Sunday Digest ~ Vol XX

[2 new Swords episodes, 2 Stars episodes and a crossover with Maurice the Beaver]

Merry Qwestmas, everyone! I hope you had a good one! Tell us all about it in the comments!

Life Updates

• I met TheImmortalThinkTank! She's lovely! We talked about webcomics a lot! We played some Cut the Deck, I lost 2 to 1 and she signed her guest card, Saber Snake, for me - the first signed card to begin my collection!

• And then a bird pooped on my shoulder... XD

• I'm still in Christmas mode... Eating snacks... Thinking about eating more snacks...

• I'm still looking for work in 2025, hit me up if you hear about anything I'd be a good fit for! I have a lot happening in January, so something remote I can be flexible with would be great right now.

• I'm a bit behind on watching Bleach now. I watched Rebel Moon and Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris

Product Updates

• I am currently raising funds with a Stars January Crunch-a-thon, to test my limits a little. The more support I get, the more episodes I'll make.
  Maybe I'll try this again with Quest Sprout episodes in February if things are quiet... but there's no way I could do 60 episodes in a month. That would defeat me.

• The Swordscomic Patreon is $9 away from the goal I've been aiming for all year; and a mere 76 patrons away from that lofty evergreen goal of 1000 Supporters!

• The Swor'nament is over for a while - back to regular Swords episodes for the foreseeable future. Zhar, Viscount Varris, Hex and Chépée the Pommeler will return!

• I have refreshed the Patreon-integrated merch that comes with the Royal and God Tier for 2025

• I have added a one-time drop of a Swords Mug to the Sage Tier, for subscribers after 3 months - please make sure your address is up to date in Settings! It's sent via Patreon, not from here in New Zealand.

• I haven't had final confirmation yet, but shipping of Cut the Deck should begin very shortly. Again, if you are in New Zealand specifically, you should preorder because NZ copies will be travelling together on a palette.

Social Updates

• Stars is ranked #1 for Sci-Fi series on Webtoon Canvas! Woohoo! This is the first month it has had more page views than Swords. Feel free to pitch in and help it get even higher!

• BlueSky picked up a little (21.9k > 23.4k)

That's all for now! Thanks for reading!
