From the Author: Westward Discussion Forum

Posted: Monday, July 26, 2010 While you were going about your business, Westward quietly allied itself with Scifi-Online, a portal dedicated to showcasing science fiction and fan fiction projects on the Web. Like Westward, SciFi-Online is in the early stages of getting off the ground, but I'll wager that you can expect more interesting stuff in the future. I'm excited about the chance to link up with other science fiction projects, especially fan fiction, for which I have a special soft-spot. (Westward itself was first conceived nearly a decade ago as Star Trek fanfic.)

Another cool feature of this is that Westward now has a discussion forum on SciFi-Online. If you're interested in discussing Westward and maybe picking up a few juicy tidbits of Westward lore along the way, you're invited to sign up and get yakking! While you're there, check out a few of the other sci-fi forums.

I expect it'll be a bit quiet for a while yet, but your participation helps to keep Westward growing. After all, Rome wasn't built in a day! (Though it was built on the backs of slaves...)

    New around these parts...nice work, keep it up!!
    Hi!

    Love the honesty, I really thought you must have a lot more readers than that, since you have created such a wonderful comic!

    I can't quite remember where or how I tumbled upon Westward, but I am wholly glad I did and look forward to reading every strip to come :)
    Thanks, Osmo! (And a belated thanks to T Dubs as well!)

    I'm thrilled to hear from new readers like you. Westward readership is growing slowly because I don't generally advertise and I'm not much of a social networker. My hope is that people like you will continue to get hooked on the story, and of course to share Westward with your friends. -e
