Thanks for following me over from Darken!

Exciting! I'm hooked already. :D
Wow, it's up! It's launched! I can't believe we got here already! :)
I can't wait to read Widdershins. Hopefully it's as good as (or even better than) Darken :D
Looking good so far :) I really loved Darken and I'm sure I'll love this too! Will you be linking to it via piperka so we can get updates ? ^-^
I guess! It was never me that linked Darken on it in the first place, so it may pop up without my knowledge anyway ;)
Can't wait for Monday!
this is going to be awesome.
Looking forward to meeting the characters! (Though how do I update my font set? The welcome post looks a bit blurry)
We're using a Web font - what browser are you using?
A bit of Firefox or Chrome should wash the blurriness right out!
In seriousness, let me know and I will look into it.
Iim maybe an idiot but i can't seem to find what happened to characters from darken =)
Haha, no worries- Check the main Darken page [http://darkencomic.com/](http://darkencomic.com/ "http://darkencomic.com/") and scroll down til into the newspost til you see Gort :)
Nevermind, found it ^^
Anyway sorry for double posting but i hope this comic is going to be as much fun as darken =)
(when did the 2nd chapter start? wanna know how long exacly ive been reading it ^^)
Post all you like, I love it :)
Gosh, the second chapter of Darken? That'd be March 2004, have you been reading that long?
Yep. 2004 huh? How time flies by...

Damnit. Now i fell very old (despite only 21 years...) ^^
Would just like to say, the best of luck to your new comic after the completion of a Web-Epic. ^n-n^
Not my usual cup of tea shot but am more then willing to read knowing your skill already. :3
Widdershins WOOOOOOT! I can FEEL that this is going to be great :D.I'll make sure to remain untill the end of the ride.
Did it change my avatar yet? Hrmm..
It did but I am posting from my Twitter account someone! Well alright then
Woah your comments looks so different with javascript on. Very suave. What does this +Image thing do? Uh oh...
Laura set up a different comments system which is all flashier and awesome! I'm sure the image feature will never be abused in the slightest :V Kinda wish it did gifs, that could be terrible/amazing.
I just wish I could sort out the loading, there's a real gap for me when I click on the comments link before Disqus loads! Is anyone else getting that?
Awesome new website, and good luck on making the new comic will be at least as good as Darken was (which was great ;-) ).
Good luck - love the new site.
Wow. So I just got into your comic a week ago and it has been a blast seeing Widdershins grow from humble beginnings to what seems to be a fairly successful labor of love. Too bad I caught up and have to wait but I enjoyed the marathon nonetheless. Congrats!
I was wondering, have you ever read the book Widdershins? It's the first in a series of Victorian London - era fantasy romances, they're really good! Very different from this comic though, so I'll try my best to not compare them. ^^
Gee. Five years... And i'm afraid we're approaching the end.
I just came to see when this started as well and it's been 5.5 years. I only joined up at the end of Darken, but i can't believe i've been following this for this long... and it's so good :D
guess you misjudged that one huh? lol
Nah - we're just approaching it asymptotically as a limit.
Hello good Madam, As i just found your page to day this a.d.1/4/18. I could-not possibly have follow your work over from Darken. Which-is all my own fault, and a missed opportunity --- please continue your good work and story
I followed you from Gocomics. Just found this comic and love it. I can't believe I've been missing it all this time. Do the books have the older scripts?
And so it begins... This is my sixth or seventh reread since I first discovered the comic in January 2020 (not counting individual chapter rereads) and so I figure this time around to change things up a little I will try to think of something to comment on every page. I can't promise profundity and if these get to be annoying I'll happily switch over to jotting things down in a notebook instead but I thought it'd be a fun way to show my appreciation for this comic that has become such a dear friend of mine. (I will try to avoid spoilers out of courtesy for the archive trawlers)
Just starting a third re-read myself. This comic covers so much ground (something I do appreciate about it), it can be refreshing to review. Also helps keep track of possible hints, and past but still relevant plot points.
I just discovered this webcomic and am gonna be doing my first read through now, I'm excited to see your thoughts as I do.
