Gadgets and Dollies!

You have noticed, I added a new section on the right. For those of you who like to subscribe to blog feeds, its supposed to make it easy to subscribe to DoI. Its one of the new gadgets blogger is offering so I thought I'd try it out.

Also, while going through my files, I found a bunch of DoI digital dolls that I made a long time ago, when I was still considering doing DoI as a webcomic. At the time, I was very into dolls. The idea was you would take a base doll graphic and then add your own hair, clothes, etc. Mine aren't very good. I did them in MS Paint for one. Two, I was never good at making bases, so I used other peoples. I can't find the website where I got these bases. It may not even exist anymore, its been that long. But if you know where these bases come from, please let me know as I'd love to post a link to give credit.

Anyway, for your amusement and enjoyment:

I love this base, just thought it was too cute. Yes, that's Emily hugging both an Ian doll and a Markas doll.

Chapter 10

I hope you're enjoying Chapter 9. I'm not sure who you is...I may just be talking to myself. I do that sometimes. Well, I guess if someone has read the novel so far and liked it enough to come here, then someone might be reading this blog. I think I'm turning into Frances Burney who addressed her journal to "Nobody". That's all right, Evelina is one of my favorite novels, so if I turn into her I guess I wouldn't be too bad off.

Anyways, if you've gotten this far past my babbling, you are probably still wondering why the title of this post is Chapter 10. Well, that's because I've started on Chapter 10. Hopefully, there won't be as long of wait between 9 and 10 as there was between 8 and 9.

Chapter 9...

...is done!!!! And is now posted here at dA. Please enjoy.

I'm in the process of submitting it to Elfwood, so just give it a few weeks and hopefully it will be there too.

Oh, and in case anyone is worried about things like cannon, I've changed the incantation for Emily's entangling spell. I used Impedementia before, but I recently re-read the Harry Potter series and realized that its one of the spells in there too. So, since I respect Ms. Rowling's work and don't want to be seen as trying to copy her, I've changed it. I hadn't realized it while writing it, but its weird the odd little bits that get stuck in your head sometimes. However, I haven't yet gone and changed it in the chapters already published. Unless I make any major changes, I won't go back and redo those chapters yet. When Book 1 is finished, I plan to go back and redo all the chapters to reflect those minor changes.
