Depressis,

I didn't realize that you had finished your photonovel!  I'll definitely check out the conclusion this week-end and will post comments as soon as I can.

In Rem,

I am very saddened to hear you will not be continuing K.O.E.  Heck, you can't even go back and see the older chapters, as the links to the pics are all broken. 

Look, I certainly understand where you're coming from.  I agree with your sentiments - it's no fun making PN's when there are no comments.  In fact, it's downright depressing and frustrating.

I have done my best to try to champion photonovels here and on the other popular customizing forums and have even started discussion threads on that very topic - the dwindling interest in PN's from the community at large.

I have seen some great photonovels vanish quickly off the radar with only a miniscule amount of feedback.  It's saddening and it has been a contributing factor to why I haven't been working on my own material - fear that it won't find an audience.

Why go through the massive effort if there isn't an audience and if there isn't some appreciation.

That said, and I don't mean to contradict or critize you, I always thought that your PN's were pretty popular.  Your last update was many months ago and seemed to get a fair amount of chatter and commentary (not as much as I think you deserve, but certainly more than a few instances I have seen lately.)

I am puzzled why more people don't comment on these unique and lovely works of art.  It seems like something the customizing and collecting community should really get behind as a whole, not just a small fragment of people.  I dont' know why there are so many dedicated and prolific customizers and active members of the forum who never (and I mean NEVER) bother to comment in the PN section. 

I am far from perfect, but I usually try to do my best to give everyone feedback, though it isn't often as detailed as I would like.

But, speaking as a fan, I would love, love, LOVE to see another chapter of K.O.E. and do hope that you pick up the story at some point.  I would suggest posting it to as many sites as possible, though often that only helps to a small degree.  K.O.E. was one of the best stories I've ever seen and I know that it was loved by everyone who read it.

I still live in hope that more and more people (not less and less) will enjoy and participate actively in these stories.

So, let's keep the dream alive folks!!!  SUPPORT PHOTONOVELS, damnit!!!!

Depressis,

I think you should make separate threads for your new additions to your photonovel, or at the very least add the new material to the bottom of the existing thread instead of editing the original post and adding it on there.

I think it makes it hard to find the new material and also prevents us from noticing the time stamp on the new material (which also has the effect of not bumping the thread to the top).

As a result, it is hard to know exactly when there is new stuff and it's just not easy to find it.

Since your photonovel is already long, it just makes it hard when you have to scroll through so many old pics to find your new stuff.

Good luck. I have enjoyed your story very much, but I find it hard to keep up in this fashion.  I recommend restructing your posts.

Guys,

This is what I was talking about with my "save the forum" thread last month about the distressing lack of comments and feedback in the photonovel section.

Brent has created an EXCEPTIONAL photonovel with awesome customs, incredible dioramas and a wonderfully original story and yet he can't seem to get any love from the community.

Please, I urge all of you to get yourselves to the PN forum and keep the chatter going, not only for Brent but for all the talented folks that pour their blood, sweat and tears into these delightful entertainments.

I'll be honest - it's the total lack of support that makes me seriously consider whether or not I should bother to go back to making my own photonovels. 

Brent and the rest deserve far better.

FINDSWOMAN!!

Wow, so great to see some truly INSPIRING and AMAZING new pieces from you!

These are wonderful!  As always, your softgoods are lovely and beautifully made.

And the Gand is exceedingly imaginative.

Wow!  Some of your best work ever (and that's saying quite a lot!)

Well done!
