This Is Not the End

Posted on August 15, 2022 by Jaycee

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.)

Faeries for Ukraine – March 2022

Posted on April 16, 2022 by Jaycee

Last month, I announced I would help Ukraine by making monthly contributions (for 12 months or until the war ended, whichever came first). Today marks the first donation of what I hope will be few (if the war ends) or many (if the war goes on). I will donate any amount in excess of $1,200 to the UNHCR. Here’s what I donated today for the month of March:

I apologize that the payment sent is in CAD, but there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to convert my PayPal to US because I’m in Canada. But you can do the math. 🙂

To my bakers: I can’t thank you enough for your support. And if you’re a reader but cannot afford to join us on Patreon, you can still help by sharing this message on social media and redirecting people to my Patreon page.
