Oh god guys, you have no idea what a week it has been. *Laughs* I mean, no one died or anything, but a million little annoying things decided to take up a boatload of my time (Thus is why the comic is the only dang thing I finished this week), the latest of which was chipping my car out of a foot of solid ice. … Okay, maybe not a foot. More like four inches. Or… maybe more like a hefty crust. But I couldn’t open my doors, okay? And yet, by some miracle, the comic update is done. I don’t get credit for this one folks. Credit goes to the Comic Gods. You know… the ones that sent the giant ice storm that meant my shift ended up being cut because the trucks couldn’t make it. Um… yay? The ice is pretty though! Maybe I’ll post a few photos.

In regards to the comic… well, folks, sorry about the attack of the talking heads. I tried to cram a liiittle too much into too small a space. Aaaand I kind of cheated, and modded an old picture of my online persona until it looked like Faith for that last word-bubble. Poor Faith… she’s just not any good at this werewolf business. She’s instinctually retarded, her senses aren’t quite right yet, and she looks funny. …Sounds kind of like Highschool, now that I think about it.

Also… yay for werewolf snaggle-derp-fangs. I figure, it’s better to have the pathogen as an injection rather than a saliva-borne virus like rabies. You know, that way so werewolves aren’t dribbling liquid lycanthropy everywhere. In mythology, I’ve yet to come across werewolves with notable snagglefangs while in wolf form, but there are accounts of long, pointy canines while in human form. Oddly enough, it seems a more common trait to indicate a creature is a werewolf (Or witch in animal form) instead of a wolf is the lack of a tail… but darnit, I like tails. For more info on such things, you may want to pick up Sabine Baring-Goulds’s Book of Werewolves.

Speaking of folklore, on a non-werewolf note… remember, tomorrow’s Groundhog Day. Funny thing though… the original version of the holiday used hedgehogs, not groundhogs. However, when the holiday, a mixture of Christanity’s Candlemas and Pagan Imbolc traditions, came to America, there were no hedgehogs to use to divine the weather… so instead, groundhogs are the weather-divining animal in America.

Anyway, I’ve rambled long enough, so, to everyone else who has had to deal with death ice you have my sympathies… and I hope that you guys have a great week!

Eldritch updates on Wednesdays!

Disclaimer: READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING

Eldritch is for Mature audiences, will contain violence and mild nudity, as well as adult situations, themes, and language. Some pages will be marked as such on sites such as Deviantart and may be unavailable to minors.

Eldritch, in part or in whole is not to be distributed without The author’s (Nashoba Hostina) express permission. The only places where this comic will be found in its entirety will be its blog: [link] or here on my deviantart page.

The author has everything planned out, and if something does not immediately make sense, it will later. If there are questions about what will happen, answers will not be given until the issues come up in the natural course of the plot. Plot advancement will be slow at times, and peppered with Psudoscience that does not advance the story much. These are not “Filler.” These are part of how life goes in this comic.

This is the Author’s story. If something is “Wrong” it is because the author intended it to be so, and thus, it is in fact, “Correct.” The author has done a lot of work and research and has a lot scripted and planned (Please give her the benefit of the doubt here, she does know what she’s doing). This means that ‘requested storylines’ and suggestions have no place in this comic. This also means, please do not share related ideas with her, or send her previews to your own works.

In short, do NOT send requests, share ideas with, or make suggestions to, the author.

However, should you IGNORE what is written above and insist on making requests, suggestions or sharing ideas in ANY WAY WHATSOEVER regarding this comic BE AWARE that in doing so you are GIVING the artist this idea, and should she already have a similar aspect to the comic already planned, or should she take the suggestion, you will NOT be compensated. (Sorry to have to add this since the last book guys, but some people seriously do not listen, and I don’t want someone to get mad at me later on).

While the specifics of Eldritch are © Nashoba Hostina, Regarding fanart, fanfiction and such: The author is always flattered when folks take the time to draw a picture of one of her characters for her. However, if you choose to do fanart, please, make it clear that the characters, world, etcetera are Nashoba Hostina’s creation, and kindly link back here, or to the comic’s blog. Then, whenever you post Fanart of Eldritch, please, please let the artist know! Under no circumstances should fanart of Eldritch be used for financial or material gain. No fanmade work is ever to be considered canon.

As a courtesy to your fellow readers, also, please do not make predictions about what will happen in the comments section of these pages. Saying you think you know what may happen is fine, but actually stating what you think will happen is not. Because if you happen to be right, that means you’re spoiling the other readers, and no one likes That Spoiler Guy. In a similar vein… be nice to one another, okay guys? Please?

The author sadly must have a day job, and since it takes supplies and LOTS of time to make this, cannot afford to do art all the time. Thus, Eldritch is done on the author’s free time, which means page quality may vary. Also, updates may be missed if the author has a busy week. She apologizes for the inconvenience.

This disclaimer and all prior forms of it are subject to retroactive change.

And, finally… if you don’t like it, don’t read it! No one’s forcing you to look at this :3 Go outside and play or something!


Thank you for reading!

Are you not quite Human? That's okay, that means you're a lot like the rest of us. So, if you're one of the Eldritch Folk, here's a stamp for you: [link]
