AAAA we made it to ANOTHER YEAR! Last year, I updated on TINF's exact anniversary (Dec 22nd - here) and I'd completely forgotten about it, isn't that funny... anyway, we didn't land on an update day this time, but at least I remembered! HEH
Thank you so so SO MUCH for all your support, as always! I consider TINF a small but mighty comic- through my years of persevering to finish this story, I really feel like I've built such a strong backbone of readers who are on the journey with me. I feel this way especially with this recent scene we're in- I LOVE all of the thoughtful and observant comments, I LOVE how so many of you consistently pick up on everything I lay out for you, I LOVE how you've all seemed to build such a relationship with Landon that you're defending him page after page, I LOVE that you know my character so well...!
I also want to shoutout my patrons- the kindness I've been shown on patreon is ASTOUNDING...!!! I truly don't think I'd be able to continue doing this without you. Our group may be small but it's the one online space that I feel completely safe- it makes a world of difference for me... I always look forward to sharing with you and hearing your thoughts. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for always supporting me and keeping me afloat, despite your own situations. TT___TT) XOXO
My main motivation for making TINF has always been myself, but... as we get closer and closer to the end, in the final stretches of this comic, I find myself more and more wanting to finish TINF for all YOU readers- to share this story in its entirety with those who have treated it with the same amount of love that I have for it. Thank you for supporting me, for cheering me on, and for reading TINF with such thoughtfulness and care- thank you to all of you who've been here since the beginning, for so many years, for a few months, to a couple of days, who left and came back- I appreciate you so so SO much.
And, of course, I'd be remiss to give a shoutout and HUGE THANK YOU to my BFF THRYN!! As always, she's my emotional support, my unpaid editor (I pay her in friendship), my #1 fan (she chooses this life on her own), the one who reassures my decisions, the one who re-read every iteration of this current conversation because I wrote and rewrote it more times than any other conversation in this comic..... heh. THANK YOU THRYN ILU !!!
Again- thank you for sticking with me and my greatest passion... my silly teenage comic :') here's to hoping we'll be done by next year! ILU XOXO
