Welcome to the end of first incarnation of Bloomin’ Faeries! When I started the comic (WAAAAAAY back in 2010), it was a 4-panel comic with very little continuity. I was intended as a weekly gag, sometimes funny, sometimes sexy, hopefully both when I was really inspired. Over time, however, I felt the need to tell a longer and better story, and that’s led me to move to the half-page version you’ve seen in the last 5-6 years. It allowed me to get into more narrative and continuity, but I’ll readily admit that it’s a harder read than I’d like. At half a page twice a month, you don’t get as much narrative as I’m sure you’d like, and it takes forever to tell a half-decent or satisfying story.
So as I conclude the old version of the comic, I’d like to introduce you to the new and improved Bloomin’ Faeries! As of September 1, you’ll get a FULL-PAGE comic instead of a half page, and you’ll get that THREE TIMES a month. That’s about (I dunno, math…) at least TWICE as much story every month.
The comic will come out on the 1st, 11th, and 21st of each month. I will maintain that pace until my Patreon is strong enough to support a return to a weekly schedule (let’s hope this can happen this year!).
Thank you to everyone who reads the comic, and especially my Patreon backers. (And in case you’re interested, my Patreon is 9 months ahead of schedule on what you read here, so if you join for a single month, you get all that backlog in one shot.)
