Your opinion! (about updates)

Hey 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.

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!

I never voted lol. I didn't wanna cause I like both equally and to indecisive 🙃 sorry😏

Kyrin Lockheart

First, 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 ❤️)

Argent

personally 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 😂

Duck

I 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

I have to agree with option 3. Do what you can do. We're not going anywhere. ❤️

loud37

I agree with what others have said- option 3 for sure 💙

Noel

I 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

I 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 ❤

SLAniLife

Like 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!!!

Mamka

What’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)

Mya Josephson

I agree, I am fine with whichever works best for you Loony

Foxy Lady

Truely do not mind, its a great story. However it finds its way to me - be it few panels or many - I am satisfied ❤️

Hananaria

Another 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

I 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

I 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.

Cinnameleon

I'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.

Sinna Stevenson

I 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!

OkayestCleric

I don't want to vote. Just keep doing what you're doing, I'm good with that

Morrium Le'Jem

Oops, I'm sorry this was meant for the new story! but my opinion still stands, even in scroll format

Dewsler

I 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

So 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

While 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

Do 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

If 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.

Victoria O.

I’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

I'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

Whatever is best for your health. Truly.

M Connor

See I told you! Option 3 please 🤗

Lacy Knecht

Hell 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.

Reesie

Priorizing your mental and physical well being shall always be number one. I rlly enjoy how the content is being put out. It always brightens my day!!

Jasmin A

i made this post for advice;;; not to cry lmao fnrjhfb thank you so much!! this really means a lot, I always try to be upfront about updates/content and I really appreciate you staying for so long;;

loonytwin

Whatever 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

All 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

I like a little more content like 2 pages but not more than that. Its essential that that artist feel comfortable and stay healthy.

Lillie

Honestly 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

Whatever is best for you!

Angelica

Its so hard to decide

Lillie

Hi! 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

i 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

Personally, 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

I’m excited for any update at all however I love the idea of “more at once” it’s absolutely worth waiting for.

doit_fortheplot

option 3 whatever is best for you 🫶🫶🫶

Morgin

fck i shouldve done that omg hahaha

loonytwin

But really do whatever you’re able to handle! I love this story and will follow either way!

Jessica Emerson

Can we add a third option of whatever is best for you ♥️
