Hello! I just discovered your blog and I immediately became captivated by your webcomic, but I'm unsure where to read all of it. I know it's on Webtoons, but I can see it hasn't been updated for a while, and you still post about it.

Are your physical novels just prints of the webcomic? Are they a continuation? Is the story complete? Thanks in advance!

Hi there!

Glad you found me and are enjoying my comic!

It's only on webtoons, and the story is not complete yet! We're 2/3 of the way through right now. It's currently on hiatus, and it's scheduled to come back in about 2 months!

I'll explain why it's been so long if you're curious, but also for my followers who might also be wondering about it under the cut. Sorry, it's pretty much just me complaining haha

I took a month off I took 2 months to get the books printed I took a month to prepare my next comic and I took 2 months to write the rest of the series (I knew the character arcs I wanted, but not the time periods or mysteries!!!) I've been working on actual episodes since then

I had to take some time off because of some pretty extreme burnout due to the sheer amount of work it was to draw over 800 pages and write 6 complete stories in a year and a half... I was getting sick almost weekly due to the overwork, it was really really bad honestly. I was having to work 60+ hours every week just to keep up...

The nature of the comic itself is also difficult... Each of the arcs is a complete, self contained story which can be read (ideally) without context, and my arcs need to be about 10-13 episodes each... And since I have an exact number of episodes to work with, it's even harder.

It takes a ton of planning and a ton of refinement, and working week to week with no breaks I was forced to put out second or even first drafts, so I just wasn't happy with the work I was doing... And to do that for the rest of the series? I wouldn't be proud of the work I did.

Plus... To be entirely honest, webtoon has treated me quite badly IN MY OPINION... They deprioritized me before I launched (I had to beg for more promotion, I'm not exaggerating), they outright denied me the opportunity to even ask for a raise, I don't make any money on fast pass and they pay me less than my partner makes working at trader joes. My first editor left me completely hanging, my second editor (who I loved) was fired... And they told me I wouldn't get a third season before my first season even finished. So it was just repeatedly completely demoralizing.

I'm sorry it has taken so long, it'll have been 10 months by the time I come back. But I realized... I won't get promotion either way. I won't get more episodes either way. I won't get more money either way. So to finish everything, to make it feel good, to make it something I'm proud of, I chose to take longer to make it better.

I am fully aware I will lose a significant amount of my readership for this and it might genuinely affect my career moving forward. But it's what I had to do! So I'm sticking to my guns on it, and I'm confident long term it'll be worth it. It never could have been this good if I didn't take this much time.

What part of the Sonic fandom do you like the most? The game, the cartoon, etc. And if it's the comic, which story arc do you like the most?

Honestly, my favorite part of the Sonic franchise in its entirety was the Archie comics. I'd say my favorite arc was probably Hedgehog Havoc because that one was my very first, but that answer's always changing.

Sometimes it's that, and sometimes it's Shadow Fall from Sonic Universe and sometimes it's the Unleashed mini-arc and sometimes it's The Silver Saga or Secret Freedom.

What was really nice about Archie Sonic was that it was allowed to change the status quo, and often did. It was allowed to show EMOTION in Sonic characters (not saying IDW doesn't do this) and it did that too. Archie Sonic felt like its own real interesting world with it's own unique lore and characters and history. Sometimes a friend ends up exploded into a coma. Sometimes an evil wizard is king.

Events had actual weight to them, y'know?

I think rye thinks it's incredibly adorable of davrin to be worried about him after the accidental hallucination tea experiment. that stoic option 'you know, I lived a whole life before you' contains a world of 'davrin, I'm a mourn watcher with a severely misspent youth behind me. I've been stratospherically high on things you couldn't and probably wouldn't want to imagine, this is barely a tickle'. to me.

I am getting to take an unexpected trip in just under two weeks which involves flying (husband was asked last minute if he could go to this work conference, and I asked if I could come along and take it as a writing retreat), and instead of panicking over what I can take for clothes, I am panicking over oh no, the story that I am planning on writing while there involves my fountain pen with bottled ink, I am going to have to get ink cartridges for it instead because I am NOT taking bottled ink on the plane, and uh-oh, I need some new yarn because my current knitting project is too bulky for the plane but the project I'd like to start I don't have yarn for yet.

Clothes will be fine, but making sure I can get ink cartridges for my fountain pen in the right color, that's top priority, folks.
