Wow with everything going on, I JUST missed that Plague has topped 500 pages in its archive! O_o *Throws Confetti*

I just realized it because I was curious what the archive had grown to.

Don't forget! I'm still looking for fan arts/comics/drabbles to help fill up the month of October for my planned hiatus! All participants will be recognized through my social media and linked to their favorite website!

Hey all! There's still a week left until my Deadline... But I'm going to extend it to September 30th... simply because it doesn't take me that long to post up bits of art on my sites.

Once again I'm asking for art to cover the span of time between October 2nd and November 2nd to help me keep the comic site updating while I'm taking care of some necessary bits of RL stuff. This is for either Gemutations: Plague or The Only Half Saga

If you're interested please give me a bitty heads up through DM or a response here and then you can send any entries to [email protected]

All contributed art will be featured each week with links back the artist's favorite website!

Please consider helping me out! Thank you in advance!

Though I'm currently on hiatus please be sure to continue stopping by...

I will be putting up some concept pieces for Michael (the follow up project to Plague) and some Devil's Own pieces for TOHS.

Additionally I'll be putting out some links to the awesome comics that have been accepted into the collective!

Do you still need fan art?

I'll take it if you've got some for me! I can always find a spot for it!

Two more weeks and the comics will be resuming! I"m hoping to have at least three updates in queue by the time November 2nd rolls around! Be on the lookout for more awesome concepts!

A Pitch for Patreon!

If you're a fan of the comics I make - the stories I write - Please consider contributing to help me with my hosting/production costs!

I have tiers ranging from $1 up to $25 and rewards that range from sneak peeks at concept work to finished comic pages ahead of posting on the main sites! From Digital Downloads to Kindle E-Books!

I've recently had an attrition in my Patrons and could use a bit of a boost!

Thank you for your consideration and I hope you will consider helping support my efforts!

Sooo...

I sat down this evening and did something I normally never do... Thumbnailed.

I rather had to considering I need to know if Plague will end before the new year starts. Turns out at the rate I'm going now, it won't. O_o

As planned, I have five more pages to do PAST December 4th. At a page a week that's going to put me Mid-January before I'm done. Which of course messes with my plans to get Michael on Line by January 1st. It also mucks with the idea of posting "First Christmas" in the days leading up to Christmas.

So... (this is still in flux mind you)

I am toying with the notion of putting TOHS on hiatus until I can get the next five Plague pages knocked out. This will allow me to bump up Plague's schedule to twice a week - which would put the wrap up neatly within the middle of December. That in turn will allow me to format and post "First Christmas" as a series of short prose passages to tie the end of Plague in with the beginning of Michael.

With luck I can get these pages knocked out this week/weekend and then I can rearrange the schedule to post those pages 2x per week.

As for TOHS, Pages are going to post through the 30th of November with the buffer I currently have. If things go the way I hope, I should be able to jump back into TOHS production by next Mondayish and NOT break the cycle.

If wishes were horses we all could ride right? Well here's hoping! Wish me luck y'all! And thanks for your support!

O_O Okay... deep breath... I'm getting ready to draft the FINAL PAGE of Plague....

WiTH...

There was a point I wasn't sure this day was going to happen! O_O

If you're interested... you can catch all the updates to page 25 on my Patreon Page for $2 a month!

If you want to wait, you certainly may catch the updates 2x a week on Mondays and Fridays! Next update is December 1st at 10 PM PST! Updates are queued through December 11th!

Okay, so Patreon has pulled a stupid and put the onus of the fees on patrons...

The move has had me reconsidering how I ask for donations for support of my work. So this morning, I looked at the options and decided that a Paypal donation button would be a decent alternative to my Patreon.

This donation button will allow readers to help support Darwin Comics through one time donations of any denomination.

If you'd like to see a subscription button please let me know.

Hello again! I am getting EXCITED! I am well on my way to rolling out Michael Webcomic on January First! It is my first Teen rated offering to the webcomics world! All content is appropriate for ages ten and up! And that's one of the reasons I'm excited!

The site is up and running, covers and credits are queued! I've even updated Darwin Comics to reflect the incoming title! (Patreon link and bookstore links are temporarily removed until Plague is finished and moved to the completed comics page!)

Please take a few moments to poke about the sites, and definitely let me know if there is anything out of place or displaying oddly! The more eyes the better!

You can even RSS the site to get updates as they happen!

I've added the "Other Comics" Page to Michael's site!

Michael is now LIVE! Please feel free to take a look round! Enjoy!

Going to be a bit of a slow start, but there will be regular Monday updates through the entire month of January!

Some musings for the day...I'm coming very close to the end of the current TOHS Chapter, Bittersweet Memories... And that means there is only one chapter to go before this story arc is DONE... O_o....

Depending on how things go, I will probably be done with this story arc by the end of summer.

When that happens TOHS will be going on a Hiatus. There are many a reason for this, and some need to stay mum... but a lot of it has to do with the idea that I need to do a LOT of prep work for the next story arc "The Devil's Own"

The story has a completely different setting, a cast of main characters that will be quite large, and some really detailed architectural layouts...

So I will need some months to prep for that. I wanted to let people know my plans early so it won't come as surprise when I say OOP going on hiatus!

More details to come in future months as I get closer to that major changeover!

So I broke down and made a Discord Channel called Darwin's Domain.

You can step into The Lounge to just chat in general. Darwin Comics has all the news about what's up and coming in TOHS and Michael, while Darwin Publishing will be a focal point for all of my news about the Novel side of the house!

I invite you to swing by, introduce yourself, ask questions and just get friendly in general!
