Quantum Vibe
A thousand years in the future, humanity has colonized worlds in nearly 100 galaxies, thanks to Quantum Vibremonic technologies developed five centuries earlier. Other new technologies have created various off-shoots of humanity and extended life expectancies five-fold. The story begins with how a mad scientist and his plucky assistant, along with their robot friend, brought humanity to the stars, and continues with the adventures of some unique people in fantastic places.
QV on a short break [ Jul 15, 2026 ]
QUANTUM VIVE is taking a break for a few weeks, as we prepare for Part 2 of the Novo Palermo story, and also for a Kickstarter campaign for Part 1, which will start in September.
In the meantime, Not-Safe.Space will continue, as a murder mystery begins and the relationship between Eithne and Diana develops in unexpected directions.
Not-Safe.Space is a NSFW strip but more than half the pages are SFW so I've set those to *not* require a Patreon membership. Readers should be able to follow the story without seeing the NSFW pages. If I've done this right.
Transcript For Strip 1858
Panel 1Diana laying awake in bed. Nude but for the cast on her arm, and partially covered by bed linen.

Panel 2
Diana unable to sleep, tosses and turns.
Caption: But there was just so much to absorb … Juan beaten nearly to death …
Caption: … those odd clues he thought-sent me ...
Caption: … Lorelei's betrayal … and that whole business with The Mechanic.
Panel 3
Diana unable to sleep, tosses and turns.
Caption: When I did that job for Gyeon-Hoon five cycles ago, I had to look into his history and he seemed to be remarkably clean.
Caption: Now I've learned that he has connections with, well, 'the underworld' in Bubbleopolis.
Caption: Not that there isn't an advantage to having friends in low places.
Panel 4
Diana, wrapped into a crazy position in her bed linens from tossing and turning, finally dozing off
Caption: But clearly, I wasn't nearly as good an investigator as I thought.

Caption: And how is Alyss Roaz going to react when I show up uninvited?
Caption: And how do I deal with Woon's crush?
Caption: And etc.
