I made the comic in hopes of inspiring others to create their own, and thanks to my friend Night_Red’s message board ‘Project Jen,’ I had the opportunity to see many of them. When people began posting their own comic strips, I began to host several of them in subdomains on Planet Zebeth. The first ones were ‘Subsector Cyrus’ and ‘Subsector Hiroshi,’ made respectively by Cyrus and Hiroshi Mishima. Cyrus eventually went her own way, and was replaced with ‘Shades of Defiance’ by Lady Icy. Both Subsector Hiroshi and Shades of Defiance are available through the main homepage, and contain hundreds of comics of their own. They have been amazing contributors to the website, and though neither of them presently update, they have been welcomed to return at any time.

A lot has happened since I started Zebeth, and throughout the comic many of my vacations and hardships have been told during ‘pauses’ in the storyline. During these breaks I let my fans know about the adventures that I’ve been on, or what I had experienced such as vacation road trips or coming out as transgender. One of the most amazing parts about running the site has been the fans. When a reader tells me that Planet Zebeth was what had gotten them through a difficult time in their life, or inspired them in some way, it feels amazing to know that I made a difference to them. I’ve had the chance to meet several of them in real life, and spent wonderful afternoons with them. Planet Zebeth is a story that I never want to end, where I keep coming up with new things for Samus and Kraid to do, or follow one of the other characters around for a while. Keep telling a story.
