I have been very productive recently.

And by 'very productive,' I mean I have listened to the entire first season of The Magnus Archives, and re-read Keychain of Creation. Which is a certain kind of productivity.

Though now I'm feeling kinda maudlin about Keychain. Which happens every time I re-read it. It was a such a cool comic, but the author had to go on hiatus, and as time passes it becomes less and less likely it will ever update. And while a lot of people seemed to like it, there isn't much of a fandom (or not much of a fandom now).

I'm thinking of trying to maybe fix the lack of fandom thing. Try and make some more fanworks for it. I'm also planning on requesting and offering it for Chocolate Box, in the hopes of luring more people. Plus-- I've felt weird about the idea of making fic for it, in the past, because what if the author comes back, and feels weird about people doing fic? But it's been a long enough time I can be confident that what's there is all there will be, so it feels less strange to write a fic about, for example, how I think Misho and Marena met.

Anyway, on the note of possible luring people into the fandoms: Do you like webcomics with a fun mix of action and humour, engaging characters with surprisingly sad backstories, and can cope with a story that got abandoned partway though? Do you like over the top fantasy settings, where people can turn into foxes, parry fire with smoke and jump through the panels of the comic itself? Do you, perhaps, specifically like Exalted? Then you might like Keychain of Creation.

(Please, come cry about Misho with me. And Marena. And Secret. And Ten Winds. Come cry about all of them with me.)

The only kind of productivity that matters!

Keychain of Creation is/was a wonderful comic. It's a shame that it went how webcomics are wont to go. (I haven't read it in a while so if you want me to do more than ooh and aah at the bits you reminded me of I'll have to go re-read it. But I remember enjoying it a lot, esp if you like Exalted; some of the jokes about mechanics and worldbuilding are priceless)

My friends hanasaseru and nevanna are both quite into the Magnus Archives! If you're looking for more fans on DW.

The jokes were so good! ("LOOK, IT'S THE KUKLA!" "...but what if it is the kukla next time.")

I also really love the characters. When I read it the first time, there was a bunch of subtextual stuff that flew over my head, that I actually got this time. The characters are... surprisingly deep, for a stick figure webcomic?

Thank you for the recommendation! I might check their blogs out when I've finished the podcast.
