The Order of the Stick: www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript It's a stick figure fnatsy web comic in which the characters abide by silly roleplaying rules. It's hilarious, and I don't even do that kind of gaming. |

One of my faves at the moment is www.friendlyhostility.comIf you like Tim and Gavin, you'd probably like these two! "Normal" (well, it's a comedy, so they're not totally normal lol) guys, who just happen to be in love with each other. They were best friends since childhood and then decided to take a risk. Collin doesn't show much emotion, he likes to pretend that he has no feelings. (though of course he really does.) He's got ultra conservative parents, who hate how he has blue streaks in his hair, and so obviously he doesn't tell them about the fact that he's now dating and living with his best friend. His parents don't like Fox even as a friend. He also has dreams/fantasies of being a Dictator.  Fox is optimistic and usually happy, with a very supportive family. (cool and loving parents, who are often characters in it, his dad has an evil hat lol, an 'uncle' who is a leader of a weird cult, and an older sister) He's very talkative and affectionate. Then there's Bootsie, Collin's willing slave (not sexual slave) who he won in a game of poker while trying to raise money for textbooks. And there's a demon who lived in their fridge. So as you can see, it's a comedy and a bit surreal, but it's still very very 'real' and the author is not afraid of being serious sometimes. And it's not manga. If you read it from the start, it starts off with Fox's parents just after his older sister was born. And so you see little Collin and little Fox as 8 year olds hehe. so cute. And now is a major major moment that we've all been waiting for... Collin's mum has found out. |

I also read Unicorn Jelly (http://www.unicornjelly.com), but I don't enjoy it, and this is in no way a recommendation. Reading it is like poking at a toothache. It has really horrible ugly amateurish art, a stupid story, unbearable characters, sloppy world-building, ghastly dialogue, fluffy paganism and it goes on... and on... and on... And its "Creatrix" has an ego the size of the planet. And it's notorious for people starting reading and going "ew, this suck... [click]... this sucks... [click]" and losing hours of their life as the draining feeling of despair takes over them.
It's about a jelly thing that gets mystical healing powers when a unicorn urinates on it. And understanding brave Wiccan folk and an evil Church. And has such wonders as a child getting brain damaged and becoming Special!happy!naked!girl, having the brain damaged reversed and her adopted mother crying because she "misses her special little girl". I mean, what? Hey, hon, don't take it personally, but I liked you better with brain damage?
