This year for me is all about anniversaries and This week is no exception, as I celebrated one solid year of my erotica webcomic: STARSLAM! Yes, I launched the comics on Feb 14th of last year and we passed the one year mark this weekend.
I'm quite proud of the comic and the attention it has got. I have a nice group of faithful readers that check it out every Monday when it goes live and it feels great that they keep me in mind. Its also a story that I am very proud of. When I did initial research on doing an erotica comic, a lot of the stuff I read just wasn't appealing. It was just too farcical and even at most times abusive and scary. So I wanted to create a story that promoted a sex positive outlook and have a heroine as the star. She's not a simple slut, serving the purposes of the story, but someone who is discovering themselves and their sexuality. Its something we ALL go through in life and we get to observe her journey. Its been fun, erotic, funny and now with what is currently going on in the comic, quite deadly. She's got a lot of fighting coming up and its really going to test her abilities. She's also going to learn even more about herself and her motivations as a superhero when it comes to her actions. She's learning how to be herself, in a sense. Its a grand journey.
As I type this, I just posted page/strip #53. This weekend, I inked page #97. I got about 20-25 more pages to go and the first book (or main first story) is complete and will be collected into a tradebook with expanded sex scenes and more. I do have plans for even more stories for these characters and I hope I get to tell them one day. Its a fun world to play in, thats for sure! I hope you are enjoying reading it as much as I am enjoying creating it.
The time is right to make and enjoy good erotica. When books like "50 Shades of Grey" can top best seller lists, we know that its a good time. Its a matter well beyond the "sex sells" idea. There is passion in all forms of media, even pornography. Good pornography exists if you want to search for it. I am glad to be contributing to the cause and promote a sex positive outlook on the world.
The strip following is small and I know it will take time to build and make more and more people fall in love with the story and characters. But the time will come. I know it will. Meanwhile, I'm continuing to make the best work I can with it. And I hope you enjoy the journey.
If you haven't read it yet, and are over 18, please go check it out right HERE -- Its free to read and I know you will find something in it to enjoy. Even if you aren't into pornography, just realize that it is based upon something we all deal with: finding ourselves.
Thanks to all who come back to read it each week. Spread the word! Keep the comic alive! And congratulations on one year of hard work, Starslam. Lets keep at it and keep rockin!
Cheers, T
