Now Where Am I Supposed to Get My Ichor From?

Among the creators that I admire, drifting gallantly in that hallowed constellation, is Kris Straub, creator of the webcomics Starslip, chainsawsuit, and F Chords (on hiatus).

Those are all well and good, but what really had me excited was his horror microfiction community site, Ichor Falls. In fact, I took an idea I’d had involving ears and the crud therein and wrote it up in such a way that it would fit into the site’s universe… only to find that the “Submit a Story” link was hopelessly broken. And now the site’s gone entirely, replaced by an “Account Suspended” message.

Frustrating! Is this a result of the same issue that took down webcomics.com?

Anyway, in the meantime my story will have to languish on DeviantArt (where, as the work of a deviant, it surely belongs). I hope Kris will reinvest in Ichor Falls soon; meanwhile, I support the guy and his desire to bust out hilarious comics all the time instead of web design or some other, less-fulfilling job. So read his comics, and then buy them. :)

Update: Ichor Falls is back online, but I still can’t submit stories. Perhaps someday “Earwax” will have a proper home (other than lodged in your ear canal, I mean).
