Website is UP!! Chapter 1 is (finally) complete!
🕑 Added 2022-06-12 23:04:12 +0000 UTCIt feels SO! GOOD!! to finally share this website! Here's a link to the very beginning, if you'd like to start from page one (technically, page zero)!
I'm officially announcing the website tomorrow, but feel free to share widely today if you'd like; with the drowning out of messages on social media these days, I could use your amplification! You can send people to https://elephant.town, or just recommend my Twitter or Instagram pages.
I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was working to interpret the clunky GIF at the end of Chapter 1 into four separate pages, since the final book won't be able to uh, y'know, "do" GIFs. (Shit, it would be SO FUN to make pop-up animations in the real book, though...)
They last four pages are up on the site now if you'd like to read from the beginning, but here's a peek at what I came up with:



... and still ending with an edit of the old GIF:

Mostly I just wanted to start a habit of Kris drooling in her sleep and fwumping out of bed.
Thanks in advance for sharing this comic with people if you choose to! And thanks for your patience getting this site together. :) It'll be SO much more enjoyable to re-read it all in order over there.
I'm so lucky to have had y'all along for the ride these last two years. Now it'll be nose to the grindstone until all 600 (?!?!?) pages are done...
OH! And if you're at TCAF next weekend and you see me, come say hello! I'm driving to Toronto tomorrow (heck of a way to spend your website launch day, right?) and will be working at RAID until the show. I can't wait to be among the loonies & toonies again. <3
Miranda's next pages will be up soon!

Woot! The reference in today's GWS was the first I heard of this! I told my spouse about the BOGO joke, and our dialogue was something like: Spouse: Oh, is -that- what it means? Me: Yeah, but...why would anyone use the acronym when they mean "buy one, get one"? Isn't it clearer to just spell it out? Spouse: They do! I get circulars with BOGO on them all the time! I just had no idea what they meant until now! We'd make the jokes about having a dishwasher too (spouse was the dishwasher!) until we moved to our current place five years ago, which came with a dishwasher!

I'm really happy about this.

Hi! I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but at least for me (on a PC, using Firefox as my browser), the About, Cast and Archive pages show up with dark grey text on a dark purple background. This seems like the same issue John and others had above but I just navigated to the website for the first time right now. Let me know if I can provide any other info that would be useful in diagnosing!

Wahooooo!

Josh & Swati, thank you SO much. My web fellow tore apart something last-minute last night and I'm guessing that's what broke the Cast & About pages. I can't launch with the pages like that, so I really appreciate the heads-up!

Same issue here, but Chrome on Android. It's otherwise beautiful!!
Swati Shrestha
Same for me - I am using Chrome on Mac and the Cast page is almost impossible to read. It does work on Safari on iPhone though, where I first saw it

Hi! At least for me on Chrome on a Mac, the text on pages like the About and Cast pages shows up as black on dark-gray, and is pretty unreadable. :^( I don't seem to be add a screenshot here, but if you don't see the same thing, and if it would help to have one, lemme know how to get you one. Browser string, in case that helps: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/102.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

You aren't? 🥹🥳
Danielle Corsetto
I was feeling the same way, but the app was surprisingly easy and (even though I got one anyway) you're no longer required to have a test!
Danielle Corsetto
Thank you! And hey, thanks for sharing it, you sweetie!

An RSS feed. Well done. Must go back to the beginning and read through again.

I can see the change on my end. All good now.
Drazi
Mmm, Toronto. I miss Canada, but don't want to deal with the COVID test and ArriveCan. Have a good trip, wave as you drive by, etc. 👋
Danielle Corsetto
Thank you SO much, I think I changed it!
Danielle Corsetto
Crazy, right?? Thanks David, I'm glad you've been here for it! :)
Andy Ihnatko
Outstanding!!! Congratulations!

Just shared it with my friends on Discord, and the preview for the site says "This is the site description." in case you weren't aware that needed to be changed.

Omigosh, has it really been two years? Congrats, Danielle! I’m so grateful to be present for the ongoing unfolding of your talent!
