I cannot contain my excitement! How thrilling! If about 50 of you vote for A Distant Soil, we make it into the TOP 100 WEBCOMICS! After that, I want world peace.
You may vote once a day, and I wish you would.

A Distant Soil by Colleen Doran Site Design by NewMoon ∞ OldSoul Designs.
The site traffic has gone up a lot lately, and I have been trying to figure out why more people are stopping to read the series when they land on the home page then they did in the past.
I’m guessing the later pages are more attractive than the early pages: better drawing, more character interaction, and more fantastical sets and costumes. People are more likely to go back and give the series a read than if they just land on an earlier page which shows people running around an alley.
Just a theory. All I know is that a very high percentage of people who see one page go on to read more.
I am very appreciative!
Well, you’ve also finally passed all the “set up” stuff and are really into the space opera plot.
Or maybe it’s just that the word is getting around that you ARE putting the whole thing on the web, and people are giving it a try… and liking it.
Hard to say. We have considerably more online readers than we have book sales. I guess a good deal of them are new to the project.
The good thing is that even if many of them are from overseas and unlikely to buy the books, their web traffic helps fund the project.
I had little luck getting paid for my foreign editions, so I am actually better off giving A Distant Soil away online and raising revenue from advertising.
I truly appreciate that people here are coming to read it instead of reading pirated editions. Pirating kills my ability to raise money to finance the final chapter.
Is it just me, or has ADS disappeared from the Top 100 listings?
It’s now at 99.
It’s back now — at 97 — it had vanished completely a little while ago, I did a search and everything. Perhaps it disappears as it changes position or something.
But — hey! — Top 100!! Yay!
WORLD PEACE! WORLD PEACE!
OMG! We’re back down to 99 again! The suspense! The suspense!
97 after my last vote!
oooh! I can’t stand it! SQUEE!
It’s ridiculous how much I am enjoying this! LOL!
once again, Liana’s desire to remain innocent comes around. “Mary had a little lamb little lamb little lamb…”
wooo! 95!!
It is up to 93 after my last vote!
91 — now if we can just get another 39,000 people to vote, ADS wins!
That’s Allan, always looking at the positive side.
