Monthly update update update

Hey all! I think I said previously I wanted to do these monthly blog style updates for you, and I realized I hadn't done one yet for this month--and I do have some things on my mind~ So lets go!

First of all, Happy PRIDE MONTH and happy summer to those of you who may be out of school now! For me, this time of year really marks the beginning of convention season, which, if you hadn't guessed by the new fanart stuff I've been making, can occupy quite a bit of my time. I want to apologize in advance for some of the TLLT time I will have to sacrifice over the next couple months for traveling/stocking my inventory. I will do my very very best to stay on top of updates, but I also want to be flexible and forgiving enough with myself that I'm not irrationally stressed/overworked.

I've posted my convention schedule here before, but I want to give it to you guys again, this time so you have an idea of when I'll need extra wiggle room.

July 9th - Meadowlark Comicon (Grants Pass, OR) (Local show, most likely wont interfere with updates)

July 29th-31st - Terrificon (Uncasville, CT)  (Likely taking a week off for this one because Rowdy will be at this event with me and we gotta plan time for leisure out too!)

September 16th-18th - Las Vegas Comicon (I will DEFINITELY need to take a week off updates for this one because...)

September 22nd-24th - Salt Lake City FanX (Is literally the weekend after Las Vegas comicon, and I will be making a big 12-day trip out of it)

Oct 8th - Ani-Medford (Grants Pass, OR) - (Another local one-day show that wont interfere with updates)

I'm still sniffing around for more convention events in the late fall/early winter, so there could be more, but these are the main ones we gotta worry about. :) And if any of you are in the area I'd love to see you there!  Now-- moving on.

Second important topic I want to discuss with you...

As Rowdy and I get farther into TLLT and face this uphill battle of gaining followers on Webtoon, we find ourselves scratching our head wondering WHY they won't feature TLLT on their homepage. Every week we check to see which comics they are promoting and it's just.... never us LOL. Now, this may sound a little arrogant (we are competing with THOUSANDS of other comics after all), but there's no reason why it shouldn't get the Canvas team's attention. I've tried sending them multiple messages/emails asking for ANY inkling of why... or how... or when... what I need to do to get there, and I never hear back. 

I could take this as a sign of "oh its just pure luck". But... Idk. I don't want to settle on it being luck, I want to increase my odds so that TLLT can reach its full potential. Lol.

This may come as a bit of a surprise to you.... but I'm thinking about taking PB and ARCO completely down off the website? I really DON'T know if it has anything to do with TLLT's slow-progress, but I do know that Webtoon has VERY strict NSFW policies, and in the past I was pretty laxxed about breaking them. I know PB was flagged once and they made me go back and change the way I blurred things out... so I can't help but wonder if that could be stopping them from featuring me now? IDK. It's really frustrating because like I said, no one will answer my questions. I just don't know what else to do, to be ABSOLUTELY sure I'm not the one standing in my own way. 

If I do decide to do this-- ARCO will end up being re-posted on a different account, since it's a finished comic and I want you all to have access to it whenever you want (as well as readers on Webtoon). However for PB... eeehhH??? Not so much. I don't want to start reposting something that wont be finished. I don't see a lot of point in it? :/  Even though I know so many people loved that comic...

If anyone here knows anything more about Webtoon policies, or any input that could help I'm all ears. And before I make a final decision, I'll definitely let you all know. This is just... sorta a heads up. 

In conclusion - Life is busy, I appreciate you all very much and thank you for the support, and cross your fingers for me that TLLT gets featured. <3
