Introduction
Welcome to the WSSQUID Homepage!
WSSQUID is an illustrated story based on Sierra OnLine's Space Quest series. It was first published on August 11, 2000, and it tells of what happened to the series' protagonist, Roger Wilco, after Space Quest 7 (which was sadly cancelled by Sierra). In the story, Roger meets a heroic janitor's worst nightmare: a young, slightly unbalanced, maniacal female fan of his exploits named Xandra, who has claws, a tail, and a tendency to shed a lot. Roger learns the hard way that being cancelled doesn't mean he won't have to save the universe again.
However, this story hasn't aged very well, but although it is rather outdated and inexpertly written, its successor, WSSQUID Contd., a comic strip based on what happens after WSSQUID, surpasses it in most aspects. It doesn't fit in with the accepted SQ timeline, and it most likely won't meld well with the unnofficial SQ7, but it is still serving its main purpose by bringing the few remaining SQ fans a little enjoyment by putting our beloved sanitation engineer into even more awkward situations out of which he must emerge victorious, and possibly even converting a few "non-fans". ;)

Okay, the strip has gone long enough without updates, so now it's time for my latest excuse: I do have several more strips scripted, but I'm currently involved in a large project (that involves SQ to a very small degree) that's taking up most of my free time. I don't know when I'll complete it, but rest assured that Who Says Space Quest Is Dead (Contd.) is not dead. Eventually, more strips will come.

After a month of almost nonstop work, I've finally completed my first adventure game...in Flash 5. It's a pretty short, simple game, but I'm happy with the way it turned out. Keep an eye out for a familiar character making a cameo appearance ;) - Area 50.5

I've finally gotten enough strips done to start updating regularly again. Sorry about the long wait. Strip #250 will be coming out later this year, so be prepared, since I'm still keeping the tradition of doing something exciting and different in every 50th strip.

Just updating to let everyone know that I have NOT forgotten the strip. I've got a traditional "Semicentennial Special" lined up for Strip #250, but I have yet to come up with ideas for Strips 239 through 249. I'm not uploading any new strips until I complete all ten strips so that there are no gaps between weekly uploads. Just be patient; I should soon be back on track.

Prior to today, not all of the injokes and references I've included in the comic strips have been listed. Now, however, they are: I've explained every single cameo/in-joke/reference/parody/whatnot that appears in each comic. In case you still want to figure out the in-joke/reference on your own, they have been effectively concealed, so you don't need to read them if you don't want to.

About me
I'm female, in my 20's, and a big fan of old adventure games, traditional animation, old time radio, and lots of other old stuff. I also watch birds, draw and read in my spare time.
I would like to thank Jess Morisette of Roger Wilco’s Virtual Broomcloset and most of the members of the fandom for inspiring me to write and illustrate these stories, Sierra On-Line for creating such a fun, inspiring series, and ZBS Media for inspiring me to actually buy the SQ Collection in the first place (well, indirectly, but still...).
