Your opinion! (about updates)
Added 2024-07-31 23:53:27 +0000 UTCHey guys!
I want to ask you something I've been curious about and it'll definitely help me for my future comic, Matchpoint, once I start posting.
Do you prefer less updates, but have more content per update? (Ex: longer episodes, more panels per update etc.)
Or do you prefer more updates but with less content? (Ex: what eomc is currently doing, one page a day, but more updates per month.)
I ask this because well... I'm only one person and not a big team, my assistant is GREAT and she helps me a lot, but there's no way I'm risking a hand injury again, not if I want to continue doing this for a long time and give you guys the best art/story I can manage. The standard for webcomics has become so insane (70+ panels a week? hell no id die.)
I'm not sure which ones you guys personally prefer since Matchpoint will be scroll format, so the updates might be slightly different, I appreciate any advice/personal opinion in the comments, too.
Thank you!

2024-08-13 18:59:54 +0000 UTCFirst, thank you so much for asking about our preferences❣️ Next, I vote for Option 3, whatever provides you with the best life balance and least injury/pain/discomfort works for me. Like another supporter said, we're not going anywhere!! (My 21yo is an artist and already has carpal tunnel. They get get excruciating pain in their thumb at times, requiring cortisone shots about every 6 months. So I acknowledge and appreciate what you do for your craft. Take care of yourself ❤️ and thank you for thinking of us ❤️)

2024-08-04 20:34:08 +0000 UTCpersonally i’m ok with either, there’s a different positive for either choice, but i do think i get that cliffhanger frustration more with the shorter pages 😂

2024-08-02 04:18:16 +0000 UTCI personally think it's less hassle to provide more content less frequently at my own job, so that's what I voted for, but really it's whatever works best for you!
Brandy Tiller
2024-08-02 03:51:42 +0000 UTCI have to agree with option 3. Do what you can do. We're not going anywhere. ❤️

2024-08-01 21:33:44 +0000 UTCI agree with what others have said- option 3 for sure 💙

2024-08-01 16:08:47 +0000 UTCI voted but honestly I don’t really care. I’m here for you and am happy as long as there’s any exclusive content for me 😊✨
Danielle Taylor
2024-08-01 07:36:33 +0000 UTCI vote option 3: whatever is best for you. If 1 week u can do 2 panels great if the next week you can't do any thats ok too. Your physical and mental wellbeing is what matters. Having readers that care about their authors shows true love and appreciation it is so important ❤

2024-08-01 05:43:56 +0000 UTCLike many others are saying, I'm truly happy with whichever you prefer! EOMC is worth the wait and patience, but more importantly, YOU are worth more than our entertainment. Take it easy on yourself and we'll accept what you end up giving us ^_^ Thank you, Loony!!!

2024-08-01 03:44:40 +0000 UTCWhat’s important is your health and stuff. No matter which option you go with it averages out to the same amount of content. I personally like the frequent updates with eyes on me even though it’s only one panel, but it’s completely understandable if that’s just not working for you, the creator, anymore. Please do what’s best for you! (And avoid anymore hand injuries. Yikes)

2024-08-01 03:15:36 +0000 UTCI agree, I am fine with whichever works best for you Loony

2024-08-01 03:11:33 +0000 UTCTruely do not mind, its a great story. However it finds its way to me - be it few panels or many - I am satisfied ❤️
Hananaria
2024-08-01 02:50:30 +0000 UTCAnother tally for option three of whatever is best for you, mentally and physically. I don't know how the "starndard" got to be what it is, but I'm guessing they have more people working on the project and can share the load. I say go at your pace and it'll all be good.
justasimplebaker
2024-08-01 01:27:45 +0000 UTCI vote the 3rd option also!!! I love your stories and for me I'd much rather have an artist who is healthy and in peek mental and physical condition, happy with their work and feeling good. You are what's important here!!!! ❤️❤️
Amanda Klein
2024-08-01 01:20:41 +0000 UTCI love that so many people are picking option 3, whatever is best for you! I don't have a preference. I love your art and writing. I can't wait to see what else you come up with. I'll continue following whatever you decide, just like the rest of the commenters.

2024-08-01 01:06:06 +0000 UTCI'm joining the "third option" party. I've been here for a while. I read a LOT of ongoing comics. Some update daily, some go on a two-year hiatus. I still love them all, because they don't burn themselves out and quit. They don't get bitter and resentful, like one I used to read. A quick text update when you need a break, when you want a break, when you just have no motivation (and therefore need a break). That's enough for me. I don't want to read a story that's torture to the artist. I like the stories that have the artist's passion on clear display. You lose that passion when you push yourself, and eventually?? It stops coming back. That would be the worst. To lose a good story because a good person tried so hard they lost their passion. Thanks, no thanks. You take care of you. You post as you can. You work as you can. You take a break as you need. You come back when you're ready. No judgment here.

