The main update is that regular weekly updates here will resume this Sunday :)

While I'd originally planned on posting 7DS publicly at the same time, I'll be waiting a bit longer for that. There's been a couple of family health problems recently, and I don't want my focus to be divided right now. So public launch will probably be end of May or early June?
In the meantime I've drawn chibis for the endcard/promotion/something-or-other (I just wanted to draw chibis)

And this'll probably be the square thumbnail, and vertical thumbnail for webtoon canvas, unless I change my mind?

I'm thinking about a blurb/summary but... uh... I rarely read summaries so I suspect I'm a terrible judge of what makes for a good one (I usually skim the first episode or first few pages to decide if I want to read a webcomic.)

Those of you who do read webcomic summaries - do you prefer longer summaries that introduce the character/conflict, or short pithy summaries that are more like the genre tags on AOC? Both seem pretty common, and I'm not sure which to go with.

I'm currently considering:
Tess is a responsible, professional gorgon. She's organised. She's always early. Sure, she has a bit of a crush on a coworker, but that's only improper if you act on your feelings, and Tess would never. Never, never, ever. But when her crush asks for a favour, Tess finds she can't possibly say no, and her carefully constructed life spirals in the worst (best?) possible way.

or

A sapphic monstergirl romcom about pining, adulting, and the masks we all wear to fit in.

Which do you prefer?
(If webtoon did paragraph breaks I'd do one and then the other, but with no paragraph breaks it's too messy/long to have both.)
Marco suggested I put together promotional art with a sort of blurb on it.
Marco, is this the sort of thing you had in mind?

I've gone through the archives and updated the SFX/speech bubbles/etc for consistency, and made a few small art changes. (I'm valiantly resisting the urge to just completely redraw a few scenes haha, I like the newer art so much more than the older art. Feeling like I've improved as an artist is a good thing but still, augh XD)

I haven't uploaded the updated archives to patreon yet because I might not quite be done editing things - I want to skim through the archives on a few different screens to see if there's any colour adjustments I want to do - and editing patreon posts can be quite time consuming.

So google drive only for now:

On the subject of patreon, thank you so much to everyone who's upgraded their pledge (!!!) when I don't even have proper tiers yet. It's super kind of you ; - ;

Thanks also to the new patrons who've shown up in the past few weeks! I really appreciate the support, and hope you enjoy Seven Days in Silverglen <3

(There have been quite a few new pledges recently, and I'm not sure why or where you came from - but if anyone's been going around telling their friends to pledge because walkingnorth's about to release a new webcomic - thanks so much, that's really cool of you :D)
