Being a Fail

Hey there!

I'm really sorry for the sudden and long absence. I assumed that when I started back at university I would be able to commit my free time to creating ZHPS comics weekly, but I have been incredibly busy and my free time has been few and far between. As the creator, lineartist AND colourist, it takes me a long time to create a single comic and my schedule has been so full that I have been completely unable to keep up.

I don't intend to abandon this project completely and I will create comics when I can. Sorry for being so useless, and I hope you are all enjoying Pandaria!

Peace out!

Launch of the Pandas

With the arrival of the Pandaren in Azeroth and the freshers at my uni, ZHPS is taking a hiatus for this week. Happy levelling, and we'll see you next Wednesday!

(sorry!)

Changes

I received lots of feedback from reddit yesterday when I inflicted my comic upon them, so here are some updates, changes and announcements!

New Comic Weekly
Now that I have a few completed comics, I will be sticking to a weekly schedule. You will find a new comic released every Wednesday. Keep an eye out!

Name
I have never been happy with the name Fail Priest. It felt very unoriginal, but I expected that it would only have a few followers so I didn't worry too much. However, it has received a much larger response than I had anticipated, and especially following a comment yesterday pointing out what a mundane name it is I decided it had best change sooner rather than later.
So, step aside Fail Priest and welcome Zero Healing per Second (ZHPS)! I will be slowly changing everything associated with Fail Priest to be ZHPS, so I hope you didn't all get too attached to the name *guilty face*,

Art Style
As mentioned above, I didn't expect so many people to view and follow my comic, so I've been left feeling a little embarrassed by some of the artwork featured in it! (check out my deviantART and you'll see it's enormously simplified compared to my normal style)
I will be spending a little more time on them from now on now that I have a week in between submissions, and if you keep a look out you'll see my existing comics get a facelift.

About

Hello, and welcome to Fail Priest!

My name is Rachel Mead, and I play a Blood Elf Priest in World of Warcraft. I've had itchy feet for a while now; I follow many fantastic players online and I have wished to be one of them with thousands of people enjoying and seeking advice from my updates. But for around a week now, I have been faced with the disappointing realisation that I had nothing of any interest to write about. I will never be as good as those other players- I have no strengths to play up to.

And that was when the idea struck me- perhaps my lack of strengths is my strength. No matter how hard I try in game, my friends and me always have a good giggle about my frequent dumbness, and everything seems to go wrong for me. So, why not combine my strength in art and my weakness in common sense to create a web comic of the trouble my Priest, Kyrianna, is so often landed in? So, here are my memoires in cheesy web-comic form. 

Enjoy your visit!
