Elijah North <\/strong>is the new guy at MANAWORKS<\/strong>, the “finest magical solutions company in the Southern Hemisphere” (according to the brochures, anyway). The company’s Agents are in great demand for dealing with Leak Entities<\/strong>, magical monsters who cause havoc wherever they appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What drew Elijah to Manaworks? Why, it was the fact that the company employs the legendary Archagent Marie Keye<\/strong>, whose televised monster-hunting exploits have drawn his eye for the last year. An Apprenticeship with her would be a dream come true! What a great career move!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, things don’t turn out that way, and what follows is the plot of the comic. Also LGBT themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start reading from the first page!<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Is this a gay\/BL comic?
A:<\/strong> It’s not a straightforward gay romance story, no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> When does the comic update?
A:<\/strong> Every Friday (AEST), which is Thursday in most other timezones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Are there any content warnings?
A:<\/strong> Yep, take a look at those in the notes under the first page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Hey, some of these characters look familiar! Is that Juliet from Sanctuary<\/a><\/em>?
A:<\/strong> You’re right, that is<\/em> Juliet! But this story is set in a different universe to Sanctuary<\/em>. So Juliet (and any other characters you recognize) are AU<\/a><\/abbr> versions of what you saw in Sanctuary<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi there! I’m Nicky Fey, I draw the comic. I wrote it because I wanted to read a story with LGBT characters and themes I could relate to. Also I live in Australia and thought it would be neat to see LGBT characters in an Australian setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Does this mean the characters are speaking in Australian accents?
A:<\/strong> They speak in whatever accent you read ’em with, mate – except Richard, who has a residual Yorkshire tone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
