On a side note: I highly recommend you guys check out the demo for Alice's Reverie. It's an indie visual novel made by two people that is VERY promising.(I've played it myself and it is safe). It has a very cute art style and the creators are very friendly people. Please check out the demo and spread the word if you can; they have a Discord server and you can donate to their Ko-fi page to help them out and get a cute sketch! Please show them some love! ^^

Alright, I'm not going to beat around the bush here. First I need to apologize for being absent for so long. I'm going to be completely transparent with you guys about what has been happening. Earlier this year, I was put into a situation where I needed to start paying for a new car. With my finances being strained, I didn't feel comfortable paying for pages until I found a better job.
I was hoping that it would happen relatively soon when I had to put the comic on hiatus but it sadly never did. Overall stress and anxiety hasn't helped things either and I found myself too afraid to post any update. In that regard, I was a coward, and no amount of apologizing is going to make things better. Instead, I'm pushing forward with trying to fix it by telling all of you my plans for the future of Alice.
1. The comic is not ending, I fully intend on finishing it.
2. I can't say when I'll be able to start paying my artist again for pages, but my goal is early next year.
Now that being said, I've actually been thinking about rebooting the comic for some time. Admittedly, I really didn't have a clear road map or vision of what I wanted until fairly recently. It would still be the same story (albeit more polished) but I would take many more creative liberties with it to make it something truly unique as opposed to a full on adaptation. I was thinking of taking elements from both books while making it feel like it's own little adventure. I'm still not sure if I will do this for sure, I will think about it more as I look to reach more financial stability. Once I reach that point, I'll let you all know what my plan is. I'll try to give more updates from time to time to show that I'm still alive.
I'm so sorry for all of this, it's a lot for me to ask you guys to be patient but I hope you will understand. I'm fully intent on making this right. There are just things I need to take care of in my life first. Thank you all for your support so far.

Hey hey everyone! Sorry the new episode was late on posting, I didn't have to to format the pages to the right size last night and I only just now got time to do it. Hope you all like it! :D
Hey hey everyone! I'm sorry I've been kind of silent lately. Things have unbelievably stressful on my end lately and I haven't had the time or heart to post anything. Hopefully things work themselves out here soon.
Best of luck!
Hey hey everyone! So I kind of messed up uploading the first episode of Chapter Three. I've been sick all week and haven't really been able to think straight because of it. I'll be changing the episode I posted to the title page alone, then post a new Episode One with an extra page. I apologize for this mess up and any confusion this might cause. X3c
Hey hey everyone! I'm sorry I disappeared for a little while. There were some issues that occured in my personal life that made me kind of a recluse for a little while. The main issue being my car of which I'm currently taking care of. I'm sorry I didn't post weekly questions for a while, I hope to get back to doing it this week.
In comic news: the hiatus will finally be over soon! Starting on Friday May 4th, I'll start posting Chapter Three in celebration of Alice Day! Admittedly, the chapter isn't very long but the wait for the next one will be much shorter compared to this. I apologize again for the long wait and I hope you all enjoy it!
Also, my friends and I are streaming games on twitch! We actually started a little while back but took a break; now we're back! We don't have a set schedule at the moment unfortunately but I'm hoping we can do it more consistently soon!

Hey hey everyone! Happy Easter! :D
I hope you're all having a great day!
Weekly Question (Can't think of what to call this yet X) ):
What are your favorite types of villains in storytelling? Feel free to give examples! ^^

Weekly Question (Can't think of what to call this yet X) ):

My favorite villains in stories are always the over the top powerful. The kind that need an entire team to take down. Like Imperiex from Our Worlds at War and Hulk in World War Hulk. I want a villain that makes me afraid!
I like villains who have a reason to be mad...owo;;
those who aren't villains just because they feel like it, but because they think they are right (and maybe they are)
and of course such villains are very intelligent and it's very difficult to defeat them

Hey hey everyone! Just wanted to give you guys an update on the comic. I'm currently working on the script for Chapter Five, and we have completed five sketches so far for Chapter Four with another five being drawn this weekend. Once we reach at least page 15, I will start posting Chapter Three! :D
I've also decided to try something fun. Once a week, I'll ask a question for you all to answer or discuss. These questions can be about anything ranging from thoughts on my work, or your opinion on other various matters. I'd like to get to know you guys better! :D
Question of the Week: How familiar are you with the Alice books? How well do you think I am handling my interpretation so far?

I've read the two of them. Personally, as an adaption, I'm liking it ok but there are some beats that dont really gel with me. It has a lot of room for potential growth, but there is a lot of comic left, so...
Hey hey everyone! I'm so sorry for the lack of updates recently, a lot has been happening on my end. X3c
I wanted to start out by apologizing again for this hiatus, it has gone on way longer than I originally expected and sadly may have to be just a little bit longer. Now the fact is: Chapter Three is done; it is 100% complete, however I need to hold off on posting it for now. You see while we were finishing up this chapter, I came back to my Chapter Four script after finishing it months ago and honestly, I wasn't satisfied with it. I had two options: go with the unsatisfactory script I originally made, or start over from scratch... so I chose the latter. While I was able to finish it relatively quickly, I was just recently able to get it to Chelsea to start on the sketches. You see if I start posting the chapter now, then it will eventually finish before we get a chance to finish most of the pages for Chapter Four and we would simply be back where we started. If I wait to post them however, at least until we are about half way through the sketches, then a hiatus afterwards will be MUCH shorter. It's entirely my fault that it got to this point in the first place, I was so excited to post Chapter Two, that I got ahead of myself. I need to learn from my mistake and make sure that this doesn't happen again. That's why I have to extend the hiatus just a little bit longer. I can't say exactly how long but I want to say at least 3-4 weeks since we do five sketches per week. Again, I'm truly sorry to all of you, none of you deserve to wait this long for the next chapter. All I can say is: I fucked up, but I intend to make things right.
Also, I'm thinking about entering the Writers Camp Contest. I've had an idea for a pretty cool story that I've been playing around with for a long time and I think this might be the perfect opportunity to try posting it in a novel format! What do you guys think? 83c

Aww, well, that is an understandable thing that happened. ^^ And if you weren't satisfied with the next chapter's script, then indeed it's better to turn it into something you *are* satisfied with than to rush and put out something that won't be condusive to making the chapters afterward their best. We will wait, so don't worry~ Just do what you need to do. ^^ Also, entering the contest seems like it could be neat~ Good luck if you do it. ^_^
Thank you so much for understanding! And thank you for wishing me luck! ^^
