THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to look and vote! We couldn't have done it without you.

The end of the November competition is less than a week away, and we could really use votes and support! Spread the word if you'd like to see IN MAPS & LEGENDS go on to be serialized... we've got some great plans for this webcomic of ours, and I'd *love* to be able to draw it.

Here are the current standings, so you can why we need your support: [link]
It just takes a minute or two to sign up and vote, fave, and rate

November's been a crazy month, with a lot of support pouring in from all over. Mike and I have done a couple in-depth interviews about the Zuda process and IN MAPS & LEGENDS, so if you're interested, check 'em out.

If you missed my posts about it, here’s a quick run-down of our story:
"Kait doesn't know why she gets up in the middle of the night to carve a map onto the wall of the spare room of her apartment. Before she can finish it, though, a strange man named Bartamus shows up at her place in the middle of a wintry night, claiming to be from another, dying world that desperately needs Kait’s help."

So if you like curvy girls who glare a lot, maps, and the potential for some steampunk, take a look! [link] It's crucial that we get votes (and favorites!) if we want to keep our lead (the guy in 2nd place is breathing down our necks...). With the holidays coming up we're worried that we may slip. So get your votes in when you still can! The competition ends NOVEMBER 30-- Next Monday at noon.

Thanks again to all who have taken a look and voted so far! [link]

A few months ago I teamed up with a writer, and we put together an entry… last week we found out we were chosen to take part in this month’s competition!

If you want to help out or take a look, just do the following:
(Or if you’re confused by the instructions, I put a how-to graphic on my site here: [link] )

1. Register on ZudaComics.com, [link]
2. Verify the account via your email.
3. Sign into ZudaComics.com and select "IN MAPS & LEGENDS" ( [link] )
4. Read the comic!
5. To the right of the comic, please press the VOTE button, rate the comic five stars and 'add as favorite.' The vote is by far the most important of these three things. (You can also add a nice comment if you want~)
6. Have your friends do the same before the end of November.

And that’s it! I can’t say thank you enough if you choose to help us out.

Even if you don’t vote for us, be sure to check out the contest. Zuda puts up some really interesting stories each month, and it’s a great chance to see what’s popular with readers and why. And spread the word! It’s a unique way of getting your work considered by DC.

THANK YOU!

Moving on, growing up, letting myself happen.

Nonsense and scribbles, keeping myself focused; all of that goes here. ]]> ~desolatepoppet
