More web comics.

I promised you more, didn't I? ^_^

Questionable Content
Author: Jeph Jaques
Genre: Real life, contemporary, humour, drama, romance, sci-fi,
Rating: um... I'd probably say for older teens, at least. Mostly for off-colour jokes.
Updates: Monday through Friday.
Book Available: Not yet, though he's working on it.
Questionable Content is about a group of friends, all young adults, who it more or less follows day to day. The main character is Martin, who works at the university library when he isn't out with his band.

Red String
Author: Gina Biggs
Genre: Romance, contemporary, Drama, Humour.
Rating: Teen. 14+ or so, I'd say. Some adult stuff - two of the characters have sex. It's not graphic - you see them in their underwear, and a shot from the waist up but the guy's arm is covering her breasts, so you still don't see anything. There is also a F/F pairing. Arranged marriages, which the characters generally accept to some extent. Love triangles.
Updates: Comics are Monday to Thursday, Fridays are Sketch days.
Book Available: 4 so far, with #5 available to pre-order.
You start out with the main character, Miharu, who is informed that her parents have arranged a marriage for her. Needless to say, this doesn't go over well, and she runs off. While wandering around the city, she ends up at the park and meets a young man around her age, who she quickly forms a connection with. I'll avoid saying any more to avoid spoilers, so if you want to find out what happens next you'll have to read for yourself!

I'll put some more comics up later. Have fun reading!

Webcomic (sorta)

A Distant Soil
Author: Colleen Doran
Genre: Sci-fi, Fantasy, Psychics, Magic,
Rating: Maybe about 14+? There's some more adult scenes and subjects, but I don't think it's too graphic.
Notes: Gay/Bi characters, Het characters, some violence, mature subjects.

A Distant Soil is now up as a webcomic. It was out a few years ago in print form, however, and is probably still available in many libraries. It's also up for sale on Amazon.

There are four books in the Distant Soil series:

1. A Distant Soil
   
2. The Ascendant
   
3. The Aria
   
4. Coda
   

Webcomics

Not sure if everyone know about these. Web comics are basically a comic book that is hosted on the internet. The authors seem to use the internet to bring interest to their work. Many authors are eventually able to publish actual books of their comics.

I figured I'd put up a few of the ones I read:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Title: Faux Pas.
Genre: Humour, drama, fantasy.
Rating: I'd say it's acceptable for about 13+ or so. There's pretty much no violence, or rude language. There's a few more 'mature' jokes (the main character, Randy is trying to teach the visiting vixen Cindy how to understand human-speech. He tries to find something on t.v. that will work, but Jerry Springer comes up...). There isn't anything worse than that though.
Updates: Generally 3 times per week.
Books available: Unknown
Faux Pas is a comic that features animals as the characters rather than humans (think Babe or The Incredible Journey).

"Faux Pas (pronounced American-fashion, "fox paws") is the story of Randy and his animal friends, most of whom were trained to be studio animal actors - the animals you see in movies, commercials and in live stage shows. Most of them are now retired, officially or through lack of opportunity, and eke out an existence as best they can while avoiding being hunted, eaten or sold. The main setting for the series is Green Mountain Studio Animals (GMSA), a run-down farm in the Colorado Rockies. They fully realize that they exist at the whim of their human owners, but Randy's new owners are content to let him and his friends live pretty much as they please.

Tossed into the mix are a herd of housecats who think of Randy as their personal cat toy. Chief among the cats is Kira, who tries to help Randy when she can just to keep him from being so predictable. Also prominent in Randy's life is Cindy, a wilderness vixen who finds him charming and attractive, if confusing.

The action mostly takes place at or near GMSA. Other settings include the surrounding mountain woodlands where their wild animal friends live; the nearby zoo, known as St. Mia Hatz; and the occasional trip to remote locations where one or another of the crew might actually get some work. Randy's adventures occasionally take him far afield, but he always manages to find his way back."

Girls With Slingshots
Author: Danielle Corsetto
Genre: Humour, Romance, Real-Life, Het pairings, F/F pairings.
Rating: Definitely for an older audience. I'd say mid to late teens, at least. Dirty jokes, adult situations, and so on.
Updates: Weekdays, and occasionally Sundays.
Book available: Yes

~~~~~~~~~
A Girl and Her Fed.
Author: Otter
Genre: Humour, Action, Adventure,
Rating: I'd say mid to late teens, again. No explicit sex - that kind of stuff is more fade to black when it comes up. There are some rather off-colour jokes, however, especially when Speedy is involved. Some bad language. No nudity as far as I recall. Some violence.
Updates: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday.
Book available: Unknown, but I don't think so.

"A Girl and Her Fed (AGAHF) is the story of a nameless Girl who finds that she is being watched by government agents. She and the Fed assigned to watch her form a partnership and attempt to untangle one hell of a knotty conspiracy."

More to come later on! ^_^
