Hello Dragons,

Last week WT informed me that my statement of work (this is the contract that determines how many episodes Webtoon will pay you for) ended. Most creators I know will take a break during this time while they wait for legal to whip out a new SOW so I thought... what better time to take a Holiday break?

In all honesty, the deadline stress actually hit an all time high during Thanksgiving week when one of my assistants informed me ahead of time they would not be able to take on any panels that week and everyone was asking If I'd be able to make their Thanksgiving celebration. I am absolutely not placing any blame on these people, but it goes to show how any minor inconvenience that interrupts the deadline cycle will cause me to spiral really REALLY badly. For the first time in my life I actually experienced chest pains just THINKING about episodes and it scared me quite badly.

I made a little mini-comic about my struggles this year and how thankful I am knowing I have THE BEST readers in the world! Thank you for being by my side while we climb this mountain together. I have a lot of extra behind-the-scenes work to do, but my plan is for SZ to return early-mid March 2025 (I promise it's not as far away as you think).

Now that December is here, I'm going to take some time to breathe and work on some personal art/projects that I've been putting off (and also work out, sleep better, visit my sister/family whom I've hardly spoken to this year).

Thank you all so much for your support and patience and I wish you all a wonderful Holiday!

Stay tuned for some upcoming goodies!

Juni

Please rest well, June! I know you must hear this a lot, but no one expects you to churn out chapters for us like a machine. Your health is nro 1 priority! Hope you have a wonderful christmas and know that you have adoring fans all across the world, even here in icy Finland!

Please rest up!! Take care of yourself! I’ve been following your art for 4 years now and I’ve had so many ups and downs in life that reading comics have helped me escape but you need rest from creating too. You are not a machine and your art is part of you. Sometimes taking a break to nourish your creative side with whimsy and playfulness will help your overall physical health as well. Your fans will cheer you on no matter what 💕 have the best holiday season!

I'm so glad you're taking a breather. I hope you enjoy the holidays and some well deserved time off. 🫶🏻🥰

Hope you have a nice break! And hope 2025 can be a good year for finding balance with creating and not burning out. Even if that means less episodes or longer break. We will wait!

Enjoy your break. Sometimes I think when you are passionate about something, it makes it harder to take a break. But everyone needs a break. ❤️ It doesn't make you any less passionate.

I still struggle with this. Deep breaths, and if you ever feel alone or need help processing these creator struggles, just message me! We are most creative when we feel safe; it is only when we feel safe that we can have the freedom to be playful. It is kind for you to be happy. You are serving your audience by serving yourself. You are more than the work of your hands. Deep breaths!

We love you, Juni! Take care of yourself first. You can't pour water from an empty cup. I can reread should I get a craving for SZ (in physical form!), so you enjoy that well deserved rest!

Oh Juni, honey, that sounds awful! I'm so sorry! We don't want the episode if it makes you to feel like that! You deserve a break! When was the last time you had a vacation? Take breaks, it's ok! We want you happy and healthy, and then to read your story. You come first!

Take your time and focus on YOU! We as readers will be okay because you need to take time to enjoy what you do again. Not stress from it and especially give yourself chest pains from it. Take some time and destress queen dragon ❤️❤️

Take your time and focus on you. This time of year, everyone is off and with family and friends. We will be here and thank you for pouring yourself into the story that we all love.
