I think that any direction that it goes, it'll keep me reading. What i don't quite understand is all the mellow drama on the boards about "QC is ruined forever!" "I now hate QC for this, I'm never going to read it again" and things of that nature. Judging the average interests of the majority of people who watch movies,tv, and read comics not based on superheroes... this is keeping with the interests of that basic demographic. Jeph knows who will like his comic, and knows who wont. But obviously dose not care if you like it or not. If you personally believe that QC is ruined over this, then just go find something else in the vastness of the internet, instead of criticizing someone else's work. Oh another idea, if you don't like the way the plot has panned out, then go write your own comic. :-P

I like the "I defiantly can't wait" part.
I'll probably keep reading, but I find it kind of depressing the way that things are turning out. I have a lot of other webcomics to read, as well, and it used to be "OH MY GOD QC," but now it's "oh, QC, the plot got weird, but OH MY GOD CTRL+ALT+DEL IS AWESOME." It makes me kind of sad that I'm not as into QC anymore.
And I know that Jeph doesn't care what we think. I don't care what he thinks, either. It's interesting, but interesting in a "what the fuck is going on here" sort of way. He's not a bad writer, and I really don't want to bash him or anything, but... I just really hope he has a good twist/storyline coming from this. It's not like they can just get together, and it's not like they can just be "okay ignoring this it didn't happen hahahahhhh." He's got a chance to do something good with this, or he has a chance to turn it into an even deeper "what the fuck is going on here." It's his story, but I just hope it doesn't turn into something really silly. (Hey, I think the whole kiss-and-sex thing was silly, but maybe he has something good coming from it. I don't know yet.)
And yeah, I have other things in the vastness of the internet. There are hundreds of webcomics out there. I just happened to like this one a lot, too.
As for writing my own comic, I do love to write, but I think I'd rather write storylines for a video game company. :-)

So, I still think it could be much worse.

Oh no, no, no. 'Soapy' isn't necessarily bad. The kind you're talking about in your German-style noun is, but, to me, soaps kept drama alive when in primetime everybody wanted to watch Gilligan in his next idiocy. The same elements that people laud Shakespeare for including in his work are present in the daytimes. The problem, really, is that some Daytimes have been running for forty years or more, and so we tend to notice repetition after a bit. The first time "I-love-you-so-much-lets-have-sex-but-oh-wait-you're-my-brother" happened, it was dramatic: it's the tenth or so time it’s used, in pretty much exactly the same way, or with only a far-fetched premise to make it 'different,' that cheapens it.
Given the timeflow in QC, it may take us forty years to get through about five, so no worries on that sort of thing.
The gF:
We've seen Jeph hook up characters in problematic situations before, and we've seen him do nothing but a great job writing it. I'm gonna trust that Jeph knows what he's doing here.

Whats really pissing me off is that everyone seems to be expecting Sven to step backward in his character development, rather then possibly be able to change himself, and actually be something GOOD for Fae. Incase anyone's not noticed, one of the major themes of QC is overcoming issues and learning to live your life, be yourself, and have fun with it. Sven by this point officialy qualifies as a main character. Fck, if Hanners can come as far as she says, why can't Svenn?
Faye: Issues of self confidence.
Sven: Issues with realisticaly being reliable and dependable.
The two both have major personality issues, but they also seem to present each other with support. Fae is probably the first female that Sven has ever interracted with without 100% intent on screwing an dumping her. Sven boasts far more self confidence, and that can be a good thing to rub off on Fae, unlike Marten. I love Marten, but he's too passive and soft to really show Fae a good example of how to gain self confidence in my view.
I'm 100% behind this new turn, and I hope it becomes an education experience for the two characters, and continues to uphold QC's traditional style of character development.
