Wow, I spent nearly four hours one day looking through all your strips! :D The artwork is quite amazing. I'm a bit confused about the storyline, though- if you're "competing" against other artists on DA, how did you agree with each on who would win the rounds? I mean, you haven't lost yet, obviously, so did all of your opponents simply decide that your characters were more powerful than theirs? In any case, keep up the good work- I wanna see how it all ends! :)

Oh, no no. What she enterened in is called an OCT(original character tournament) In this tournement the actual artist is put into the land of fantasy(in this case, the 'Real') which makes this unique to other octs. The way it works is that you get matched up against another artist and draw, animate, or write a story about your character(s) beating or overcoming the other person's character(s) in some way. Both artists create these scenarios which will be entries for the oct. These entries will be judged by the people who run the oct and the one they favor more gets to move on to fight another artist. The entry that lost becomes the untrue scenario, what if he/she won, or in commonly used terms: non-canon. On the other hand, the winner's entry becomes canon which means official; this is what happened. The artists 'battle' each other until there is one winner(in some cases two winners, but that is very rare)

Hopefully I explained what an oct clearly ;)

And in the case of the very first round I had in this tournament, both myself and my opponent were winners who continued on XD Actually happened to miss Queen Gwenevere a second time after that too!

It wasn't special treatment, it was that they had double-forfeits in the first two rounds, and subsequently would be down a player. They picked the best of the losing pieces as a winner to fill that spot. In the first round against me, it was Queen Gwenevere who got that spot and continued, and then the next round it was her opponent, resulting in two instances where she and her opponent both continued on!

Ohhhh! :D That's very cool! Thanks so much for explaining it so thoroughly; it all makes sense now. I'd never heard of OCTs before, you see, so I was terribly confused. All cleared up thanks to you! :)

Ive commented before I think. Your style and the way you put out the story and the characters was deeply enthralling. the creativity was immense and blows me away. the emotion caused me to literally cry, and it kept me at the edge of my seat -but at first I was truly skeptical because of your style. You are a very talented artist, and I have been thoroughly corrected since the first three parts of chapter one. You are worth admiring. I hope I can become similiar to you someday.
