Content

As you guys know, currently we have a scene in the main comic that features Andy and Waldren, and the side comic features Cooper and Andy.

Some of you have expressed a desire to see more River sooner. That's great! I would love to get involved in that while maintaining the current pace of the main comic. Options:

The side comic is written more loosely and has room for flexibility in where our focus is. If desired, I would make some edits and make room for River in Winter Blossoms so all three characters have equal-ish screen time (trying my best to not screw up canon of course). Please note that this will not take any scenes away from Coop and Andy that are already planned/written, as I would just do a little bit of plot blocking to slip Riv's time in there.

If folks are happy with the side story focusing solely on Coop and Andy's college days together, I can get a head start on product featuring Riv, such as a body pillow, wall scrolls, prints, and more~

I understand that currently, the side comic is only available to Patrons $3 and up. I wanted to make this poll available to all of you though, since you still contribute to the comics and you will read it anyway once it goes public.

Please select any and all that apply to you, and I will do my best to follow suit. Thank you guys, and see you soon! :3

Personally, I think WB should be left alone—everything that happened in 2 was climax built from years of tension, and the side comic will help reveal more of that—I think throwing River in there would cause the readers to lose focus on that dynamic.

I love that you allow us to have a say in polls like this. I think it really adds to the experience of the Patreon.

I'm a simple man, I see the option for more River, I click.

I'm not invested in that character, I honestly see her as a frustration point somewhere down the line. The reason this comic is so good is because it can be frustrating at points, so I'm not lost on it...but she's a distraction and I personally won't vote for more of her...unless she's a good tucker and not a she but a he...mtc

Currently, River interests me a lot more than anyone else. I think the story needs an infusion of new characters, since it’s been going for some time now. Whenever a new season of a television show begins, for example, there is almost always at least one new character deployed, and that means that said character will get screen time to flesh out their backstory and character development. I don’t think River has had much of that at all, so it’s beginning to feel wonky to me. And, after all, Vol 2 was originally meant to be Silver Shot, so River was intended to have an involved backstory, no? I think that tossing in a couple extra scenes in Winter Blossoms, to show that Andy and/or Cooper crossed paths with River a few years back, without even realizing it, would not only cover more ground, but it would also set things up to be even more interesting in the future. Just my take, as a writer and purveyor of literature.

I want to see the comic more often. My biggest issue is, was and remains how slow things post. I can't get invested. It's like being on a roller coaster that stops every ten feet. I'd rather cancel the side projects, the commissions and all the nonsense I'm not here for to have the comic. That's why I put my money out. Since all I can do is vote with my wallet, that is what I am doing. For now I continue to support. I don't know I will in the future.
