Wish I did but I am poor and ungifted in the art department so I'll trust your description! I'll get your's up tomorrow for the Saturday crowd.
This comic is absolutely amazing! :00 and the dub is so well put together!! You all definitely deserve more subscribers
I don't know if you're looking to do a mutual shout out or not, but my comic and yours are quite similar in genre and the main character if you'd like to check it out for yourself and decide! (no pressure of course!)
I was already subscribed to you and just need to get around to start reading, but I'd love to cross promo with you, as well! (I'm also writing gothic fantasy / horror!)
lol you are so funny. How have I not run into you on the forums before now? Tell me another interesting fact you've learned from your research. It entertains me.
Oh yeah! I hear that's something you know about? (lol I checked your page!) Haha us horndogs have got to stick together.
Well it has assassin in the title so now I'm curious.
Hehe yeah, it's kind of a historically inspired setting I guess... I do more research than I need to because it's interesting and I'm a geek. 
I loved your description! It sounds like you're really into music history? (pun intended). I'm also no stranger to excessive research. Most of the research I do never makes it into my books. It's a......mood.
Well yeah there's an assassin in it. He has an eyepatch and he bottoms. 
I just learned the other day that burning lavender, sage, rosemary was at first though to get rid of the evil "miasma' that floated about and made people ill, but in fact gave off carbolic acid, which kills germs in the air. So, it's not that they were wrong, but they were wrong.
Also, that Spanish Medicine was the most advanced in Europe (and USA) during the time.
If you wanna watch a video about at 1784's Medical Hospital, I got you. It was wildly informative for me.
Thanks 
And yes indeed XD
Also same XD Or it's for some minor detail that no one cares about ... like northern Italian folk music and what traditional songs and pieces were known in the 19th century so I can draw the right melody when a character is asked what their culture sounds like even though I could just draw random notes and literally not a single person would care.
(I do draw random notes sometimes ... a lot actually. But not always. 
)
Well I was already sold when you said assassin but the eyepatch makes it even cooler. XD 
Yes 
for sure. Those are two of my faves
And @jkb4753 
I do dabble in it.
Hi there ^^ sorry for my late reply, work was a bit exhausting that week. I'm gonna check out your novel this sunday when I have peace and time :,D
Yeah, I'd love to watch a video about that. See? I'm about to go down this rabbit hole.
Carbolic acid, huh? That's like a thing I guess. I love it when folk medicine turns out to be right. I took an Irish folklore class this winter and the Professor was VERY clear about "DO NOT TRY THESE AT HOME." Obviously, there's an element of psychomosomatic healing to most folk medicine. Drinking out of a bowl of milk after a ferret will not cure your whooping cough, but it might make you feel better on an emotional level, lol.
I was interested to learn that most folk healers were regular people who would show up to your house. They'd swing by when you weren't feeling well and just talk to you. Regardless of actual healing ability, I was like "damn that sounds like a therapist." Apparently that was a big part of the psychosomatic element, just having somebody to talk to.
Omg if you run into any italian folk songs from 1730-1735 you hit me up because that's my time period right there holy SHIT.
I live for those little details, and I don't think you really believe that "not a single person would care." Readers see that shit and even if they dont know what it means they believe "wow that must be real music notes from a real song," lol. Because I've had it work the opposite way...I make shit up and readers are like "wow is this real?" and im like "I couldnt find a direct historical source but I made an educated guess thats probably correct."
By researching the little things, you're building credibility with your audience. Or something like that.
Because of the nature of my piece (the horndog nature. We'll call it thirst-core) the dumb shit I research is like "uhhhhhh did they have spank paddles in 1737? If they did, what were they made out of? Well, Chestnut wood was the default in new england during that time period. Chestnut trees were felled almost to extinction and now they are a protected species. But Klaus said he brought the trunk of sex toys from Europe? So I have to decide where he bought it in Europe. His family is Saxon from Poland but he wouldn't have gone there after the war because in later chapters he says he went through a "ho phase" so its gonna be anywhere else. In chapter X he mentions being a mercenary for the empire at the end of the war so if he stayed on the imperial side he could have gone back to austria, any german state or russia. But he also mentions renting a chateau outside of paris so maybe it's french? BRB researching french manufacturing to find what wood they would have sourced..."
...for a goddamn paddle.
Yay, awesome! Will read it tomorrow, so I can give a bit more in depth description and then do the shout out right away!
I have a promotional banner for mine... Somewhere already posted in here, but I'll link tomorrow again, once I'm less braindead (just wrote 4 episodes from scratch and revised 18, then scheduled them all 
).
Link me to whatever images you want me to use for yours, if any!
Edit: I'm stupid and didn't link my novel, here.
Oof 
I also need to edit and write 🥲 I’ll DM you the ones I made for promo purposes 
and I’ll add your story to my list to read so I can do the same 
Yo, I feel this on a spiritual level.
@liaroger LISTEN, go down your rabbit holes. SOMEONE WILL CARE. I promise.
I got a truly lovely comment the other day for using the historically correct 'stay' instead of a corset, and even went into a mini rant about what specifically was happening and that Ophelia's clothes were NOT to blame for her breathing problems.
My co-creator and I are the type of people who will see the research vortexes people will do and be even MORE into the story. The people that will care with REALLY care, and the people that don't are, meh. It carries so much more weight than you'd think, even if the people who would appreciate don't show up at first. There is nothing better than someone else as frenzied as you are, pointing to your story and going ''yoooooooo, yas, yas yas!"
Lean into your shit. Do it.
D O. I T!
Also, enjoy:
(I've watched this like 3 times already, it may actually start in the middle, whoops)
