How did I come up with the concept for DEMISE?
Demise first started out as a short story I wrote in 8th grade. Yes, 8th grade. It was a part of my application for an arts highschool I so desperately wanted to get into. It was at a time where all I wanted to write was gory, depressing, grotesque scenes. I had also just watched Fight Club for the first time and was obsessed with its psychological thriller elements. I wanted to write something that truly expressed my strange paranoias, the fears I have that I know aren't actually true, but they freak me out so much that I manipulate myself into believing them. I also wanted to explore my own loneliness. I made the main character of the story somewhat of a self-insert of myself. She's a morgue worker in a future where people stop dying, and she has to deal with both her failing social life, disappearing job stabiliyu, and abnormal anxiety issues. Unfortunately for me, I didn't get into that art school, but I still really liked the idea I had for this story, and knew I would still use it for something.

This is a demo of a CSS stylesheet for a hand-coded customizable webcomic archive/site, with a sidebar and general aesthetic similar to Hiveworks and other popular comic website styles.
Tutorial (Incomplete)
To Update Your Comic
- Add a new page to the website.
- Make sure the new page's "previous" button links to the previous page.
- Change the previous page's "next" button to link to the new page.
- Replace the contents of the "/index.html" (or whatever your default "most recent comic" page is) with a copy of the contents of newest page.
- (Optional) Update the "archive" page to include a link to the new page.
Limitations To Keep In Mind
- You will need your sidebar links/HTML layout/widgets/etc to all be complete and finalized before you start seriously posting. This is because if you ever want to change them, you will have to update these details on every page, by hand. You can technically do it, but it will be a total pain in the ass.
- (CSS-only changes are fine, though, since you can just edit the CSS and everything else will change automatically.)
Liza Winslow is a forensic pathologist, working as the head of the county morgue. Unfortunately for her, she lives in a near future where people have ceased from dying. Being a paranoid shut in while stuck in a withering career path, Liza attempts to keep her sanity.
