Hi. First I'd like to say I'm kind of both sad and happy that we reached the end of Crash 'n' Burn. I had quite mixed feelings about it at first as I find the cliché of hate/lust relationships quite dubious, but in the end I find the evolution of their relation quite natural and I really love how the story does *not* focus solely on Kyle/Tyler's sexual relationship but rather on the way their relationship evolves as a whole and how they evolve themselves. Plus it tackles some issues we don't see much often (especially domestic violence). It's really hard to find such a comic, so thank you. :D
Now I have a few questions:
* First, you mentioned you were willing to write sequels to CnB and to begin with, a 22 pages long short comic. As this is too short to make up a full-lenght book, I was wondering if you'd have any plans for a collection of such short stories in a single book.
* Second, I figured that even self-published books could have an ISBN so I was wondering why CnB does not have any.
(P.S.: If you ever want to translate CnB in French, I can help both as a translator and as a proofreader—a volunteer one, that is.)
Hi, thanks for enjoying it! It is a very old story, but close to my heart still.
About your questions: I will consider a collection of short stories if the demand is there and the material complete. Until then, I will likely print and sell short comic as they are completed. This is purely for shipping reasons (heavy books cost a lot to ship) and I need to earn money while drawing the next one.
Secondly: I don't have ISBNs, because it costs money, and I am self-published. I do everything myself, so I don;t know how to register this or what benefit it would have.
Thanks for offering to help with the french version, I usually have translated digital versions. ^^ Might hit you up when the time comes.
Thank you for the answers. :)
I didn't realize ISBNs cost money. :O (It makes sense though.) Being part of the staff of a student comic books library myself, I find it very practical and I think it's also really useful if you want to sell them through bookshops, but if it is small homemade production I understand it can be a burden for you if it is costly to get one in your country.
you mentioned a short comic coming in march, but that you wont be releasing it on tapas because of nsfw content rules. will you be posting a reminder/advert when it becomes available in march?
Absolutely! I think a lot of people did not read the description, so I will always put alerts up here to remind everyone. :) I do want to keep working on it in general, just can't make any defined promises other than the NSFW comic.
After investigating, I know that Crash 'n' Burn has two volumes in stores in another language, and that volume 1 has recently come out in English (I will buy it when I have money to allow me the money sent, because I want it physical), and volume 2 in English it will come out in the future.
I love your deviantart (Especially deviantart), twitter, tumblr, and mikio.art.
(Only stalk you in what you legally allow without spam)
Are there chances that there will be a Crash 'n' Burn volume 3 in the future?
I really love Crash 'n' Burn !
(I've even heard the music you recommend on tumblr, and the playslist of your characters, you and they have a good musical taste)
Hi! A volume 3 is not planned, however, I want to draw short stories from their past that completes some of their backstories instead. (and a smut story too)
