Maggs here.
I really don't like having to beg for stuff, but once again we find ourselves in a bit of a bind, and have to turn to you guys.
Life has been very tough for me lately and I'm getting to the point where I will not be able to continue drawing Victory Fire without some sort of income. I don't need a lot, but I do need just a little bit of something reasonably regularly. If I can't make VF pay for itself somehow I'm going to have to go and concentrate on doing commission work elsewhere, and that'd be a great shame for us because the comic's just about to start getting good!
To that end, I want to start up a Paypal donation based side project, and I think I've come up with something you guys might like which shouldn't step on Nintendo's toes copyright-wise.
VFQuest is an interactive comic where you direct the action. If you're familiar with the likes of Homestuck and Prequel... well, it won't be much like that
But, I think it will be fun.
The Hero is a newbie member of the Adventurer's Guild. At the start of each Quest, the Hero will be given a mission to complete, and it is up to you, the readers, to decide how and if the Hero succeeds.
You do not have to donate anything to make suggestions! You will be welcome to participate however much or little you like. However, donations will have an important part to play:
There are three possible endings to each VFQuest.
If the donation goal isn't met, we get the Bad End.
If the donation goal is met, we get the Neutral End.
If the donation goal is met AND a certain Item is acquired, we get the Best End.
If donation goals for a Quest are exceeded by significant amounts, we might get extra fun stuff like phone and desktop wallpapers too!
If you'd like your character to star in an episode of VFQuest, you will be able to purchase slots which count towards the Donation goal as follows:
Hero (Save the day, in style.) - $20
The Hero slot comes with a blink animation avatar in your choice of size, for anywhere on the internet you may roam! Repeat purchases of this slot will get you cooler stuff such as page dolls or wallpapers of your character!
Ally (Or comic relief if that's how you roll!) - $10
Jump in anytime to help the hero out! Comes with a static avatar in your choice of size.
Villain (Because swirling black cloaks of evil are a must for any adventure.) - $20
The Villain slot comes with a blink animation avatar in your choice of size, for anywhere on the internet you may roam! Repeat purchases of this slot will get you cooler stuff such as page dolls or wallpapers of your character!
VFQuest is an Alternate Universe and does not directly connect to PMD Victory Fire. However, sometimes a Special Quest may run, which will tie-in to the events happening in Victory Fire. Depending on whether the Special Quest goes well or badly, things may get better or worse for the characters in the main comic. Yup, we're going interactive. ohgodthey'redoomed
The first ever VFQuest will begin on the 10th January.
Hero and Villain roles are already set for this first Quest as it's basically a test-run for the concept, but there will be one Ally slot available! The goal for this round is just $50, and all tips and purchases will be added towards it.
Since we have this lovely shiny subscriber account now, we'll even be able to run polls and ask you what kind of Quest you'd like next!

VF - Twelve Years!
~From the desk of EtherKyu, posted by Silval58!~ Twelve Years. While writing this I suddenly had a strange realization. VictoryFire is now officially older than its own protagonist, Jen! Or is Jen now twelve years older than she was when the comic started? Hmm.. In any case, this calls for a big celebration! So here, have some nice cake from Team Meanies (brought to you by the talented Paige (https://www.deviantart.com/rosesarehip), one of the artists on the Continuation Team!) But that’s not all. A lot has changed since the last anniversary post. So I want to use this occasion to inform fans of the comic ( that is you :] ) about the progress on the Fan Continuation of VictoryFire! First things first: we are still making slow, but steady progress! The Continuation Team achieved solid advancements in researching the material of the comic. But also the writing has seen good progress. Which means we have to begin to focus more on character refs and the general visual art
Eleventh Anniversary!
(Posted by Silval58) ~~written by EtherKyu, lead moderator of the VF Discord Server~~ Yesterday marked Victory Fires eleventh anniversary! Time seems to fly, the 10th one feels like it wasn't that long ago, right? And that also means it has been 4 years now since the comic went into hiatus. That’s why we want to use this occasion to lift the mood a little bit :) As many of you might be aware, the community is working on a fan continuation of VF. Last year we started sharing a first glimpse into the behind the scenes, during our VFAutumn event. And today we want to share a little bit more about that with the rest of the community! Thanks to Projekurai, work on the character references for the comics continuation has progressed! The refs can also be seen in detail here: Projekurai's Stash But that’s not all! Thanks to the work of Snepril and the help of the admins over at lakevalor.net, an important artefact of VFs history has been restored! An interview between her

10 Years of Victory Fire
(Posted by Silval58) ~~This wonderful post was written by our good friend Etherkyu, lead moderator for the VictoryFire Discord! They have been working tirelessly with the team to create an ending for the comic and hosts the current VFCraft minecraft server. Thank you so much for this tribute! ~~ On the 3rd of March 2012, the first page of a Pokemon Fancomic got posted here by two best friends. Today we know that this page would become the start of a long journey. A journey of unforseen events and twists. Some of them tragic. But against all odds, it became what would make this story unique. It became the story of Victory Fire. Your story. Our story. So lets use the occasion to take a step back. Let us look into what happened since that first page got posted ten years ago. It's early 2012. Pokemon Black and White are the newest Pokemon mainline games. The Wii is Nintendos current console. The Nintendo 3DS got released just a year ago. And Grumpy Cat (RIP) will be born in about 1

This is a FANTASTIC idea, seriously. I probably won't be able to donate myself, at least for a while, but the incentive for doing so is awesome!
