Did I go too far? (Patreon)
Content
Hello! I noticed a few people dipped out of the Patreon after the last update.
One goal I had for this comic was to give people an experience that I as a reader would be satisfied with and would rate highly. That means updating at least (bi-)weekly, offer additional art, and always be grateful. So I make this post not to complain but to invite feedback. If you lost interest in my comic or dislike the way the story has progressed, I absolutely welcome you to speak your mind. I value negative feedback just as much as positive.
It is understandable to not enjoy the continuous downward spiral that is Mostly (h)Armless. My only defense is that I was never given any inclination from the audience that they thought things were getting too much. I am 6 pages away from finishing the comic (total page count is 75) so I can no longer make changes to the story. But my memory is not reset between comics so I can still take whatever wisdom bestowed on me on to my next project.
Everyone is free to come and go as they please. Nobody owes me anything, not even feedback. And I understand that one could end their pledge for a myriad of reasons; lack of funds, other people that they would rather support, etc. And not necessarily because they dislike my comic. I just want you to know that you are allowed to say so if you are dissatisfied. Some people might think it is confrontational, or perhaps they just don't have much to say and prefer to read in silence. And that is okay. But the door is always open. I want to get better at this. And I want people to enjoy my comics. And your thoughts are an invaluable resource.
The comic will be finished no matter what, even if I must reach the ending alone. But it's always more fun to share the experience with other people. And if you still have to go before it's over, I thank you for the support up until now!
Oh and have a teensy tiny little glimpse of the finale as a reward for reading all of this. One frame I was quite pleased with.
See you next Friday.
