Please note: V&L is currently on hiatus! V&L was my first comic, and I have learnt alot from doing it. I have grown as an artist and evolved my drawing style considerably. Now I have moved on to other projects as well as making my living as an artist/designer. Please understand that the artwork you see in this section of my website is not my current standard. Some information in this section may also be inaccurate, since I do not update it (e.g. my age, links to other websites, etc). - I keep V&L on my website for two reasons: 1) So that people can still read it and enjoy the story (and all the wonderful gift art I've recieved), and see how it all started for me (drawing comics, that is). 2) Because I may want to continue the comic or re-draw parts of it. I still hold Val and Laren very dear and would very much like to continue their story if I get the time and opportunity for it. I know some of you have followed V&L, and I'm sorry about leaving it like this, but that is the way it has to be right now. Welcome! V&L is an online comic. It's based on a story written by my friend Helen and me (M-chan). Comments are very appreciated (email me at mchan@REMOVETHISvalxlaren.cjb.net. :-) I speak in black, Val in green, and Laren in red. And we all talk a lot on this site ... You can browse the site using the links in the left frame. If you are not viewing frames you are at an old version of this site, so please click here. And now Laren will tell you what to find where! V&L Entrance: This page. Comic: A new menu pops up in the left frame. You just click on the page you want to see. If you wish to return to the "normal" menu, please click "V&L Entrance". Illustrations: V&L pictures by M-chan. Crappy sketches, weird experiments, CGs, marker drawings, etc. Gift Art: Some people decided to make us happy and sent us their artwork featuring us. Go look. It's worth it. Info: There's an OAQ (occasionally asked questions) and a MUQ (made up questions). Characters: About Val and me and a few semi-important characters. Summaries: If you don't want to read the comic from the beginning, or you can refresh your memory. Misc: Things which don't quite belong anywhere else (awards, etc.) Previous Polls: Statistics. How many people voted for what in old polls. Guestbook: Please leave a message and tell us what you think. It makes M-chan so happy. Webrings: Somewhat obvious ... m-chan.dk: M-chan's main site. It has links and update information and other more or less useful things. That was quite a mouthful! Val, please leave the readers out of your personal life ... What? *blush* I didn't mean it like THAT! Besides, we haven't ... I mean ... It's not like ... And anyway, this whole site is about our personal lives, so why ..? Just ignore her, Val.   Short Notes (from M-chan, without any interference from V&L): I opened up an online Cafepress shop with goods featuring Val & Laren and my other comics. - So wouldn't it be cool to wear the boys on your boxershorts? Or on a sweatshirt? Or even a mug or a lunchbox? Please drop by the shop and take a look! Ideas are welcome, too. :-) Also, if you like V&L, why not check out the website of the doujinshi-circle I'm a member of? You can buy some of my other comics and original artwork from there! And if you want to read more online comics by me, well, please check out Tales Untold. :-) And another thing! If you would like to read some stories by Helen, why not drop by her Elfwood page? Or the PBEM RPG, Dance of the Magpies that she is the cofounder of. :-)   Are you a Val & Laren Addict?
