The plan was to finish all of Toph Heavy Part 3, delete everything here, post it to gumroad, and then post a page publicly once a week to sort of entice people into the gumroad purchase. I'm not sure if it makes sense to do that anymore. For starters, my goal is to keep this Patreon afloat so I can continue with Part 4, and all of the other stuff I want to do. Keeping it exclusively on Patreon, for the time being, could be hurting that goal. By not consistently posting and showing that "YES I AM WORKING ON THIS" people are starting to forget... to lose hype. We all know how algorithms go, and it feels like if I wait any longer, this project will be forgotten and the immense effort will be for nothing.Secondly, this coloring, while a lot better and totally worth it, does take some time. At 108 pages it could be another year before it's complete. That would just compound the problem. Gumroad would have to sell 1000 copies to justify it. Parts 1 and 2 only sold 250 copies.Finally, I may have to do other things, commissions, odd jobs, part time jobs, etc. to make ends meet and trying to do that with a once-a-week schedule would make doing those things easier. Part of me feels like I'm letting people down, and I'm very sorry about that. But I am very tired and I make rash/emotional decisions when I'm tired. I'm going to sleep on it and leave you guys with a poll to hopefully give me some guidance when I wake up.What are your thoughts?

More hype, more better. Might as well get mileage out of twitter while it's still afloat.

What I do is have a buffer and release a comic page every week and let people know that more pages are available for the $10 tier and it works. And then I package the entire chapter when it's complete and available for those patrons and put it up on Gumroad for those that don't want to pledge.

So let me understand if you keep this Patreon and a weekly page, there will be a Part 4? Because if so I'm down with waiting patiently week by until it's finished. Did that with last issue and have done with many comics and fsbfivs

I would release a weekly edited version

You're doing great. Release weekly. I actually got directed to this Patreon from seeing a part 2 leak and wanting to support. I think it may also draw in more patrons - in addition to the Gumroad purchases. Either way, you're doing great work.
