Delay and a Webcomic

Several events have aligned in the cosmos to delay the production of our... uh... production. Our director got a job on a different project that was actually a paying job, and I've decided to start a webcomic, which I've only just started to put together.

More on this webcomic as it develops. (Read: I'm gonna shamelessly plug the crap out of this project even though it isn't technically affiliated with Long Coat Productions.) It doesn't even have the "web" part established yet (or the comic part, really) but it's turning out to be a vaguely Robin-Hood-esque sword-and-sorcery high fantasy with Steampunk elements. It's the story of a lost princess, unaware of her birthright, raised by a bandit gang led by a swashbuckling rogue reminiscent of a hypothetical amalgamation of Jack Sparrow, Inigo Montoya, and Zorro. Okay, so it's a little bit like the plot of Final Fantasy 9. It'll be funny, it'll be tragic, it'll be epic. And when I say epic, I mean it in the sense of the word that was in use before it was commandeered by frat boys the world over. I mean it in the sense of the old stories. The one that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? But seriously. Read it. I'll post a link when it gets to being online.

By the way, Final Fantasy 9 is soooo much better than Final Fantasy 7. Sorry all you Sephiroth fanboys out. That's just a simple truth of the universe. I could go into a deeper analysis-rant, but I'll save that for my other blog. (Besides, I just alienated at least half of my potential fanbase.) Stop typing now? You betcha.
