Previous News10.22.2004 - Isabel Marks:Sorry about taking so long to update the site's news... I've been rather busy with family matters as of late... right now I can keep up with my comics, but that's about it (especially with having to fit time to redesign Spare Part's site- Spare Parts turned one year old on the 22nd! Please check our other comic out!).I've finally been able to take down the Site Meter button (I personally don't like those things... they are horribly inaccurate. But, with the old host, it was that or nothing). The ISP's tracker is far more accurate.
We're two thirds of the way done with the month of October, yet we're only a third of the way to our donation goal to having You Say it First update six days a week for the month of November. If you enjoy the weekend updates (including the extra large Sunday comics), please consider donating to help keep them going!
There is going to be a few more additions to the ND Unlimited Store in a few days... please don't forget- we're Pay Pal friendly and we accept International shipping at an economical price!
09.28.2004 - Isabel Marks:Ok... since I fulfilled my quota for the use of the word 'angst' over in Namir Deiter's news, you all will get only positive stuff (which means, that should be quick). Terrence is in the middle of some site moving- we'll have more information on that once things get set... till then... um... wait.Still haven't worked on that cast page/ fan art page... this wasn't the best of weekends to start that.
On the plus side, please visit YSiF Monday through Friday as well as on Sunday for updates this month (the Sunday October comics will be large, one shot style comics because I know you all don't read this comic over the weekend- I wouldn't want you to be confused come Monday!).
The donation total has been reset- I will be giving away a wallpaper to donators as a bonus thank you for this month (once I get it done, of course)!
09.28.2004 - Isabel Marks:Sorry about taking so long to update the news around here... we're in the process of doing a million things at once... all at the same time preparing for Ani-Magic that we will be attending on October 1-3rd. Please wish us luck and if you live around Valencia , California- please visit us!You Say it First gots fan art! I... just need to get the page done- as well as prepare an updated cast page... I hope to have this done some time after the convention.
Well... we only have about three days left and are about $85 short of going five days a week. Please donate if you can. Next month I will be giving more incentive for people to donate next month, please stay tuned!
09.20.2004 - Isabel Marks:Hi everyone... I hope you all are having a good September- ours has certainly been interesting...Every week it seems a new problem arises with our car. It's running again, but currently is lacking a muffler and is leaking oil- but only a little. This should be eradicated soon (or at least, after Terrence's paycheck). To celebrate Terrence's birthday, we went out to the L. A. County fair... it was nice, but the carny folk befuddled us out of $15. Grr. We had a good time though, and Terrence got a deep fried Snickers bar.
This weekend Terrence made a banner stand for us to use at Ani-Magic (I'm already having nightmares about getting books in time for this convention)- he's so talented with PVC pipes- we'll be sure to take a picture of it soon.
I still have so much left to do for this convention... and it seems I'm getting some kind of bug that's making me feel lightheaded- just enough for me to feel bad about not working on things, but enough to make me lose my concentration more often than not. ><
Don't forget about the donation drive for the month- I brought it down to $200, so if you enjoy the five day a week updates, please donate today!
09.07.2004 - Isabel Marks:Yes, it's about time I updated the news around here... Anime Vegas itself went well- the short time we were there. It was just everything else that didn't go well... at all. The convention itself was the best con I have ever gone to.Now onto YSiF related news... remember folks, Kimberly and Brisbane are going to be doing a lot more work in the month of September, going five days a week and all. Thank you all for donating!
The donation total as been reset for the month, so if you want October to be another busy spell for our fair duo, please donate (I should also mention that the total went up about $100; if only due to the fact that it's going to take a lot more time to work on the extra comics than I first imagined). So, if you're a fan of the new schedule- please think of donating and like I mentioned before, even if we don't make our monthly goal, I won't be taking the comic away- it'll just go back to three days a week. :)
In book related news- I now have You Say it First Book One in my possession! It was even on sale over at Anime Vegas (as it will be over at Ani-Magic this October- which I really need to find someone with a ride who will be willing to hang out with me all Friday- since Terrence can't get off of work again any time soon). The book itself came out great (IMHO) and will be on sale sometime next month (or whenever I get all my other comic books printed- whichever comes first ><).
08.26.2004 - Isabel Marks:You guys are just the greatest. Period. Wow. We made it to our goal and then some!I'm sorry I don't have much more news to report other than making our goal but, wow... that's some news. You people just rock!
I need to start working on the last of this arc and start prodding Terrence to get me some scripts written (it's his turn).
08.24.2004 - Isabel Marks:Wow! What can I say... we're almost half way done with the mini-donation drive to go five days a week this September! Unfortunately there is only a week left, so please help if you can (I'm really sorry for springing this on you all so suddenly, even if we don't quite reach the goal, I'll make sure I have something special for you all- although it might not be as nice as a five day a week update).Today I got the You Say it First Book One proofs in the mail today- they look great! The book is 80 pages, black and white with a ten page bonus story as well as the two page story from the Free Comic Book Day booklet! It will more than likely be on sale some time by the end of September, please keep an eye out for it.
In other news... work on You Say it First Book 0: Conflicting Introductions has, at the least, been poked and prodded a little- which is the most work done with it ever. I'm hoping to get Terrence writing it soon so I can work on it soon because I'd really like this project to be done soon (noticing a trend here??). I hope to have more info on this... one day.. *sniff* *sniff*
