I’m delighted at news from Selina Locke that the Girly Comic website is back in business. Why has the site been away? Selina explains that the demands of publishing and publicising the print version and dealing with convention appearances they simply could not keep up the amount of work involved in regular posting on the site: “Our love of holding new issues in our hands lured us back into the print game in 2008/9, and it wasn’t possible to sustain the webcomic at the same time. Then our websites suffered a debilitating hacker attack in late 2009. It’s taken us several months, and a lot of help from our friend Greg McElhatton to get the sites back up and running. However, now we’re back and we plan on staying! Economic and personal circumstances have made us take a long hard look at how Factor Fiction operates, and we’ve decided that for the moment the future of The Girly Comic is here in the digital world.” I for one am glad to hear about a return to regular posting on the Girly Comic site and I’m sure a lot of you will be too; those of you who haven’t checked it out before should pay them a visit.
