Future Comics for the SFW Tier~ Requesting your thoughts (Patreon)

Hey everyone~ 

So as many of you know, two of my long running comics wrapped up last month, Sweet Bear and my Coffee Shop AU. I'm going to jump back to The Dirt Crown for the lower tier, which should run for quite awhile, and for the next two months, I'm going to be working on my entry for Ravage for the higher tier. 

After my Ravage piece is complete, my plans are more vague. I had originally intended to continue A Study in Black, my vampire/demon Johnlock comic. It was originally written as a one shot that I did not intend to continue, but there seemed to be interest in it, so I started to promise a sequel. I had been very certain I was going to return to it when I promised that sequel.

However... Even as I drew the comic, I had been struggling with my feelings about the ship. The actions and words of the cast and crew have been souring my feelings about the show itself for a long time, and it's seeped into my enjoyment of the pairing as well. I don't really enjoy reading fic of them anymore, or looking at fanart/pictures of them. I enjoy drawing my shmoopy version of them where John is kind and loving and would never cheat on his spouse, and Sherlock was in love with him at first sight and just took a real long time to sort those feelings out. But the idea of launching into yet another long comic with these OOC versions of them, honestly and unfortunately, doesn't appeal to me at this point in time. 

The thing that DOES appeal to me, which I still enjoy the canon of and still read fic of and enjoy fanart of, and which I don't need a certain level of detachment from canon to enjoy, is Hannigram. When I first started promising more of A Study in Black, I had a vague idea of where I could take it, and I had wanted to slip in Hannigram near the end as a little nod. But as the months have passed, the role I wanted to give Hannigram in this story has grown, to the point where I'm wondering if I shouldn't just do something completely fresh.

I don't have any particular problems about ending stories and letting them lie. I like a complete story more than an ongoing one. And like I said, A Study in Black was designed as a one-shot, just a short exploration. I think the only regrets I would have about deciding to leave it as it is would be that I promised more of it to some folks. I don't like failing to deliver something I promised. 

I need to start writing for the next project very soon. So now that I've laid out my feelings on the situation, I'd like some feedback from you guys. It's going to be Hannigram, at least heavily so. But would you prefer a Hannigram comic that is set in that world of A Study in Black, or something fresh? I've done so many crossovers and AUs in single piece fanarts, I wouldn't mind picking one of those up and doing a full comic of that instead. Would you prefer another comedy? Soft romance? Horror? Please feel free to throw out any suggestions you have, and upvote anything you like, so I can see where people's interests lie.

Ultimately, I just wanted to get some feelings about this decision before I move forward, and give an opportunity for everyone to speak about it if they're particularly unhappy about it. For example, if you've specifically been pledging this whole time waiting for that particular Johnlock comic, I could see this choice being immensely frustrating.

I really hope this doesn't sour anyone's feelings on my work or my Johnlock especially, though. I definitely know how disappointing it is when an artist or writer I like explicitly states they are moving away from a pairing that I followed them for. So I know what a bummer it is to hear "I no longer enjoy this" from someone who was once making things I enjoyed. I've just never had an experience quite like Johnlock, where I was so deeply in love with it and then fell so harshly out of love with it; even pairings I liked decades ago are still appealing to me. It's been difficult for me to deal with that, especially on top of running this patreon and working on Johnlock projects here.

Sorry for the tl;dr~ Please feel free to share your feelings here or in DM, or ask me any questions; I hope that whatever project I finally settle on will be something you'll all enjoy :))
