"Artists need to make money to eat and to continue to make art. Artists used to rely on middlemen to collect their money on their behalf, thereby rendering themselves innocent of cash-handling in the public eye. Artists will now be coming straight to you (yes YOU, you who want their music, their films, their books) for their paychecks. Please welcome them. Please help them. Please do not make them feel badly about asking you directly for money.” -Amanda Palmer

Question for Onstad!
« on: October 28, 2004, 01:22:47 pm »
I'm not trying to be pissy or give you a hard time here, I'd just honestly like to know -- Do you intend to continue updating the Serializer strips?  Achewood was pretty much the only thing I read there and if you aren't going to post I don't really have a reason to subscribe.

I quit my serializer subscription.
Then Onstad updated with "How I made it in web comics."
I reapplied for serializer.
They said I already had an active subscription. WTF.
Then...

It turns out that's a reprint of something he printed in Flak magazine.

And there's been nothing since.

Sorry to go all joughish here, but actual money is involved. I've ignored it because it's a trivial amount thus far, but if updates just aren't gonna happen, I can divert it elsewhere.

I refer to it as an archive now, and recommend just buying a one-month subscription if Achewood is the only one you're interested in reading. I think there are over sixty installments in there, so for $3 or whatever, it's a really good deal. Thanks for subscribing, it does help support Achewood.

Thanks Chris.  It's a wonderful set of stuff and I'll probably re-subscribe at some point to check it out again.

That's good to know. I might pay for a month and get caught up; three bucks for sixty strips is more than reasonable, I believe.

I keep forgetting to cancel that. Oh well, it's a good cause.

So no more new Achewood at Serializer?

I guess I'll cancel then.  I don't really read anything else there.

I expect to have time to add things there again after the holidays. We're really busy right now with producing a few new books and shop items.

From what I've heard regarding the different experiences in the strip books (plus the cookbooks -- the mussel linguini recipe was good), it may be worth it to save the for-pay content for print. I give a shit about serializer but I've been convinced to buy the anthologies and cookbook.

I rather agree re: saving for-pay content for the books. They give me a greater incentive to actually buy the books; since I'm not all that focused on just having a hard copy of strips I've already read, it's nice to have some incentive that sweetens the pot. Also, I'm fairly sure I'd rather pay ten bucks for a book I'll have forever than three bucks for reading access for a month.
