But both Gilda And Meek fans AND myself are both probably different because we almost certainly obsess about different things than other fandoms. That's my hunch.
I think your hunch is right on the money. 😁
Truly, it's really refreshing to read these posts, because it reinforces the fact that despite trying times, all of us here (as Gilda And Meek fans and fellow creatives in our own right) find comfort and excitement in the simple act of creating and reading one another's stories. I think creativity as a whole has historically been the way many troubled people throughout the world managed to weather some of the worst storms. I know it works for me.
Admittedly, I want to apologize for not having finished up "The Humans" yet; when I was re-hired at my job, I was also promoted as well to a more instructor-oriented position, which requires a helluva lot more training. I love it, but MAN does it take a lot outta me. Rest assured I AM reading it, though.
Lastly, and most importantly, I'm honored to be a fan of Gilda And Meek and the Un-Iverse. Very few comics can get the kind of emotional reaction out of me that Gilda and Meek does; the death of President Zyle in "The Pontue Legacy" was a difficult moment to behold, and the way the loss hung over the main protagonists' heads for a good chunk afterwards really sold the emotion that a hero just made the ultimate sacrifice. Also, the scene where Winifred was assaulted for a sensory malfunction struck me as an act of domestic violence, and was also a bit hard to witness. The way you write such scenes is what brings out those raw emotions, and I don't see that in many comics -- definitely not mainstream ones that rely on hackneyed and cliched dialogue or hammy "Don't leave me!" lines.
Again, I'm so excited for all the progress you've made with Gilda And Meek -- rest assured, I AM still reading up whenever I get a chance, it's just that my new position takes a lot out of me.
Also: 42 years in the Making. Now THAT'S commitment. 👍🏾
