"Ithaqa" Fundition Update #6

Sorry to leave you hanging for so many days, I was visiting my family for Father's Day over the weekend, and did not bring any kind of computer. Was nice not to read any news for a few days, but was not nice to miss out on steemit posts!

My buffer for instagram also ran out, so all in all, I dropped the ball! Good news is that my editor liked issue 6, which surprised me! I suppose it shouldn't have, because I like issue 6. I think that the trauma I faced with the now mythical 20+ rewrites from Issue 4 have primed me to assume that nothing I do will ever be usable on the first try.

That's not to say that I don't have at least 2-3 rewrites left in issue 6, but a lot of what's happening is good and will make it to the final cut.

I'm also starting to realize that this comic may go on for more than 8 issues. It might be looking like 9 or 10 now. Too early to say, but even though I got all my characters into the woods finally, it's going to take some work to allow them to make the informed decision to save Ithaca and maybe also the world.

The first draft of the full Ithaqa comic essentially had them stumbling upon this plot by accident and then fighting a cosmic horror several pages later. I need to do better than that this time around, and Lovecraftian horror is supposed to be a slow boil anyways...

Issue 3 Leaderboard:

@Fundition Contribution: $103.25

Council of Five:

The fight for 5th place remains contentious as ever, but even 2nd place is becoming fairly vulnerable!

We have currently raised $121.34 towards our goal of $2,000, which puts us at 6.07% of our goal. When we get to 25% of our goal, we will unveil our next prize!
