Hello, dearest Patrons <3 It's been long enough, and I don't want to keep y'all waiting any further. I'll keep this short and sweet -- I'm in the middle of a contractual discussion with Webtoon, and while I can't reveal any details, I wanted to give y'all a heads up that MPL Season 3 will not be launching on the Webtoon Originals platform anytime soon.

I'll provide further updates as soon as I hear from Webtoon, but I'm obliged to you guys as my Patrons to reveal at least this much, especially those of y'all who are here solely in support of MPL. Hopefully this update will allow y'all to reconsider your Patreon pledge for the following month 🙇🏻‍♀️ 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️

I'm still actively (and excitedly) working on other Patreon-exclusive stuff, like my Secret Garden mini-comics and whatnot! so if you're sticking around, you can look forward to at least this much from me <3

That's all from me, for now. Take care and talk to y'all soon! <3

(In other irrelevant news, we rescued a rambunctious 1 year old kitty a week ago, and I'm so wiped from introducing everyone to each other and am so done with cats, lol.)

I’ve been waiting for more MPL! I’m so sad it will not be continuing on WEBTOON anytime soon 🥲 I really love that comic and the depth and story that has come with it.

Sarah Mahapure

I’m sad to hear about MPL because it’s been so long and I miss Tora and Poppy so much! But I hope most of all that you are happy are healthy. Let them work for you, not the other way around! I’ll always be here to support xx

Pleione

Oh dear... 😣 I hope the series DOES eventually continue! Love and miss all the characters! 🩷

CINTHIA V

I hope everything goes well and we can enjoy mpl once more, you have my full support

Banphrionsas

You caught my interest with MPL during the pandemic but I’m here to stay because I adore you and your art! You have a lifelong fan in me, no matter where your path takes you ❤️

Banphrionsas

Also pls show us the kitties!! I’m sure everyone would appreciate little fuzzy babies as well as your art! 🥰

Mykala Kearney

We will be extra diligent on the FB group. WT ruining it for everybody man.

Lilydusk

Y'all don't wait up for me, but keep an open mind at the same time. That's all I can say at this point 🙏🙏

Tonya White

You’re correct I’ll edit my comment. It will just be a while longer

KIMBERLY CRETIN

I’m fostering 3 little kittens, they are 4 weeks old and I got them a week ago too (Hi5 🖐🏼) 🐱🍼❤️. Big supporter of your work, I’ll be so happy when MPL comes back 🫶🏼

Lilydusk

I don't even wanna know what they've been saying, ugh

Violet

Whatever you have for us, whenever it's ready, I'm here for it. 🐯 🌸

NurseLaura

Pretty sure I've said it in the past, but I came for MPL and stayed for the extra bonuses lol. Love all the secret garden posts and even just the updates on how life is going. Reminds me we're all just trying to adult lol. ❤

Mykala Kearney

Been real quiet, but no worries. Just like with Let's Play you will have a following for wherever you decide to go love. ❤️

Lilydusk

💗💗💗🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

Nubia

Whatever Webtoon is doing is costing some of the best artists and writers I've seen. I hope it works out, but if it doesn't? Let's us know which platform to switch to 😂

BlueCaty

I'm here on the long run no matter if or where MPL returns. My support goes to you, always. 😘💙

Nissa

Lily, at this point, do you really think we are here exclusively for MPL ? You have attracted the attention of many people here, your universe, your art, your humor. At first, we came for your story YES, today, we are here for who you are. You won’t get rid of us that easily 😂 (And we NEED a picture of those cats)

Lilydusk

I'll be right here where y'all found me 💗💗💗

Lilydusk

Trying so damn hard 😫😫🙏🙏🙏

LuckieCharm86

Webtoon has been known to screw over their creators with the contracts, so only sign something if it *actually* benefits you. That said, while I did originally join your Patreon because of MPL, I love all the other stuff you're doing. So I'll be sticking around. ❤️

Emily Basso

Love love love love love! I firmly believe you could die and I’d still be paying patreon subscriptions to your estate 🤣🤣 viva la smut and viva la annoying kitties 😁😁❤️‍🔥

Life is beautiful

No no no. You can't get rid of me that easily. I am here for the long run and where ever it is you move MPL too I shall follow and hell yeah KITTEN RESCUED!!! Did you choose a name? As for MPL where ever you decide to launch it I will follow. Yes I got here because of Tora and MPL but I love your energy also. You pulled me in to a world I knew nothing about. So No you can't get rid of me. 😆 🤣 😂 So chin up you have us loyal as always your fans! We love you!!!

