A lot more even on sexy/funny and actually on gender. Women are only a slight majority. I also thought it was fun how much people want Theodore action times! That of course, will be coming soon.
So do what you will with this information. I'll keep the content of the bonus a secret until Wednesday! Also, we're planning an amusing bonus Friday involving some of the more unusual responses. Now, I thought I would make some responses to some interesting questions/requests that I gathered from the survey.
Q & A (and requests) from readers
(Bits have been omitted for clarity & brevity)
Q: Um is demitri Russian,italian,other?
A: He is from 'Kallas' which is our Kingfisher world equivalent of Greece.... sort of. (Maybe a bit mixed with the Middle-East proper more, like a Turkey/Greece hybrid.)
Q: Seriously though, I love Vitus's eyelashes. A ridiculous closeup drawing of his ridiculous pretty face would be ~magical~ and I would set it as my desktop or something. ...Which could be an idea. Kingfisher wallpapers/screensavers maybe?
A: I love this idea. I'm definitely considering it, it would be a good addition to the extras page. PS you will have something to enjoy in the bonus, mwahaha.
Q: I would like to see back-story for the progenitors and possibly back-story about Kellgren and/or Theodore. But I would imagine that's more in the main plot and not good for extras. And I've also been curious about your world's vampires which reside in places outside of Glenland. (...)
A: Yes! Eventually more back stories are going to be worked in to the main plot, and I have a few ideas involving some outside vampires. (I.E. our new friends M. Vicier, Marcus and company. :D) The progenitors will have their back stories shown, bare minimum.
Q: (...) Just one request: More sexytimes? Yes?
A: YES! :D It's definitely getting more sexlified in the coming chapter.
Q: (Suyoi's fantastic tarot card idea)
A: YES FOREVER. I love this. Definitely under consideration. :)
Q: What would be really nice is a section with the lore composed and revealed as we go along with the kingfisher universe(no idea if that's the right term for a comic book lore type world thing). You wouldn't have to go into detail right away but once a titbit of information is brought up and then more can be revealed later on about the info source. so that way people wont get spoilers right away for future comic strip thingies and it leaves room for personal speculation with readers. Eventually after some awesome squirmy-speculation-stewing time they would learn from you both either through the comic or Q&A about a fuller answer or fact about the titbit. (...)
A: This idea is amazing. I want to work on this for sure in the coming weeks. I need to revamp (LOL) the 'about' page like nobody's business. I thought a glossary would be in order, for instance. Wonderful idea.
Q: MAKE VITUS AND JACK DO SEXY TIME. Please? :D
A: LOL you guys so crazy. You will have a fun treat in the bonus. :P :P :P
Q: (...) I'm always curious about the religious presence and the politics in the country things are taking place in. (...)
A: Ha what a coincidence! I was just thinking about this recently. I think this ties in well with the last suggestion, there is definitely a place for this in the lore/about section.
Q: (...) I don´t know if is my conection or what, but the kingfisher is hard to find, I don´t really know how I found it, so please do something about that so more people´ll be able to read it and enjoy the story :) (...)
A: YES. Oh dear. I'm not sure if this is referring to the server or to the adverts, but I'm assuming adverts since I kicked my sucky service provider (Rhymes with 'shmoe daddy') to the curb. I could definitely use some help with visibility on the internets. Right now I use Project Wonderful which has been great, but I'm probably just advertising to the same people over and over. (Not a lot of gay and/or horror websites on there at the moment.) If anyone has any suggestions I will love you forever (even more than normal) and be at your beck and call for life.
Q: Would you like a big male-only-orgy on The Kingfisher?And the only avaliable answer: Fuck, yes.
A: Well shoot. Fuck yes then. xD We shall seeeeee!!! ;)
Q: More jack/Tristan /demitri action.I like this triangle. (...)
A: Aw yeah. More of this to come, for sure. :D :D :D
Hey I had so much fun answering these that I've signed the Kingfisher up for a Formspring. See the main page above the comments section, and ask away! I might add a FAQ eventually.
Thanks again to everyone who filled the survey out, and happy 2012! I can't wait to spend another year with you. <3
