Hey platinum people! I messed up; I should have made this post about this earlier, but I was focused on finishing False Spring and it slipped my mind. So anyway!

As False Spring was finishing up, I wasn't that happy with my more ambitious world-building comic chapter drafts, "That Golden Age" and "Avalon" specifically. TGA 1.1 wasn't successful and I think I need more practice before I tackle something else like it. So I drafted another comic, "Little Willy", which you've been seeing bits and pieces of, and I'm pretty stoked on this story. 

SO, no comic poll this time, we're going straight into LW, because as much as I love Aaron and Jesse, I also need a break from THAT storyline after 10 months! 

I know most of you platinum folks are supporting me because you like my work a lot, and not because the platinum tier has many perks. Because I'm not living up to my end by giving a comic poll, I understand if some of you want refunds on this month, contact me by DM if that's the case.

HOWEVER, though there is no poll, there is still a platinum perk. If you want to see the first 1/3 of the draft, check out the attachment! Obviously, it's got spoilers, so don't look at it if you don't want to be spoiled! Also, content warning for homophobia and homophobic slurs!

I want to keep bringing high-quality stories to you guys and I'm sorry I wasn't able to deliver another draft that I was happy with this time around, but I think the writing and content for LW is much higher than anything I've done before. It's a gay romance set in the 1950s at a Jesuit Catholic university and it contains a lot of my personal feelings.

As always, love and appreciate you guys for letting me do what I do! Feel free to comment or ask questions!

Oi, Mister Purple... In this case, I think you've made a very well-reasoned and justified decision in regards to go straight to Little Willy. Your motivation and passion is what I believe is what keeps us people interested and willing to support your work. Hell, with all these teasers, bits and pieces already, I'd say I'm already invested! However, if we can't vote on the comic as intended, I hope... nay, demand... That you shall guarantee us more Aaron and Jesse! I wouldn't want to allow deer representation be swept away! :P Anyways, the draft looks amazing, and I can only sit here in insincere patience for it to be released to us with time. Keep up the good work! ~ Jegermaistro

The new comic sounds great. Once again tackling tough issues without reservation. Can't wait to see the final draft.

The draft was fantastic. I can't wait to see the finished comic.

Thanks! And yeah A&J will be back for sure, I just need a break from their story for a bit. I’m glad everyone’s so attached to those boys!

Karl Watson

As for A & J, yes, it's a wrench for me to give them up. Aaron, especially the Aaron of the first series, is so totally off the charts, a kind-of ultimate male. At least that's how I react to him. I've enjoyed the extra bits of them that didn't appear in the story line. Perhaps you'll include them someday ?

As for this new story, I'm enjoyin

Karl Watson

g it VERY much, on every level. Bravo and thank you. It's obvious you're growing in strength in every way. You're a tremendous talent.

I’ll be putting time into thinking about their next chapter! I want it to be really special. Glad you enjoy em so much!

Honestly, it did not matter to me if it's A&J, Little Willy, or something else - the point was in having that _discussion_ in the first place, no matter how it ends. A voice heard and rebutted (or ignored) is still better than no voice at all. As much as I do still support the new direction, I will likely consider (slightly) downgrading until I'm sure this tier is meaningfully different. I do wish you all the best and hope you can understand.

I won’t argue with a feeling! I’m definitely sorry I wasn’t able to provide more comic drafts that I was happy with, but I’ll always do what I think is best for my supporters in the long term and I’ll do my best to be transparent about it. If you don’t feel that a preview of the comic is a good enough for platinum, I’d encourage you to pick another tier