Lin Bon

I’m here for everything you draw and write. Do what’s best for you.

Helene Caprilozzi

I've loved ya from the beginning and we've got the SG so you'll always have my luv n support for your art :)

LyricWitch

Appreciate the update. While we all miss MPL greatly, we're not going anywhere. Hugs, and good luck with the kitties!! ❤❤❤

LemonTendie

Thank you for the update! I know I'm not going anywhere. I know we all miss mpl, but it wouldn't be around if it wasn't for you. Take care of yourself and hopefully the chaos of the new kitty will calm down so you can enjoy it all.

Elizabeth Martinez

As long as the announcement is not MPL is canceled I can live. I came to Patreon to support your work as a whole.

Jenny Wooten

I feel like webtoons is going to tank themselves. I'm sure they lost several people when Lore Olympus ended. And they lost the author for Let's Play. I know of several others that have pulled out and are using Tapas or Manga. I hate that you're having issues with them Lily. We certainly miss you. But we'll be here for whatever you want to throw our way. =) ❤️

Katrina Kinney

Thanks for the update! Keep the Secret Garden content flowing and do what is best for you for MPL. We’re here for you.

Beat.space.nine

Thats ok lily, I can't speak for everyone else but I'm sticking around. Webtoon clearly has a lot of issues internally so all you can is your best & be sure you get the best contract for you! Don't sell yourself short; EVER! I love cats, but they can be the worst! I hope the introduction process gets easier💕

Annie

Thank you for the update! MPL is one of my most favorite works ever! I love Poppy and Tora- who they each are, their banter (!!!), their growth, etc. I love your art style, the use of color/light, etc. The world you've created, the easter eggs, the real emotion, the foreshadowing, the humor, I love all of it! Wherever MPL is I'm there. 😊 Sending lots of care and support your way!

larosamorada

Hope everything goes well with the contract negotiations, these things are never easy. As much as I want a conclusion to MPL (and I always will), it's not worth it if WT won't meet you in the middle. That said...could a girl get some Ulaan smut? Asking for a needy friend 😍😂🙌🏻

NoriLynore

I'm so disappointed with Webtoons. How many more fantastic artists are they gonna screw over? It's so sad that your creativity and storytelling suffers from them not having their shit together. While I do hope you get to finish MPL I am here for your beautiful art and support that. I'm just gonna put it there that if you ever publish MPL in physical form, I am 100% there to buy it.

Gab La

Thx for the update! Keep up the fight. This is your story, not theirs! Who must not be named is getting a not so good reputation, out there, on the internet. Anybody who observe a bit can see a predatory business behavior. This is abhorrent to want to control the creative content from creators, outside their platform. We stand behind you, Lily. xoxo

NurseLaura

Lol I know 😭 and my 5yr old tries to complain and I'm just like "kid, this is the easiest it will ever be" 🤣

Luna

Thank you for the Update, 😘

Sarah Hernandez

MPL was the first Webtoon I read when I downloaded the app in December of 2019 and I you bet I will not be going nowhere as it holds a special place in my heart🫂🫶❤️

K. Weak

I'm here for the long haul ❤️

Cherie

Here to stay, but really appreciate your transparency. Congrats on the new family member. ❤️

Anja

What a pity, but thanks for the update!

Anja

Oh and: I do hope you still get to do what YOU want!

Kirsten

My Anxiety is through the roof hearing this . Hopefully , if not webtoons , you’ll be able to continue MPL on another platform or somehow solo ( sorry not sure how much of this works but I’m hoping for the best ). I really hope things work out Lily and these people at Webtoons do right by you . SMH how unfortunate .

