OCT 23: An Update to Last Night’s Post: I’m home from work again finally, and I’ve applied a temporary fix by removing all of the sub-chapters from Jahrd’s and Jamet’s stories. Not ideal, but until I have the time to come up with a better solution, it’ll have to do. I’m really not sure how to get the functionality that I wanted before, but if I figure it out – and I’ll be pondering it whenever I get a chance – I’ll put the sub-chapters back. Until then, this is at least functional, if not elegant. Also, as it turns out, the navigation system was broken from the get-go, it’s just that none of my bug testers (including myself) went back far enough to run into one of the sub-chapter divisions where the bug was occurring. Apologies to anyone going back through the archives who might have encountered the wall. I didn’t hear a word about it until I saw it for myself so hopefully it just didn’t actually affect anyone. Again, if you see anything weird, please do let me know as soon as you see it (but it’s also good to check the news posts first to see if I already know…*nudgenudge*). Thanks, guys, and sorry again for the hiccup. This stands as a humble reminder that I’m definitely no programmer.

OCT 22: I think it must have been when I updated the Comic Easel plugin that runs this thing, but navigation within Chapter Three has developed a glitch. Basically it just suddenly refuses to navigate between sub-chapters within Chapter Three and I’m not sure why because they’re set up exactly the same way as sub-chapters in previous chapters and those navigate through just fine…
Was it broken before and I didn’t notice it? I could have sworn it was working… I’m not sure now, but if you saw anything at any point before, let me know. If you happen to be wiser in the ways of Comic Easel than I am and know what my problem is, again, totally let me know. I’d love to fix this and I know I don’t have time for a bug hunt at the moment.

I’ll have to look more into this, but at 10:30PM on a Sunday night where I have to get up at 6:30AM for work… If I can’t find a solution within 24 hours I’ll just have to remove all of the sub-chapters on a temporary basis until I have time again to figure out the reason.

Hey guys! Apparently my comic updated a day late. I looked into it and the culprit seems to have been a scheduling hiccup. It happens occasionally and used to plague the site in ages past. While I have a fix installed and have ever since those dark days of constant scheduling errors, a compatibility error caused it to fail out of the blue yesterday. The patch has been patched again now and things should be working once again.

That said, I have a small request. It’s cool that you guys let me know about stuff like that, first of all. I schedule the majority of my content ahead of time to facilitate my busy, busy life and I don’t really watch the site like a hawk. More like a duck, really. Paddle in, paddle out. If you do see a hiccup happen, rather than booping in an annoyed comment after the fact, it’s super helpful if you comment as soon as you notice it on any post, anywhere,(they’re all moderated these days, so don’t worry if it’s not an appropriate post; I’ll appreciate the heads up regardless) or, if you prefer, I’ve got a handy dandy contact form right over hereย ! It’s also in the sidebar. Just make sure you include a valid address for me to reply to. That way I can get it fixed right off the bat. Thanks much!

Because everyone loves eye candy. Irbeus has been watching Prophecy of the Circle for a good long time now, and I’ve been watching him draw over on DeviantArt for a similar length of time. His style has always amazed me. He’s a real painter, and so many of his works have elicited little “Holy shiiiiiit” utterances from me. Like this one! And this! And this one just makes me happy. So imagine my excitement when last week he sent me this little beauty. ๐Ÿ˜€


I really enjoyed drawing young Jacind’s design, and it’s so amazing to see someone else’s take on it. ๐Ÿ˜€ Beautiful, yeah?

And Irbeus, man! You draw hands better than I do!

I’ve put this one up in Fanworks recently, along with the rest of the collection. <3

All right! After much trial and error and many,ย manyย hiccups, Prophecy of the Circle is finally up and running on brand new hosting. I goofed way more times than I thought I would, but I think everything should be set up and installed correctly this time, I can see my file system when I log in through my web host, and the only casualty of my stupidity was that I accidentally deleted access to my blog that I haven’t updated in a year anyway. I’m debating on whether I want to rescue the old (the files still exist, it’s only the bridge that’s gone) or just start a new one in 2018 or somesuch…

At any rate, welcome to the new site! It’s on much faster and more stable servers, the domain is backed by Cloudflare for speedy loading (apologies if that still causes a few bumps; I’ve noticed that Cloudflare takes a while to sort itself out), and it’s got a few improvements and the return of some old features. It’s also a lot less messy with much less clutter.

First, comments are back! I installed Replyable by Postmatic, so if you subscribe to an email conversation you can post a reply comment straight from your email. All comments are currently moderated before they get posted, fyi, so they might take a few minutes for me to push the “approve” button. Don’t panic if it’s not instantaneous, is all.

The navigation for comics has also been changed, hopefully for the better. Renn’tekk’s Story has been removed from the comic archives themselves and is instead available as a downloadable PDF and as an image gallery in the Archives page. Check under Bonus Stories. ๐Ÿ™‚ The filler art has also been removed as most of it is available on my DeviantArt page and the rest wasn’t worth keeping up. You should be able to navigate through the story without interruption now. I’ve also built in some conditional navigation bars at the bottom of the comics. The old one you’re used to with just Next and Previous, First and Last is what appears on most pages, but in Chapter Three the Next and Previous button will only move you forward or back through whichever story you’re currently on, Jahrd’s or Jamet’s. If you click the new Switch Story button in either direction, it will do just that: jump sideways and either back or forward into the other tale. Try it out and see!

The Cast and Archives pages have been completely remodelled. Archives has thumbnails once again and accordion menus to keep everything compact as this story grows. The Cast page is similar, organized by which chapter the character first appeared in, and it now contains every major to semi-major character in the story.

Fanworks is much the same, although the contact form there has been much improved.

I’ll also note that the shop is open and commission info has been posted (although commissions are currently closed; when they open I’ll post about it).

I’ve only been able to investigate on my and my families iPhones, iPads, and my boyfriend’s Android phone, but the site seems functional in mobile format this time, too.

Let me know if you have any thoughts on the design. A lot of things are fairly easy to tweak, unlike on the previous iteration of the site. ๐Ÿ™‚
