Actually, I quite enjoyed Sniff Test for a change, although my old school chemistry teacher would have thrown a major fit if he’d spotted anyone sniffing an unknown chemical that way….
But I was getting a bit worried about Daphne; her output has been very regular over many many years, and if there has been any slippage she’s invariably posted an update online., so when it got to Sunday without anything I was getting very concerned about her. I hope whatever her current complications are they get resolved in as good a way as they possibly can.
And can I put on record my immense respect for her (and her team). She has built up an impressive business in a very difficult area, regularly turning out great quality work (not a trivial challenge, not least when the work goes through the hands of multiple artists all with different rates of work!), frequently developing into new areas – and surviving some ELEs en route: credit card companies refusing to take her business, COVID, and major outbreaks of piracy (I can’t be the only one who recollects the outbreak of of siderodromophilia(!) in the early part of this decade: I remember spotting over 250 instances of MCT videos appearing on one site in one year without even looking very hard…..)
And as for The Inheritance : I’m in the big queue who would love it to come out more often but I really do like the artistic style so if the price paid is that it only comes out once a year or so I’ll suck it up. At least it means that I can enjoyably reread it from the beginning each time.
PS: I hope Octavia Moon is also getting a well-deserved break (if she needs one) whilst SJI is on temporary hiatus. Of course, if she is getting bored then I would like to put on record how much I’ve enjoyed her stories as something of a change of pace….
