Hits are still really high guys, thanks. You are all awesome and cool, and better than your enemies.
There is a contest for art from the series in the post below. And there will be a twitter contest later this week.
Okay, in the spirit of the LYAD week, and you guys giving us delicious new readers and hits, we are giving away art. There are some mistakes in LYA, we’ve found quite a few so far and we are always on the look out for more, so we can fix them before the story goes to print. So our first contest is simple: starting here: http://www.floodworks.net/webcomics/lightyearsaway/23 and running until here: http://www.floodworks.net/webcomics/lightyearsaway/27 there is a little fight scene. Somewhere in those three pages there is a huge continuity error.
Find it. Post it in the comments on this blog post, and win this page of original art:

Go!
UDATE! Barry (sounds like a pretty cool dude) Wins! He spotted a missing Puritan armband. More contests to come dudes.
This went up late last night, it’s press time at Adam’s paper so he wasn’t finished with his day job til almost ten. The rest of the week looks clear for early evening updates though.
You guys are doing great, our hits set a site record yesterday. Awesome. Thank you so much. David Brothers wrote a blurb about us over at iFanboy and we got linked on the webcomic Salt and Battery. Thanks guys. To every one else that linked from forums and blogs, thank you too. It’s more difficult for me to track you down to mention you specifically but we saw the hits and we appreciate it.
Also, for the first time we are getting more hits from several other states than we are from our home state. So outside readers have overwhelmed our local audience. That is great. Keep up the great work guys, we are pretty happy dudes over here.

Alright, so today begins our first ever LIGHT YEARS A DAY event. Starting today, we will be posting a page of Light Years Away everyday for a week. 7 days 7 pages.
LYA Page 55
Now comes the bit where we ask for something in return. Adam and I both work full-time day jobs, Adam is a graphic designer for a local alternative weekly and around press time this job demands a lot of hours. A page of Light Years Away takes Adam about four hours to layout, ink, color, letter and post online. So Adam is going to be killing himself this week (especially with one of the upcoming pages…) to put these out.
In return, all we ask is that you tell people about us. Telling a friend is great, posting a link is better. We want more readers guys, we want our hits to soar to new heights, and we think we are worth it. Send out a tweet over twitter, use the #floodworks tag. Tell your friends about us on facebook, if you post on a forum, let people know about us there. Do whatever you want.
Adam, and I love what we do, we want to share it, and we need your help.
If the event is successful we will probably do it again every couple months, also we aren’t ruling out the possibility of FAT BABY A DAYBY.
Adam and I will also be giving away some original art from Light Years Away as part of the Event. Follow us on Twitter for details:

Thank you guys so much for reading our comics. Stay Tuned, it’s gonna be an awesome week.

Page 53, but guys, guys -seriousy guys…I got the date of LIGHT YEARS A DAY wrong, it starts next Sunday, not -you know- yesterday. Here is a cool banner to prove it:
Don’t feel bad about showing people, people on the internet, that. We won’t mind.
A little late, because Adam has been very sick and needed a 15 hour nap to recover. We can’t have him ill, because this weekend we begin LIGHT YEARS A DAY. More on that later, for now enjoy page 52.
Floodworks is a collective venture between four artists.
Adam Rosenlund, artist.
Ethan Ede, writer.
Adam Bennett, film maker.
Dillon Woods, coder.