2024-08-01 01:05:56 +0000 UTCI would prefer..... what YOU prefer! Whatever works best for you and your assistant, truly. If you've read The Gentle Way, that artist does smaller updates and then makes one big chapter of all the little updates when the chapter is completed, I don't know if that's something that could be helpful to you. Anything you do, I'll be here to support you along the way and I'm sure everyone here feels the same!

2024-08-01 01:05:34 +0000 UTCI don't want to vote. Just keep doing what you're doing, I'm good with that

2024-08-01 01:04:24 +0000 UTCOops, I'm sorry this was meant for the new story! but my opinion still stands, even in scroll format
Dewsler
2024-08-01 00:58:47 +0000 UTCI voted for less updates with more content. Sometimes the single pages can be a tease lol, but I really am fine with either option. I agree with everyone else, that your health/sanity is the most important thing. You really do spoil us with being so consistent with your schedule and keeping us posted if there are delays, so no complaints here either way!
Dewsler
2024-08-01 00:45:47 +0000 UTCSo long as you're safe, happy and healthy, I could care less. Artistry is very much dependent on all 3 of those things. Who cares what the standard is, we love you for the work you do and put out, be it a longer or shorter timeline. Whatever keeps you good is what you should do Loony. You communicate to all of us and that's what matters the most. I'm sure you've seen how many times anyone here has said for you not to apologize and take care. ❤️😊
Aki Ai
2024-08-01 00:18:31 +0000 UTCWhile I do love the flow of more updates with less content (helps my forgetful ADHD brain) I'd really like to not see you hurt yourself again. So, I choose whichever option is best for you 💚
Britt
2024-08-01 00:17:48 +0000 UTCDo what you feel is best for you and your assistant. Staying healthy and having no injuries is most important! I don't mind waiting for updates! I love going back and rereading the story! I'll be fine with whatever schedule you decide is most comfortable to work with it. 😊❤️
Kit
2024-08-01 00:17:23 +0000 UTCIf its meant to be scroll style. I'd be okay with less updates with more in the one. It's important to not injure yourself so whatever that looks like schedule wise. I hurt my ankle recently and I know it's not the same, but damn does it affect you on several levels so take care of yourself as well.

2024-08-01 00:17:10 +0000 UTCI’m happy with just being able to read the story. Take care of your health. We can be patient if you need to update less.
KHTimeProtector
2024-08-01 00:09:36 +0000 UTCI'm good with whatever! I personally don't get them daily and maybe thats my tier. I do like having a little more to read each time but I also love that its quick so that I can convince myself to move on with my day
Katherine Perske
2024-08-01 00:09:16 +0000 UTCWhatever is best for your health. Truly.

2024-08-01 00:06:13 +0000 UTCSee I told you! Option 3 please 🤗
Lacy Knecht
2024-08-01 00:03:58 +0000 UTCHell I'm just happy with whatever I can get. I want to get into digital art just like you so you are a real inspiration to me.

loonytwin
2024-08-01 00:01:18 +0000 UTCWhatever is truly best for you. I believe that reading through these comments show that we are here to support your stories and content, and we don't want you stressed about things!! Take your time and do what you need to. I know I'm not going anywhere 😊
Reyda
2024-08-01 00:01:01 +0000 UTCAll that really matters is that you do not hurt yourself, and that you are taking care of your physical, emotional, and mental health! You are more than just art, you are a human being that we love! 😭❤️
Amy Cargos-Morowitz
2024-08-01 00:00:36 +0000 UTCI like a little more content like 2 pages but not more than that. Its essential that that artist feel comfortable and stay healthy.
Lillie
2024-08-01 00:00:23 +0000 UTCHonestly Loony whatever makes you less stressed? I think with less updates u may have more time to plan things out etc but since I've been following since 2020 this weekly update gives me something to get excited over
Cj Taylor
2024-07-31 23:59:59 +0000 UTCWhatever is best for you!
Angelica
2024-07-31 23:58:53 +0000 UTCIts so hard to decide
Lillie
2024-07-31 23:58:27 +0000 UTCHi! I’ve been a follower for a long time. Like since chapter 3? Idk I’m obsessed. Either way, I think you should add a third option. Which would be “I don’t really care either way I just want to support you and you do what is best for you”. Because that’s where I’m at. You’ve been so good at communicating when you have to take breaks because of your injury or for mental health. I think as long as you keep that up, your supporters will support you regardless. I love the story. I live for the updates, but you are the creator of that story. Your health and mental is way more important to me than the story. We want to SUPPORT YOU 🤍
Lacy Knecht
2024-07-31 23:57:56 +0000 UTCi think you should take the time you need and do what you can handle. 💙💙💙 love this story and will be here for the long run.
Kathleen Swarts
2024-07-31 23:57:06 +0000 UTCPersonally, I'm of the opinion that we've been eating pretty well of late. Wouldn't hurt for you to slow down if and when it is needed. Definitely don't need another hand scare.
Gregory Nicholas
2024-07-31 23:56:59 +0000 UTCI’m excited for any update at all however I love the idea of “more at once” it’s absolutely worth waiting for.
