Hey, guys! Did you see AGENCY's review on The Webcomic Review Comic on the Web? You didn't?

Well, don't. :P

Ah, I'm kidding. :D I knew I was gonna get eaten alive. The story behind it was that I signed up for their review list a YEAR ago (dang, that's a long waiting list), thinking that AGENCY would be more than halfway through by then. Well, it wasn't. Life happened. And I've had so little time to work on the comic… the review reminded me just how BAD it's affecting the pacing. They're definitely right about that. I'm also extremely happy that they enjoyed my art. (: That brought a smile to my face.

Though I definitely don't agree with their disapproval of using trademarked characters. AGENCY, if you haven't figured it out by now, is fanfiction. It's a way for people with similar interests and these childhood memories to join in and see these characters interact– and whose often light backstories you might enjoy seeing affect this darker story. It's not "plagiarizing" unless I'm saying these are my characters and I start selling my work.

WHEW okay. Rant over. I gotta learn to accept that fanfiction will always be the fodder of the art world. Even the sequential art world. :P Enjoy the page.
