The Ask Jeph thread
jordinyc:
I'm only asking here because this might be a very NON technical question.
Is the QC chat server down, or did I cross a line somewhere that I shouldn't have? I know one guy was banned for using the N word. I sure as heck hope I haven't crossed such a line myself. I generally try not to, and when I come close I always consider who my actions effect.
jordinyc:
Well that answers THAT question :? :-(
All I could find on the ustream page was a FAQ which said if the moderator banned me it's up to him/her to undo. If this has happened, I come with hat in hand. If not, do you (or anyone) know who I might be able to talk to?
Rusty:
Jeph,
what would it take to recieve an ackbar wiht my order? 8-)
Gurren Lagann Sex Drive:
question followed by analysis
are male characters harder to write for and about?
Alot of descriptions of your comic that are online say that the comic focuses on Marten but i have notice that a great majority of the comics focus primarily on faye and the other female supporting cast. Now this is generally to be expected because the female cast basically outnumbers the male cast (persianXspartan style). so yeah i was wondering if writing male characters is harder for you. I know that I have a much easier time writing stories centered around female protagonists.
the resason i ask you this is because i have also noticed a drop (or a rise in this case) in martens character depth, actually i find the the character(s) who have the most depth of character (characters that have complicated personalities) are surprisingly Sven and Pintsize.
which is actually not that surprising given how close to the issues they are with the rest of the cast. Pintsize constantly harasses the female cast as well as the male cast at every opportunity which results in a variety of retorts and comments from other characters this only further developes their relationship with him no matter how incredibly awkward it is. Sven on the other hand is a issues of controversy with the female cast but also as asavior to the female cast. Sven should technically be credited with unlocking Fayes character potential by transcending her personal boundries (and/or) barriers. Sven also hurt her in the end which forced her to take a route that made her strong.
i love this comic very much i read at every chance i get but i feel as if marten has inexplicably lost his girl-anxieties and now just goes with the flow serving as the mediator and soother of issues i would very much like to see his character potential rather than let it stagnate

Jeez.
I think you may have missed the part where Marten should be credited for unlocking Faye's empathy potential, which has made her empathic.
I mean, JEEZ. It's not as if Faye was having any strength issues pre-Sven. It took a guy with the below-the-radar tempered-steel-type resolve like Marten to get her up to, and beyond, dealing with Sven.
I mean, JEEZ! Faye was on the verge of being a train wreck before Marten.
Seriously, there is more to Marten than you may think. EVERYONE thinks he's a pushover. But he's the architect of the entire social circle that is QC.