Rebecca M.

i’m a new fan of the series (started it last week) and i’ve already re read it three times, along with asuras bride and patron exclusives (they got me through many sleepless nights). i love love love the story, the plot, and don’t even get me started on the art because i won’t shut up abt how absolutely amazing it is and always has been. but back on track, i had also just upgraded my tier level last night, not even for more content but just because i wanted to support as much as i possibly can. but i will not be changing my tier as i feel its best to support you now than ever, thank you so much lily for your amazing work you truly must be heaven sent. ps, i have four little heathens (kitty cats) running around the house and for the love of god i’ve been through the “kitty blues” so much lol. maybe some future kitty content in the future 🫣 i’d take a secret garden post that’s just a picture of the kitty tbh. love you lily and keep fighting. 🩷

Kayla

A few years ago MPL was recommended in a FB book group I was in and I had never read any webtoons or comics in my life. But MPL got me hooked fast and I loved it so much. I hope everything works out in your favor and I look forward to reading more about Tora and Poppy’s story in the future.

Annette Erdtsieck

I heard that Webtoons can be very dodgy to the authors. So kinda not surprised things aren't going well. Where there's a will there is a way to fairly publish this series online where the author is treated fairly as the readers are.

Annette Erdtsieck

Just thinking of this story being animated, wouldn't that be awesome?

Nicole Vogt

PARTY! 🥳 Way to go for sticking it to the man! 💪 I'm here to stay because you're so dang cool, and I love ALL the creations and or thoughts you share with us. Also, CAT PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

Julie Skrobot

I support whatever needs to happen! If it's moving MPL to a different platform, I'll follow. If it's just simply waiting for the right agreement to be struck, I'll wait. If you just post it here, I'll read it. Whatever you need to do, we are here!

Fallow

I hope whatever happens you get the best end of the deal <3 And omg, kittens are INSANE. At least yours is at the age where they've *semi* calmed down and they're not having parties in the litter box.

Kristen Valentine

I'm in this for the long haul! MPL is amazing and you're an amazing/talented person. I'll support you even through a wait

What The Watt

I would pay money for that ♥️♥️♥️

What The Watt

I'll follow MPL wherever it goes, but, if I'm being really truly honest, I'm here for Secret Garden🫣🤫🤭. If I were going to cancel this sub (I'm not, but if I were) it would be due to not enough SG content. As long as I can get MPL *somewhere,* I'm good. I'm here for that sweet, sweet spice 😘

Corinne Kalet

It seems like every one of my favorite Webtoon authors/artists has issues with the “powers that be” at Webtoon. I’m here for MOL, SG, WIPs - whatever you post, I’m in! I’ll also follow MPL wherever it goes, if it moves. Lily, really I’m here for you and your talent - I’m not going anywhere. I hope wherever you land, you are treated fairly. And good luck with the cats! Intros are rough!

Count Doodu

I'm here for the truly important things: the cat tax of your new kitty

Nanner Bananer

WEBTOON is notorious for its better authors/artists jumping ship so this doesn’t surprise me. But I’ll follow MPL wherever it goes. 💚 Just keep creating!! 🥰

Tabbris

I’m onboard for MPL wherever it goes, but I’m DEFINITELY sticking around for Secret Garden content. 🥰

Mangaread

im not going anywhere, i will wait and wait cause your work is worth it. just miss them sooo much. Make sure everything goes as you wish.

alyssa melendez

I definitely am not loyal to webtoon so if you jump to another platform I WILL be following

Jazmine Patton

I’m here and loyal to you not webtoon so whatever we gotta do or wherever we gotta go it shall happen

Victoria

I’m here for you because I support you, and your work. You do what you need to do. I’ll follow you wherever you go. Even if that means you just post here. 🥰

Olga Kolusenko

Whatever platform works for you works for me!

Kristi

Honestly, idk why bother with WebToon. Just post yer full commic on here, no restrictions, no fuss.

Annette Erdtsieck

Yep quite a few have left due to being treated badly.

Savannah Stevenson

We will follow you (and Tora) wherever you go! We’re all too invested at this point! Lol

Rose

Webtoon is trying to exert too much control over the work, ownership of the characters and story, and restricting artists from other sources of income. We obviously don't know what is happening with your situation, but I'd never want an artist to give up their rights and creative freedom. Go to another platform or open a different Patreon tier for the comic if you need to. People will follow and maybe they will learn to work with their artists better. Good luck and know you have tons of supporters.

