Click here to read our latest 6 page batch!
Our update schedule is once a month on the 15th. We will post an entire scene, which are generally between three and seven pages.
Our next batch will be 4 pages and will drop on March 15th, 2026!
Hey all, this past month was a bit of a blur–I’ve been working pretty much non-stop, but we’re at that point in the year where my seasonal affective depression is in full swing thanks to the continued snow/freezing cold/overcast weather, so it feels like I am moving in slow motion with even the most basic of tasks. Things are getting done, but by god are they slow-going.
Thankfully, the days are already notably getting longer, so things can only go up from here. On to the news!

I had fun doing another poll, and it made me think back to the mix and match poll wallpapers I used to do way back. I’m not going to set one up for next month because I have a lot to do between now and then (finishing this chapter and then starting the next, new book cover + chapter cover, plotting out the next chapter and thumbnailing the entire thing before I start in on pages), but once I’ve actually got a batch of pages for the next chapter done, I’ll have time for it.
MY CURRENT TO-DO LIST
Looking at the to-do list from last month makes me feel like I’ve gotten almost nothing done, even when I know I have gotten plenty done. Let me just update that…
Sketch the next batch of pages.Ink the next batch of pages.- Colour the next batch of pages.
- Start on the final batch for this chapter.
When the poll ends, do a couple fun illustrations/wallpapers for Valentines day.- Reformat the first ebook with the updated art and extras and find a home for it.
- Do the cover for Book 05!
- Chapter 25 planning with Shay
- Thumbnailing and storyboarding for chapter 25
- Start the first batch of pages for chapter 25
I’m hoping that colouring the current batch goes smoothly, because there was a major scene change and I don’t have colours picked out for anything. Once I’ve got that done, the last batch should go much more quickly!
WHAT’S NEW ON PATREON
If you would like to support us and help us make sure that we are updating every month with a full batch, Patreon is a really easy place to do it! Our site currently does not host adds (and also never will!) because they are essentially worthless, and also ugly as hell.
As a reminder, we have decided to treat Patreon with a ‘pay what you want’ model–all paid tiers get access to the same paid content, and you can pick whichever tier you like and use it like a recurring tip. I’ll also post free content occasionally!
Here are the things that I have added to Patreon since our previous update! I will clearly mark content that is free for everyone to read–you don’t have to be a member to access it, but if you subscribe even just on the free tier, you’ll get notifications for future free content.

PAID CONTENT
We will see you next month on the 15th of March. The next batch is only 4 pages, because 8 pages was too big, and a split of 5 pages and then 3 pages was a weird place to separate the conversation between two updates. April’s updates will also be 4 pages as a result of this decision.
I am thinking also that you will all be getting an extra update at the beginning of May–we’ve been debating back and forth on whether or not both the book 5 cover and the chapter 25 cover should be their own, early updates. I don’t like to count covers as part of a batch, because it feels a little like a cop out, and I also think there’s a lot of fun to be had by posting both the book cover and the chapter cover early, because the first will hopefully provide a bit of a sneak preview of events that will be taking place over the whole of book 5, and the second will hopefully get y’all hyped for what chapter 25 has in store!
I’ll be posting progress and process updates for both on patreon, so if that interests you, you know what to do!
