

Re: Button's Adventures

that looks like it would be pretty funny.

you're stronger than you think you are.

If it makes you feel better, Sierra Leone and Liberia are actually pretty peaceful nowadays. In fact, Sierra Leone's murder rate is a fifth of New York's.

Well. That's quite the coincidence.

I... doubt that very sincerely.

Even if they do, well... Original Character Do Not Steal. What a shame.

By the way, if anyone is worried about student debt, I'd reccomend going into Cs if you're any good at it. You'd be amazed as what Google and Facebook are paying nowadays.

If you're lucky enough to get your foot in the door immediately upon graduation. They pick up a lot of undergrad interns, but outside of that they're hit with the same tide of extremely experienced laid-off workers as the rest of software at the moment.

Also almost all the jobs are in generic webmastering, so if you specialize in anything other than web scripting you're doubly boned.

#348921 Mio Tue, 19th Mar '13 2:56:36 PM

It would probably be best to come back later to look at how your art was received. It also doesn't seem like you were accused any plagrism so I wouldn't worry about it.

...hold up. Magic Missile isn't guaranteed damage in 4th Edition. It's a standard attack roll jobbie.

I have a message from another time...

It does, actually. Thanks.

that got changed in the errata, after some 3.5 fanboys complained.

@ story

It's Batty, not Coconut.
