I blame that on too much Manga! ;D Ahem... I refuse to say anything about that! ;D On the other hand, checked on Errant Story. Blasted... one of the creator's completely knocked out due to personal illnesses. Damn... remind me, EK. Why do so many sucky comics get to stay alive for over 10 years while comics like ES run into problems like these? :/

No back up or support, Luci. Where you have one or two people running everything, there's no safety net. Still sucks, though. I really like Errant Story. It's different from everything else out there.

*sighs* Oh well... that sucks. Yeah, I kinda love all the characters in there. And ahahaha... it's funny how Sara has to put up with listening to Ellis blabber away. Currently re-reading ES until 2007 Dec. And actually poor Sara, if Ellis hadn't been tied up, I think she might've got into worse trouble. Nothing like an immortal flying, demonic cat to claw you in the face. ;D I mean: you could try killing it but it'd just spring back with an unholy vengeance and start sprouting enough phrases to scar your mind. Poor gal is really really Miss Deadpan, btw. Btw, Ian... can we just say that he's a colossal mistake waiting to happen? Little wonder why the Gods made the "Pande-whoever they're" a lot dumber than the Elves and the humans. >>;; He's one of my "most hated" characters, btw, for that obnoxious, "holier than thou + god complex" attitude.

Ian can't handle the power, nor discard the weight and fury of his own prejudices. To be fair, considering the genocide committed on most people like him, I can understand that, but still.
Two Elven gods... I suspect he requires balance, which means the second to have a host also... The obvious occurs as likely, here...

Yep, he's too young... and too hot-headed really.
Soo... who's going to host the other god? They better NOT screw it up. I can't forsee Meiji to be a god. No... that wouldn't work.
Also, there was some speculation on a thread that maybe the "god possession thing" didn't go off so well 'cos of gender incompatibility: Ani was a female and he's male. But I think your observations are far more convincing.

Yeah. He was screwed up to start with. Godly power was only going to amplify the problems.
I'm pretty sure our amoral young power seeker will end up hosting the other god. I'm almost convinced the 'unwritten rule' is that it'll have to be a half-elf, not a full elf. Plus Meji & Ian have this whole 'tragic couple' thing about them. And she wants it. Badly. I'm not buying that whole 'I want to do good' line from her for a single second...

Yeah, her intentions might not be of the most purest motives but she's at least grown up a bit now. She's no longer an attention-seeking, crazed loony who'd just start blowing up things randomly 'cos they didn't go her way. I hope! I dunno though... the other elves already have moved on to the other site. Short of getting annihilated or running into some massive delays, I just don't see how they wouldn't already have their own God. Unless of course, the power is incompatible with the bodies of their own kind. *snickers* On one hand, it'd be awesome to see the look of those bastards as they just realised they might've dug their own hole by you know... "thinning down all the half-elves, thus having the worst candidate they could have". On the other hand, it'd likely mean harbouring of more resentment towards half-elves. I'm not sure how either situation would be better. Btw, "tragic couple", eh? I was seeing it more as "pissed-off, enraged girlfriend wannabe" beating the crap out of "uncontrollable boyfriend wannabe". More like: how an angry wife deals with her husband after he does something incredibly stupid. Soo... "smiting him with a giant saucepan repeatedly until he shuts up and listens?" ;D Oh and both of them definitely have psychological issues, all right. It just shows somewhat in their behaviours. But seriously... why are you so sure Meiji won't turn out to be just like Ian if she becomes a God? She has a lot of issues, just that she deals with them differently by threatening and blowing up things. What would stop her from blowing up another city once her ego gets inflated? P.S. Meiji btw is also a brand name for certain food products. Now, I can never get the image out of my mind: of Meiji being a giant chocolate stick or a tub of yoghurt.

LOL!
I think Meji would fall into the exact same pitfalls as Ian... if it were not for the one thing that has as yet played no part: Senilis & Anilis. Aren't they lovers? Both incarnated once more, I suspect there will be a reaction...
Meji is the clear favourite to get the power for another reason than just being a half-elf: her clear romantic interest in Ian, where the Elves want to destroy him.
Assuming Senilis has any choice of who to bond with, who would he go for?

Blah... you really out-think everything. I'm already getting to that point with certain things but I'd better slow it down. ;D Yeah you're right that Senilis would choose the one who holds his gf. Though... btw, I'm wondering what the effects on both of the 2 "hosts" would be: hosting someone of the opposite gender. Maybe none, though. Or that: perhaps that's actually what the goddess' personality is like: hot-tempered, pure destruction. Hey, no one said that all "gods" have to be peaceful and all-loving. Btw, ES is a real surprise given how Exploitation Now was mostly "sex + gags first" until Poe decided to put in a story later.

Let's just say I am rarely surprised, shall we? ;D
Never saw EN. Sounds like I missed nothing.

If you ever read those gagstrips in ES, I think that kinda summarises the humour in EN.

Btw, EK, ever heard of Haru Sari? Not too sure if it's up your alley but it's very interesting nonetheless. I've been following it for a while and the story is about this gal who suffers from a condition that causes deformities and other body issues, her doctor(an elf) and many others. www.haru-sari.com/by8w45/story/

Yep... why not use RSS and Google Reader to keep track of site updates? That's what I'm doing now as I finally snapped after trying to visit a gazillion websites. @#$@#

Ah? What kinda function would that be? Oh let me guess... sessions? Nah I already have enough problems remembering bookmarks. ^^;; It's like the other day when I finally remembered about some old link(like 8 years down the road) and of course the site was dead by then!

There's an 'open all tabs in this section' option. My bookmarks are at least semi-organised, so I just hit the one with all the web comics in.

Meh... can see you doing that. Unfortunately, I got too many webcomics I read. >_<;; I've already quit reading new ones. Gah but but but... @_@ it's like a disaster with my obsessive complex.
