hello, i have just finished reading your comic demon street. i was wondering are you no longer working on that? sorry if this has been asked alot, only info i could find was from 3 years ago.

Thank you for checking with me, I know I'm answering this quite late but I'll leave this in case others are also looking. I've said so in the author's comments on the Demon Street website, but it is not my plan to abandon the comic before it's done, and DS has a planned ending already written. Since I last updated I have been racing to meet deadlines on my other project, which is my only source of income. I will never give up on DS even if I have to change its format in order to finish it; however, I do not plan to do that either. I want to finish it as I planned, as a comic. When I have the time, I will return to it. I promise.

i’ve been reading your comic since about a year and a half in, and it’s truly amazing how much it’s grown! i’ve grown as an artist alongside it as well, and the comic means so much to me. i even have the print of sep and raina in the forest on my wall!! i’m so excited to read the rest and i can’t wait to see what you’ll do after. thank you so much for sharing this story and these characters with us

Thank you so much for reading!! it means a lot to me too that people find my characters and story resonant. I hope you enjoy everything else i have left to tell of it!

Essie is one of my favorite characters from the webcomic, Demon Street by @alizabug !

Give it a read if a world full of monsters and adventuring kids is your thing!

I was wondering what you thought of people being kin with your characters? Is that okay or not?

i’m fine with it. the way I see it, any work is a bit of a dance between author and reader; it’s already kind of a personal thing, reading a story, and everyone’s reading and conception of a thing is slightly different, so there are as many versions of my characters out there as there are people who read it, you know?

I only speak for me, though. I get why people are uncomfortable with it. I think it gets out of hand where people start thinking that their interpretation is the irrefutably correct one and start yelling at the author or like being rude to other people who like the same thing. and I also get why some authors aren’t into it, because your characters come from you and it also feels weird to have someone tell you that you have that kind of power over their sense of self. it’s jarring. ultimately though it’s not that much power, especially not coming out of webcomics. 

anyway, this is a musing way of making my point but there it is. I think kin stuff is a really interesting subculture, there’s a ton of nuance to it that I don’t really get, but I think it’s neat. I’m lucky enough to have never had the kind of readership that breeds super bad behavior, and it’s charming to think people are out there being one of the ants or something, it’s nice. you do you

Are you ok? I noticed the comic hasn't updated. Im fine with waiting, of course, I just wanna make sure that you, the artist, is ok because thats important!

hi, I’m not sure when this was sent or under what circumstances, but I am pretty bad at alerting tumblr to updates and delays at this point! If it seems like I should have updated and I haven’t, (rule of thumb) check twitter, because i’ve usually mentioned the delay there