Nicolette

I will follow you wherever you decide to go. If you decide to stay, I’ll stay. I’ve been a patron since the “community” days. I’ll continue to be a patron until the day you stop creating content. Also, thank you for letting us know. 🫶🏻

Kathleen Denney

I'm here to support you as an artist and because I love all of your work, including MPL. I've been seeing many folks abandon Webtoons as a platform to protect their work, and then I follow them elsewhere. Wherever you need to go, I'll mosey in that direction when it's public.

Devin Burleson

MPL was a suggested post on fb sometime back and that's how I found it and webtoon. Lik3 others have said, I'll go where you do. Your work is my entire investment in that app. Take no crap. Independent artists make the world go round.

noodlek21

I stopped reading Webtoons comics except for MPL when all the drama went down on Let’s Play and I heard how they’ve been doing some artists dirty. It’s been said here by many, your base will follow you. Lot’s of other sources out there, Tapas, Manta. That’s where I’ve been spending my sub dollars and supporting artists for the past 2 years.

Darla (Tora’s THOT)

4 cats bro???? I’m always here for the sgs! Yes, more porn plz 🙏🏻😭

Ms. CherryBlossom

I’ll be here cheering for you ☺️ and always supporting your amazing artwork 😉.

larosamorada

She can't, WT contracts require partial ownership of the work and exclusivity to publishing it on their website. There's usually a timeline on those contracts as well - typically 3 years past the last episode airing. So while she can post sneak peeks & episode stills (sans dialogue) here, she can't post the full comic episodes. Not for a long while.

Lilly336

I’d do what she weeps for the devil does, just release on Patreon I’d buy it heck I already am!

Lilly336

That way we can have all the smut!

Lilly336

Oh what happened with let’s play? I loved that WEBTOON!

Sharonda

I will follow you wherever you go! I LOVE MPL!

Carolyn Shank

Please just let us know the secrets you've been keeping! I'm happy to pay to read at this point I'm invested til the end!!! ❤️🌺

Annette Erdtsieck

4 cats? I have two and that's enough. Like bloody toddlers and so FUSSY. The law here only allows 2 cats and the law will change soon so they are not to leave their house/land. Mine are indoor cats.

Cristina Wong

Whats the name of the new kitten??

noodlek21

I follow her on Insta and she mentioned in a post that she had a contract issue, TLDR her story was getting too racy, and from what it seemed like, she pulled herself out and now we are in that 3 year wait until she can bring it to another platform to continue it on. In the meantime she’s been doing kickstarter’s and I heard she’s bringing a different comic, potentially, to Manta. Of course this is all just what I could infer from things and by no means do I know all the facts or inside info.

Amy

I have 5 cats…..all rescued and they just love messing with each other ie swatting each other for no reason 🤣🤣 it’s funny as all hell

Karoline Oliveira

I'm gonna write here something similar to what I wrote to another artist that also had her work on webtoon and had issues (I also pay membership for her patreon content). You should always look out for yourself and your art. YOUR art is YOURS and one else's. People who trully appreciate your art will not leave you. For us, it does not matter what platform you use. What matters is that you are able to share your art and receive fair compensation and appreciation for what you are delivering. Take as long as you need to make a decision that is best for you. We will wait and support you the way we can. Thanks for being an amazing artist!

Keely

Ive read from other artists that webtoon doesn’t treat the authors very well. Do what you need to do girly!

theashway

Same, five small demons 🤣😭

Raven White

I decided today that I needed to support you on here cause I've loved MPL since it's been out. I'll be supporting you regardless what happens! Your amazing and deserve it!

pmisojog

hi! just got onto your patreon after finishing rereading MPL... unfortunately this isn't the first time webtoon has caused issues for artists, it's so disappointing that a company like webtoon does stuff like this to independent artists. we LOVE your work, and where ever you decide to post S3, best believe WE WILL FOLLOW!!! we love you, please take care and we look forward to more updates :))

Jennifer Starr

I'm glad to see you're okay. I'm sorry for the issues with webtoon, though I thought that might be it after what happened with another I was reading on there. Good luck and I hope they do the right thing by you and the other artists dealing with this.

tkd sis

It's been 3-4 months since this. Any new updates?

Randerson1376

Yay! So excited to hear the news. Best of luck with everything. All will come in due time. 💙
