Nashi and I were talking and we realized...

The Jak fandom is dying. All the big names out there are either consumed with actual life or jumping ship.

Eno, while keeping up JakXcomic, has apparently dropped TnT and has moved to TMNT

Kei, while also sticking with JakXcomic when she can, has moved her chibis to KH

Queenie has been eaten by art school, but maybe she's come back to us

Demyrie has been swallowed by real life

Natalie79 does her own characters now, when she even posts, so its a safe bet she's busy with RL

Weilla, on the writing front, is off to Germany to hang and study which is great (and apparently has fallen in love with WoW)

Edit: VA--I can't believe I forgot her! Silly Blu--VA's off in life and spiderman, bless her heart

There's others, I know, that have been gone for longer and...God, it depresses me. I love this fandom and apparently I came too late. Its already wilting by the time I've really hit my peak and can really start expressing myself in it.

...and you know what the weirdest thing is? Those are all girls. Every one of them. There are NO vocal males in the Jak fandom. 'Parently, every guy that's picked up the game either royally sucked at art or writing or were too distracted by the boobs and guns and racing to care about the gapping plot holes ND left us to fix.

...ugh.

So yeah. If any Jaktards are out there reading this? Leave a comment. Let me know you're still out there. This is kinda scaring me that in maybe the next couple months there might just be me and the Brainclones.

How About A Magic Trick?
::A True Genius Can Use A Pencil In More Ways Than One::
I used to be all hardcore into the Jak fandom, then I realized that's all I got attention for. I know I personally stopped drawing jak because it infurritates me to this day that a piece of fan art I shat out in twenty minutes got more attention than the piece of original art I slaved over for hours.

That's just me though. I think over all, people are falling out of the fandom because its over. There hasn't been proof of a new jak tittle in a long time, and people are just moving on. Nothing against the games though.

I'm in over my head...
I've noticed the same thing. Trying to pick up my stories a bit at a time ^^ haven't draw Jak in forever, but that doesn't mean I haven't thought about him and the awesome series. >D
:snuggles Damas:

Shoot first, ask questions later... cuz the Dead are sooo much more fun to talk to



Yush!

I am here! I never even played the games until this March, so I came into the game even later than you (didn't draw a single thing until... well... late April or so, even ._.;; )

...Dunno if I wholly count since I just draw inane fanart and can't even come up with fic for it, but... I at least partially count as being in the fandom. 8D

(I have been noticing that the fandom's been waning... there's a ton of old, awesome stuff out there but nothing new. All the good art and stories I found were made or begun years ago, which saddens me a bit since I hadn't even heard of the games while the fandom was apparently at its peak XD; )
I'm still here and I'm still drawing Jak art and my fan comic. I am just a lazy person and I have a million plot bunnies in the jak fandom chewing on my brain....so I jump from plot to plot and come back to Aetas. Lol.

Of course you count, honey ^^ Glad you're still with us--plus, like I've said, I love your art.

Topeka is hot. My toe is hot. Pick it.
I suppose every fandom comes to their end without a game to update on it ^^;
But I cant help but be happy with the lack of new Jak games :giggle: If only because I'd hate for this series to be long drag out and become another Crash or Spyro

Im still a Jaktard though :D Nothing like turning on Jak II and going on killing sprees in the streets :boogie:

Leave a comment- Not because the artist is your friend, not because you want em to be your friend, but to simply prove that their hard work is noticed
XD Well, if I started to lose interest after only a month of drawing and fic-reading, it wouldn't speak very well of my concentration...

(There is not enough good fic in this fandom, either ): It did not take nearly enough time for me to reach the point where I figured 'all right... I think I've found all that I'll ever find, short of fics that haven't been posted yet'.)
...Do you realize how awful that sounded? Really? It might not be what you intended, but basically you just said our fandom has no reason to exist and therefore there's no reason to stick with it.

And, y'know, when someone's trying to get comfort because something they care about is going to pot, that's a really bad way of trying to give it. You don't tear down what someone cares about when they feel like they're losing it.

That's just...guh. I'm out of words. Jeez.

I want a fanclub. Or maybe just a fan and a club to beat people into submission with. Yeah...
honey, if you want fanfiction, I know quite a lot of fics that are absolutely glorious and and long as hell. That is if you're interested XD

And I can understand getting bored if there wasn't much of a fandom outside sues and selfinserts to frolic in...
