First off, I just want to say how amazing it’s been to see all the excitement around the idea of a summer reread! It genuinely made me so happy to know others were as into it as I was.
That said, I wanted to give an update—I’ve had some unexpected work stuff come up and it’s gotten a lot busier and hectic than I anticipated (a colleague of mine left so it means my workload will increase until they found someone to replace her). I’m realizing I won’t be able to give the reread the time and energy it deserves right now 😔 I don't want to start the reread and then give up after a week. This has been an ongoing issue for me. I start a lot of rereads, but never actually finish them due to a lack of motivation, time and energy.
But! Since our beloved comic is still on hiatus, I was thinking it might actually be better to hold off and plan the reread closer to the return date. That way we can all refresh our memories together and build up hype for the comeback. I think a lot of people are waiting for an actual return date before they decide to engage in the community again and find the motivation to do a reread.
If you want to reread by yourself and post about it, feel free to do so of course! You don't have to wait until we do a collective reread.
Thanks so much for understanding—and for being such a lovely community. I’ll definitely keep everyone posted when the timing feels right again. 💜
