Alright, so this isn't working. Here's the plan.  
04:58am 17/01/2014
 \n \n So, I keep staring at BT and wondering why I can't get it to work. I just can't. I try to draw it and it looks like ass and I give up and work on other things.

I don't have a lot of free time so I can't really just work on BT whenever I feel like it, which is making it that much harder. Trust me when I say that there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about BT.

I just really hate the art on it. When I first made it, I didn't really care. I'm not sure why I care now. But the more that I work on the art for it in the now, the more I hate what I'm doing. Not really whining, just putting out there why it's not getting done.

So I think I might just go ahead and upload the old BT archive to the new site, and pick up where I left off.

There's a big caveat here, I have no idea where I was going with the last comic issue. Well other than I wanted to introduce another Raekartan race. So if I do go back to updating BT, there's probably going to be some obvious jump between that last page, and the next new one. I might also redo some of the older, uglier pages as I move forward.

Right now I really don't have a whole lot of free time. And I'm hoping that BT will pull in donations so I can work less on worky work stuff and more on BT. But I will try to get it started again as soon as I can.

I hope this is acceptable to BT fans that have been writing to me, asking me to bring it back.

Don't hold your breath, I'm not making any promises right now but I do want to try to work on it as much as you guys want me to.

Tell me what you think on BT's forums: http://blacktapestries.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=38

BT Reboot Time!  
09:15pm 10/07/2012
 \n \n I'm rebooting it tonight. I Hope this comicpress thing works. It threw an error last night when I tried to post the first page. But I'll have to wait til midnight to make sure it actually goes through properly.  Anyway, tomorrow is the 10th anniversary of BT, so it seemed fitting.

With my work I prolly won't be able to do more than a once a week posting of BT, but we'll see how it goes. http://www.blacktapestries.com

For now I do have the forums up if anyone wants to sign up and mess around with it, make sure they can read everything ok: http://www.blacktapestries.com/forums/

Let's try this again.

mood: discontent

\n I have decided to restart BT within the next couple of months. I'm still not certain if: I am going to just reboot it from scratch. OR If I will continue the comic from where it left off. OR I will start redrawing the old pages while updating the comic as it stands.

Im sort of leaning reboot with some minor changes in the story, but I imagine that would be boring for the people that already know the story. So I might just slowly redraw some of the earlier issues and maybe clean it up. I don't know, I'd like for BT to look more dynamic. In addition, I would also be drawing it for print (It would need a total redraw in that case as the old PSD files were not made for printing).

I am still looking for \"stagehands\" on Second Life to help me build some of the backgrounds (Such as tavern settings,random houses, Castle Creedmoor rooms, Issac's Manorhouse, etc). If you're willing to help out with this, send me a notecard to Jakkal Dingo on SL or email me at jakkal at gmail dot com

No Updates  
05:12pm 11/07/2011
 \n \n At some point I will have to make a decision on BT, but now's not the time. I just don't know how to continue without my husband's help, and I don't want to write out his characters or his input. I'm at an odd fork in the road, but with wounds too fresh to really pick any direction and hope it turns out alright.

Alternatively, I think I will be putting my effort into Kaerwyn. I know it's not as well liked as BT but it allows me a little more freedom, and it involves a character that I'm more interested in right now than Lorelei. I can focus on him for a little while until I'm ready to pick this up again.

I'm not sure when it'll restart. But since Foobar was my husband's character, I might have to reboot it for a second time. I just wouldn't want to dishonor him by attempting to play Foobar. And he wasn't really interested in the K-comic much anyway.

But this is something I want to do to keep my mind off things. I'm not sure how regular the updates will be. I've had to pick up my husband's business and this will keep me extremely busy. But at the same time, it'll give me time to think about the comic and what I want to do with it. (There's a lot of mindless driving involved.)

Thanks for the support all, I appreciate it.

I'm sorry.

 \n \n I know you're going to get angry. And really, right now, that's not even phasing me.

My mate of 15 years past away last weekend. I have no idea what's going to happen now. I can't afford where we lived by myself, I don't even know if I'll have the opportunity to stay here. I don't know if I'll be able to keep the vehicles I paid for. I don't know if I'll be able to maintain his business as well as he did. I just don't know anything right now.

BT may or may not start back on time. This all depends on what happens in the next few weeks. I might work on BT just to take my mind off things.

But my mate was a huge influence on my writing. He even helped write a lot of BT. He wrote the dialogue of the black wolf in the original comic. He was always the one I could throw ideas at, and tell me honestly what he thought of them.

And now all that is gone.

I'm sorry all, I know many of you were looking forward to it, and I know I promised to make it happen. I just don't know if I'll be able to now.
