Stuff happening! As the advisory states, we shouldn’t expect “regular” updates just yet. However, something is better than nothing, I say!
Also…
Alan was askin’ for it.

Hey guys,
I wanted to give everyone an update on the situation and explain the recent dead period from my perspective as the artist.
I started working on Ship in a Bottle as a favor to Mace, who needed an artist to take over for Tira-chan at that time. I was willing to do that for him, even though I knew I wouldn’t be paid, because I owed him a favor. I was only working part-time, and I had very few gigs online. So I had that extra time to commit to the project. I figured it would be temporary until Mace could save up enough from donations and whatnot to pay an artist proper, and I thought I’d have a colorist to help bear some of the burden. The bottom fell out of both of those prospects, so it’s just me now.
Since then I’ve got jobs from all over the place demanding a lot of my time. Mace is also working full-time and more, so he isn’t able to help with coloring and stuff. So unless a few miraculous things happen, updates will probably be really slow. But, I will try to buck up and work more quickly. I have a page on the way that is inked, and I just need to colorize it. So it’ll be soon.
All else I can really do is apologize and thank you for your patience.
Glance and I are up to our asses in work, so we’re taking a breather for a while. This is the reason for the lack of updates of late. But rest assured, we plan to come back like gangbusters once we have less junk on our plates. In fact, I already have the next incentive mapped out! I’ll give everyone a hint: it involves some gender-bending. Heh heh…
Anyway, I’ll try and keep everyone up-to-date on what’s happening, but for now, let’s assume that Ship in a Bottle will be on hiatus for at least three more weeks, and then we’ll see what’s what. On the plus side, as soon as some of the artwork starts rolling in, my OTHER smut series, Peppermint Saga will finally be returning to the airwaves. So, say tuned!

So, I have to ask: would you guys be interested in seeing the incentives come back? I think I sure would. I’m putting up a poll, and based on the collected answers by Sunday (July 15), I will make a decision. It’s on the right above the Chip-in widget. The strategy and rewards will be the same as before. Except this month, it’ll be half as much since half the month is gone.
