The other day, I was trolling the internet for tidbits to add to my post about the TV series Castle that my wife and I just finished binge-watching.
While on the site TV Tropes I came across the term orphaned series. That is, an abandoned storyline, series, etc.
I'm trying not to have Breakout from Bongolaan fall into this category, which webcomics seem highly susceptible to. Yes, even mine.
I know I haven't posted anything about the webcomic for several months now. My wife's nephew has been residing with us for nearly a year as he out processes from the Army. This is relevant because the room I would use to do my photo shoots is his bedroom. I hope to resume shooting next year, when my nephew-in-law moves out and the Holidays are over.
No, I'm not going to declare this as my New Year's Resolution, since such promises become orphaned in their own way.
But having physical creative space isn't my only issue. I was planning on posting pages of Breakout from Bongolaan on to Tumblr, which seems to be a more picture/comic-friendly site than Blogger. The problem is that I've been using the program Comic Life that converts pictures into a bmp file, which is a format Tumblr won't accept.
So I'm looking into using another comic program.
I've also made a tiny, but I think significant change to this blog. This started out as a Star Wars Legacy Era Campaign journal. That is, I'd post about any Star Wars games and role-playing sessions my friends and I'd play. Unfortunately, the gaming group broke up a while ago.
So I thought I'd expand this blog to cover all types of sci-fi gaming, and decided to change the sub-title to: Ted Henkle's science fiction gaming blog.
If I think of a catchier subtitle I'll change it. But until inspiration hits me, I'll keep this boring, yet practical one.
In the meantime, I'll troll TV Tropes' orphaned webcomics list to make sure Breakout from Bongolaan isn't on it.
That is, if TV Tropes even knows this exists.
Thank you for your continued interest and patience.
