October 2024 Update
🕑 Added 2024-10-26 17:55:23 +0000 UTCHello, dear readers!
I am here again for a monthly update, and this time, I’ll reveal a little bit about my new GL Project!
Its acronym is DRM! It’s a GL story with supernatural/mystery themes! It will be published in the traditional print manga format, with the intention of being translated into Japanese. When M&DQ was ongoing, it caught the eye of a few Japanese readers, but the format and the lack of a translation were barriers to entry so I’d like to try making my new series more accessible to them.
DRM is mainly a gift to my younger self. It’s the kind of story I was looking for back when I was a kid, though the series definitely isn’t for kids with some of the subject matter it’ll tackle.
A SNEAK PEEK ON THE CHARACTER DESIGNS!
The Main Character and her Sidekick/ Love Interest:
Do you have a hunch on what the story will be? I’ll reveal it next time ^_^
How’s the Project Going?
I just finished writing Chapter 1 this month; I wanted it to be impactful so it took quite a while. Each chapter is estimated to be 60-100 pages. November will be dedicated to storyboards + edits + pitching the story to my agent for more edits and improvements in the overall story outline. Patreon supporters should be able to read the comic firsthand next year, either in February or March! I’ll be sure to post more sneak peeks and illustrations in the meantime until the private release here on Patreon.
Why the switch from WEBTOON to Manga?
I believe going for a manga format will allow me to focus more on the story, without the pressure to release it weekly. Besides, I’ve always wanted to produce manga! I imagine the scenes in this story will look good in black and white.
I hope you’re hyped because I am! The planning part is frustrating, but I’m in love with this project.
That’s all from me for now! Thanks for your support as always, and see ya!

Glad to have joined up in time to see this exciting news :) I like the increased scope of meaningful artistic decisions and expressions that can be conveyed through paneling and layout in a traditional comic format, so this is especially thrilling, and I hope you will have all the best with the new project!

Exciting!

I just started following you on Patreon! Thank you for making GL content! It can be so hard to find in any media honestly. But M&DQ was apart of my journey in accepting a part of myself that I had been suppressing for a long time. I'm a newbie artist and hope to eventually make GL comics myself! I can't wait to read this Manga with it comes out!!

Thank you Fred. I hope my new story will be to your liking.

It will be available to patrons first, but there will be plans to physically publish it.

To be more specific, I didn't become a Patreon of M&DQ until almost a year into the story line. There are tons of manga, webcomics and anime available for free, after all, and I only want to financially support the best ones. I have so far only done the Patreon thing with 3 webcomics, and one of these (bummer!) went belly up some months ago, so now I am down to two. Your stuff is good enough that I have no hesitation in continued support. looking forward to the new creation!
Fred Newsom
I tried to check out your pal Cinnyamon's work, but it seems that one cannot access her actual comics unless one beomes a Patreon. Now, the lowest tier is certainly cheap enough that I could afford it, but as a matter of principle I only support authors I really like.

When this Manga comes out, where will I be able to buy it?

Congratulations! I can't wait to see your new project's release! As for the storyline... judging by the red glow to the eyes of the woman on the left, I'm going to guess "Vampires."
Faith
Let me just say, I am so proud of you. You've come such a long way and I absolutely can't wait to see what the future holds for you. I'm also dying to read your new manga and cannot wait for the release! Keep up the good work. 💕
Ryoko Stara
Awesome can't wait to read them ^^
Color-LES
Yes! gonna upload it online
Ryoko Stara
Would the manga of both be Accessible to world wide ?
Fred Newsom
Interesting. I have read many manga/manhwa/webcomics and never noticed this. Thanks for the explanation.
Color-LES
Hi Fred. Manga is in black, white and gray tones, and is read in traditional comic format. Webtoon is colored and in scrolling format made to be read in mobile phones.
Fred Newsom
Hi LES, Fred N here. I am uncertain what the distinction is here between formats. I always considered online Manga and Webtoons to be pretty much synonymous. How do they differ?
Tiffany Nguyen
Can’t wait for the new series and wishing you all the best with the printing process of M&DQ!
Arika
I am so hyped for this. The main girl looks so stunning I didn't realize she was carrying a scythe until just now. I'm also happy with the switch from Webtoons to manga, even if it means we'll see less color

TWO TO THREE YEARS?! They're doing you a massive disservice, making you wait that long...
Color-LES
Wow yeah, you're not far off LOL

We're still working on the M&DQ physical book release! My agent is still talking with WEBTOON to see what offers they have for us and the communication has been very slow. The book will most likely come out in 2-3 years too because the pub industry moves at a snail's pace.

Loving the characters already! My manga shelf need more yuri 😏
Snow Mexican
Ooooh, tomboy x elegant girl. My hunch on the story, girl on the left is an adventurer or some sort, while the girl on the right is a guild person, you know the ones who sit at the counters. So its gonna be that sort of thing. Can't guess much more of the story than that. But whatever it is, I dig the characters.
Judge Fidler
I'm 100% looking forward to this, and I'm not changing my pledge! I am curious, however. Regarding M&DQ, is there still no word on where one can buy the complete uncensored series?
TwiDashFan
Yay! This is so exciting! Can't wait to see it!

Can we guess what DRM stands for? I'll start: Dlesbians Rlesbians Mlesbians

Added benefit that it’s much easier to get to print when you don’t have to rejig webtoon format into a book.
Adele Jackson-Gibson
Appreciate you!!
Ichigo69
How are you going to distribute it? I'm assuming not Webtoons....
Devon Devoe
Yooo they look awesome. Very excited about the format switch as well, looking forward to seeing your new work .

Akko
I'm so excited for your next piece of work!
Color-LES
Okay!
Astar
Hyped that this is happening!
Infi
Oh wow this is so exciting!! The characters look amazing and I cannot wait to hear/see more about it!! I would like to ask, may I share the picture of the characters with other members of a group chat I’m in? (It’s manga/yuri focused and we’re all M&DQ fans eagerly awaiting your next project. 🥰)

I can’t wait for this 😁. I am going to love it 😁
