The creative process is difficult enough without trying to second-guess criticism or parse larger notions from such small sample sizes. (And I strongly suspect the bulk of readers find something to enjoy with most releases... however, "I like this" is difficult for most folks to expand on compared to "here's what I would like different/better/more." It is, sadly, always easier to "destroy" than "create" with criticism and commentary.) Is there anything we can do to give encouragement or promote positive mental health? What do you want/need from us? (And if the answer is "nothing outside of the monthly Patreon support," that's quite reasonable.) Regardless, thank you for your efforts; they are appreciated in a way that is difficult to express in words. Your passion and devotion to your craft is amply evident in every release. In addition, your ongoing efforts to treat everyone involved (fans, artists, etc.) with respect and integrity -- even during some of the most trying times the world has known in generations -- is exemplary and rare.

2022-08-23 18:00:08 +0000 UTCI almost never read these as I they come out so I never have feedback when I see these posts. But I do always enjoy them. I'm sorry you've found the lack of feedback disheartening. I do appreciate all the hard work. Whenever I look to pair back my subscriptions this is always one account I keep.

2022-08-23 04:01:31 +0000 UTCThank you for your detailed comments over the years on these posts. But this will be the last of the feedback threads. The little response I get in general from these has been affecting my mental health and being an impediment on my creativity. Fact is, there's very little I feel constructive about it, and it's mostly comprised of assumptions, personal irkings, and what-could-have-beens. This overall aura of deafening silence or comprehensive disliking has been just accumulating to the point I am no longer interested in any reaction from my readers. Not only isn't useful anymore, it's become a hurtful item. So, once again... Thanks for the time you took writing about every comics I made so far. It showed you felt passionate about it, and that's all I tried focusing on while reading them.

2022-08-22 03:01:10 +0000 UTCHow to Get Ahead as a Fashion Model (and Teach Your Daughter About it) can best be summed up by its overlong title. This is another split narrative story, and I tend to really not be a fan of these because one story inevitably ends up better than the other. For this reviews I'm just going to go scene by scene in each to get where I'm coming from here. Mj and Annie chat. Great inciting incident. Quasi romantic dialogue a bit iffy. Comes back and it's even a bit squick as the action rises. Then though the trio climaxing with a gentle kiss pushes past any anxiety about this story not working. The next time we return it's only for two panels but both have made this hard to sell pairing an explosion of taboo awesomeness. The only bad part of the last page is that it ends, as it actually sells what seemed like an unworkable scenario into an unmissable one. The agent meeting. Great outfit on MJ, power leather boots and miniskirt matching combo, girly tee and tiny necklace, fab bangles in quatro. If you think its odd to concentrate on fashion let me tell you this story doesn't work. It tells the same story three times, each time not working. It doesn't build but plateau. It examines power dynamics but does it well enough in the first story. It then gives the same boring story thrice. At least in the second the loose garter thong/halter top bra and stocking combo was something. When the third starts it was pure disappointment, I guess the 90's Spidey handbra was kinda cool but there is nothing to care about. It exists as advice for a story where something we care about is happening that we're not seeing. This is not to say this is a bad story, or even mediocre, its still quite good. The subtitle simply was better than I ever imagined, even if the 'A' story ended up pointless. When not shooting itself in the foot it fires on all possible cylinders, if the ending happened say on page five or six we may have been seeing a top ten book.
