A Slight Delay

I am sad to have to report that The Adjusters #17 is going to be a few days late. I'm struggling with one of the scenes, and I'd rather take a day or two to get it right than publish something I'm unhappy with. I humbly beg your collective forgiveness.

Here are a few things to keep you distracted in the meantime.

First off, remember that poll about who you'd see playing the characters in The Adjusters? Some great suggestions in the comments. Here's another one: how's Kristin Cavallari for Cindy?

Menage a 3 is a cute little "adult" webcomic about "the lives of comic book geek, Gary and his way-sexier-than-he-is roommates in their Montreal tight-as-a-sandwich apartment." Funny and sexy.

Finally, two interesting stories recently posted on the EMCSA. Obnoxious, by Cindy Silver Eyes: "Cindy can’t stand Brian. Nonetheless, she finds herself unable to disobey him," a very short tale of humiliation, and Twenty Days of the Device, by Corvus Kahn: "John finds a strange device in his bag after encountering a man on a train. What does it do? How will he handle it? Can he overcome his own personal demons? Can he resist the dark lure of total power?" That one is much longer, and has some very nice moments. Although it does suffer from the standard harem-stories problems, it has an actual ending, which alleviates much.

  2. Playing advocatus diaboli here: She is 5'6" so quite a bit taller than you have written Cindy to be.

  3. Yes, the harem thing. That why there should be some restrains on the power that falls in hands of a hero. So it wouldn't turn into some mad power trip with woman piling up on him...

  5. @met & @Anonymous - sorry again, and thanks for your patience :)

    @Astardis - Yeah, yeah, you're of course absolutely right. But she's so cute...

    @Domein - Yes, I agree. Many stories out there try to balance things out by having a bad guy with equally awesome power, but that's hard to pull off too. (I'm thinking of The Book, the first story in that vein I ever read.)
