Discontinued

Hey everyone!

As you can tell from the subject heading, this isn't very good news. This was also an extremely hard decision for us to make as well, however, due to things that have come to our attention since revamping Avalon from its earlier stages... we've found this to be a necessary step at this point.

To explain, since Rae has been working on Overlord of Ravenfell many fans have moved to reading that comic, and a lot of them have mentioned meeting Rachel and receiving Avalon art at conventions that she has not been to. This is upsetting for us both, as I have had my characters Zakius and Tei claimed by others as well. Things like this had happened before, but we had just thought it was people using the characters for original stories. To actually have someone claiming to be Rae, and to have them selling 'Avalon' art that they either traced, commissioned, or received as a gift and then resold has just knocked out the last of what drive we had to continued this project.

We do apologize, since we had planned on continuing with this. We will eventually put up a summary for you all so that you know what was supposed to happen and how it ends. If there were any questions that you had regarding the characters and their backgrounds that we don't answer with that, feel free to email one of us at either raeraesama@htomail.com or sugamisan@hotmail.com

Thank you for your understanding! <3

I can't believe it! Pretending to be Rae at conventions and selling fake artwork? Thats....that's almost unimaginable!

I'm sad that you two have decided to discontinue but can understand why. I'll miss Avalon....will the pages still be up or will they be taken down (the original and the revamp?)?

(And are you really going to put a summary up? *that would make it better, but also unexpected*)

We do plan on putting one up, I just have to kick Rae enough to get it done. XD

As far as I know right now, we will be keeping the pages up for quite a while. What I may end up doing is putting all the files in a .zip when the summary is done, and having it available for download from the community or some such for anyone that's interested.

And as for the people pretending to be Rae, we have a good idea of who it was and it just makes it worse. :/ But we're not going to call them out, since the drama caused by doing so wouldn't be worth it. I just hope they're satisfied with their few minutes of fame pretending to be someone else. We're going to start putting up a list of Conventions Rae's going to be at, so hopefully this doesn't happen again.

This is horrible!!!

As always, us fans end up paying for what a few idiots have done... plagiarism is such a terrible thing, and it goes to show just how SAD some people's lives are, having to use other people's work just to get attention...

Avalon is and will always be my favorite webcomic.
