Hello my supporters! You are true bad asses! Tapastic has ended their support program so I invite you to please continue your support over on our Patreon. I will do my best to keep the rewards coming and the chapters uploading! Thank you for all you do. https://www.patreon.com/fallenmangastudios?ty=h
As you probably know, Tapastic is ending the support program on Nov 30, 2015
For those who didn't know, here is their message :

I saw that several days ago! I feel a little bit lost about that, because the only way to be supported now is with Patreon.
And we saw before that my readers don't like Patreon, soo... XD
Well, I will open again my Patreon page for those who want to continue to support me, it will be the same as the support program here, with early access before Tapastic, and I will do my best to make my Patreon page more attractive :D
And of course, I will continue to update pages here on Tapastic for everyone, 2 or 3 weeks after Patreon!
I will delete the two last episodes updated here so the public will not see that in two days, and update them in Patreon right now.
For those who can't support me in Patreon, thank you for supporting me until now, that was so great!!
For those who will continue to support me, well... thank you too for supporting me until now XD I'm very happy to know that you'll be there and I will do my best so that you will be happy to be there too! ^o^
I'm sorry to disturb you again, but I have some important news to say and I hope you will like it =)
I spoke to Tapastic's staff and they told me that there would be no problem in making the changes needed to continue here!
It's good news ^o^ Chronoctis Express stays in Tapastic and you can continue to support me here!
So, to continue here I'm going to change several things in the support system :
- Starting now, future Chronoctis Express pages updated on Tapastic will be accessible only for supporters! (like Patreon)
- As a big thank you, your name will be mentioned on the thank you credits at the end of the official Chronoctis Express ebooks and paper version made during your support!
Rewards system will be deleted to make room to a «goals system » :
For all my supporters, here is what you will earn when the total of support per month will reach :
- $50/month – 1 Exclusive wallpaper for all new supporters (it's the wallpaper that was the first milestone reward at $5)
- $150/month – Access to behind the scene bonus : page storyboard ; yonkoma ; characters search... (at least one bonus per month)
- $300/month – Downloading pdf and mobi (Kindle) version of all future new ebooks of Chronoctis Express, so you can read it on your computers, digital tablet and Kindle as much as you want
- $500/month - 20% discount off online store for all supporters
If you don't appreciate these changes, don't hesitate to stop the support, or to lower it if you think it is too high for the new goals, I completely understand ^^
I have a particular fondness for Tapastic and it was really hard and painful to think about just leaving it all.
So I am really grateful to be able to stay here, and I will do by best to increase the production of new pages now that I will have more time to do it !
Thank you very much everyone for your kind words and your warm support !
I send a message to everyone who support me to tell you about the future of my comic Chronoctis Express frow now on.
It is with regret that I inform you that I will close my Tapastic support page in a few days. Unfortunately, the amount of work is too important from what I receive. I tried to earn money to make a living and continue to give new free pages of my comic, but it didn't work, so I have to stop it.
And unfortunately, the support system in Tapastic does not fit what I can and want to do. I love Tapastic, but... unfortunately I have to do choices that will help me, so I can make the maximum of pages of Chronoctis Express.
I will stop every free updates on Tapastic and others websites.
So, people who will want to read it, starting now, will have to support me on Patreon (1$ per new chapter), or buy it as e-book (1$ per new chapter too), or paper version (I have the project to print it in english in 2016 =) )
Each chapter will contain between 25 and 35 pages. It depends on many things, but new chapters will be updated about every 5 weeks / 9 weeks.
With these changes, you will have more pages to read, faster ^^
If you want to be sure to know all the future news, don't hesitate to go on my tumblr here : http://o-aerinn-o.tumblr.com/
Or you can see news on the official site here : http://en.chronoctis-express.com/
(it's not totally in english yet and I have to update it, but I will work on it on the next days!)
And my Patreon page here : https://www.patreon.com/aerinn?ty=h
I hope you will understand my view. It's not easy to know what to do when we make self-publishing, that's why I'm trying a lot of things to make a living from my art.
I'm really grateful to you for the support which you gave me and your interest to Chronoctis Express! Thank you so much! ^o^
I hope you enjoyed your rewards, and hope you will continue to like my creations too!
