Where To Start?
🕑 Added 2019-02-20 23:13:14 +0000 UTCThis is probably the dumbest question, but I didn't have an obvious answer.
When I start releasing the old backlog of comics, should I start from #1 and go up, or should I start at #409 and go backwards?
I suppose it's easier from a narrative to start at #1, but for people who want to remember where we were at, perhaps starting from the end would make more sense.
What say you?

408, 409, 1, 2, 3... just so we have an idea where the last one left off

The comics still exist, but they are "individually protected" and need to be reactivated one at a time. That's a fair amount of work to undo, but the real issue isn't that—it's that backers of the IndieGoGo campaign paid $25 to get access to that backlog as a campaign reward. It wouldn't be right for me to turn around, then make the entire backlog available to Patreon backers for the cost of a few dollars paid on a single month. Thus, the plan is to reintroduce them a few at a time for the $2+ Patreon backers (and for those backers alone—my apologies to the $1 tier). At some point, I may make them available again on the main site, but I feel that backers should get exclusivity for a while since they're the ones paying to get the comic made.

I don't like backwards... Are the comics not available on the BF website anymore? Could go back to the last major storyarc's beginning. Or get out photoshop and do a Dragon Ball Z, "Last Time, on Blooming Faeries Z" recap strip or two? Made out of panels of other strips cut together with generous use of CSP's Narration Bubble tool?
