Hiatus, Q&A/drawing video, and Duane and Sette Q&A!
Added 2015-12-07 04:52:39 +0000 UTCIn case you missed it on the site, I'll be taking a posting hiatus until February 15th. Please do not feel at all weird about dropping your pledge until I come back, I think it's only fair.
If you do stick around however, I'll be doing a new Q&A vid in the coming fortnight as well as drawing up something festive and Christmassy. I'm tempted towards a shot of our heroes dozing in front of a fire while Duane looks on wistfully from somewhere cooler, but if you have another suggestion, post it!
Also and most especially, post any questions you'd like me to answer, or anything you'd like me to talk about in general.
Additionally, I'll be doing a few sketch comics exclusively for you Patreon lovelies wherein Duane and Sette answer your questions. I've done text Q&As with them in the past and will probably open up Tumblr in a month or so to do some more, but in the meantime, I can take a few questions here that might be better answered visually. Post 'em! Make these jerks squirm.

For Sette: Is it true that you don't age? And is this effect more a immortality variation, or a limited-duration eternal youth variation? Or is it just reeaaally slow aging? (Like - 20 meatspace years = 10 bodily apparent years, i.e. 40-year-old Sette looks 20.)

2015-12-22 20:33:10 +0000 UTCAre you kidding?? You're so remarkably timely with your postings that it's only fair we support you through your hiatus. :)

2015-12-22 20:25:50 +0000 UTCAgreed with the previous posters on pledges: if anything, your pledge levels are remarkably low compared to the Patreon standard. Now, if I were to ask questions, hmmm. 1) Does electromagnetism work in Kasslyne? The existance of Solidity as an aspect implies it doesn't, but the fact that the Sun is capable of shining implies it does?.. 1a) A very primitive radio can be built with literally medieval tech. Would one work in Kasslyne? 1b) Are there elementary particles in Kasslyne? Atoms, molecules, quarks? If yes, are their interactions controlled by khert, and thus potentially pymary-controllable? If not, does (bio)chemistry work in Kasslyne? 2) For that matter, does gravity exist? Is Kasslyne going around the Sun tethered by gravitational force? 2a) Does astronomy exist in Kasslyne? Do they know of other planets in the system? Do they have cool constellation names? 2b) What about astrology? Does a zodiacal cycle exist? Do horoscopes? 3) You once said Kasslyne humans were different from Earth humans in at least one way. Was the difference that the Kasslynians verifyably have souls? 3a) Can Kasslynians experience clinical death? Or does the khert snatch up their memories, and that's it? How does the khert determine the moment of death? Can it be weaponized - like, your opponent's heart stopped for a moment, until the khert rips out their soul and sends it to reincarnate?

2015-12-18 23:04:22 +0000 UTCOh oh oh! And for a potential (goofy) D and S question: How would Kasslynians react to (non-avian) dinosaurs? Would they consider the feathery theropods large birds? What would they think of ceratopsians, or sauropods, or hadrosaurs?

2015-12-16 04:17:18 +0000 UTCYou mentioned, a while back, that you might eventually be writing short prose stories about Sette and her dog, and about Duane and such. Which story are you most looking forward to writing? (Also, are you still considering writing a story about the guy who rediscovered pymaric disinfection? IIRC, you mentioned that once.) Merry Christmas! Hope yours is restful and very fun!

2015-12-14 20:16:23 +0000 UTCEnjoy the holidays Ashley, you have earned the time-off. I can't wait to see the character dynamic that will ensue when the crew gets together. Q for you: Do you listen to music while you work? What kind of music? I do but I have to pause if the task requieres more attention or thought. Q for Sette: What are the conditions for joining the gang? Q for Quigley: That was all Duane and Toma, What gives?

2015-12-14 06:32:05 +0000 UTCSette, though it seems that you have come to terms with Duane, the fact remains that he's kind of a dork and poses the risk of cramping your ladyship's style. What would you do to make him more awesome? (Duane, take notes. Establish countermeasures.)

2015-12-12 20:12:17 +0000 UTCA question for Duane and Sette: what do you like most about the other?

2015-12-11 19:04:51 +0000 UTCFor Duane and Sette, did you have a favorite pet and what was the best thing you remember about them?
GracieV
2015-12-08 16:24:06 +0000 UTCQ for both Sette and Duane! Since the two of you come from faiths that differ, one can somewhat assume there are different stories available. Which story or scripture in particular is your favorites? Bonus points for explaining why that story is your favorite, either because that fable or teaching connects to you in some way, or just makes you laugh.

2015-12-08 15:16:06 +0000 UTCOK, I have a Q for the Duane and Sette Q&A Given that Sette's gang (I think) currently consists of Duane, Jivi, Matty and Boo, can she tell us how they'd go about running Sharteshane? Like roles and responsibilities.

2015-12-08 15:03:45 +0000 UTCSilly question, but the only one that popped up when thinking about a visual answer: how would Sette invite Duane to an all-toys tea party? Also, Ashley, would you maybe consider running a monthly raffle whereby for one lucky winner out of the patrons (just one; to keep it simple, super exclusive, not straining you or interfering with regular workload) you draw a small request?

2015-12-07 23:04:06 +0000 UTCAhh, Chris, thank you so much XD You guys are really too good to me! *draws harder and with more determination*

2015-12-07 22:43:31 +0000 UTCWhat kind of presents would Santa Boo deliver? maybe a few detonators? I like the idea of a tree decorated with glamour charms that don't reveal their contents until selected by someone... In terms of questions, I want to know if Sette can choose to use that tail either to thwap someone in the face or to hang down by. She doesn't seem to use it that way now, but could she train to do so?

2015-12-07 19:32:07 +0000 UTCDrop my pledge? I'm thinking about bumping it up for Christmas! Thanks again for sharing this crazy world of yours.
Chris Engle
2015-12-07 18:13:57 +0000 UTCI like this! And maybe he's punching up the narrative with a few glamours. I always imagined he did the same when telling stories to Simon and Mickie.

2015-12-07 16:00:37 +0000 UTCEnjoy your holiday, but I'm going to leave my pledge right where it is. ;) And yeah the Christmassy fireplace pic sounds sweet. How about a sort-of-redo of the Duane in the brothel thing. But instead of reading to a snoring prostitute he is reading to the enraptured kids... and a snoring Sette. :D

2015-12-07 10:34:13 +0000 UTCWhy should we drop our pledges? Every great artist needs some time to recuperate. Have a great time and recharge ;)

2015-12-07 07:03:59 +0000 UTCThe fire pic sounds cute!
Hannah
2015-12-07 06:11:15 +0000 UTCI want heroes snugged together in front of fire. But snugged on top of DUANE! And I want the horoes just the Sette gang members only. THE KIDS! (And boo)..and Duane!!
