EDIT : Backpedaling a bit, sorry
Ok so, about an hour ago I made a post about how I was opening old pages to the public, thinking it was a good alternative to Tapas shutting down. But right after uploading my post, I started feeling a bit ill at ease.
I think I acted a bit too fast and forgot that what made the value of a patreon community was also the comment section, with the inside jokes and the readers recognizing each other (which is always a lot harder with a bigger group with a bit of turnover).
Anyway! I've talked about it to my Patreon backers on Discord (which I should have done beforehand, sorry guys) and they confirmed my doubts.
So! Change of plans! I'm putting chapter 22 back behind a paywall and I'll keep the chapter bundles since they're brand new with no comments from my patreon backers.
I'll probably try to keep uploading the full chapters publicly here as big bundles at the end of a chap, I like this idea :)
Sorry about that guys, I think I panicked a tiny bit here -_- As for Tapas being almost dead well, for now there's still Webtoon and my website to get the comic for free, and I'll keep my eyes and ears opened in case there's a nice comic platform everyone is migrating towards! (if you ear anything, don't hesitate to drop a comment or a DM!)
Sorry again, I feel a bit stupid :D
Love,
Marvin

So will it be permanently behind paywall? (No worries if it is just a question 😃)
Yes, the solution I found for now is to make the chapters available for the free members as soon as I'm done posting them on the other platforms, as one post containing all the pages of the chapter (and since it's a brand new post, there won't be an access to the the paying members' comments) :)
Whatever you decide we are here for you!
We appreciate you ❤️

What about Fanon? I mean it's mainly for fandoms but you can try seeing if it works too, people can support you by simply following you with free accounts
I have no idea what that is, I'll start making a list of possible alternatives so thanks for the suggestion!
For what it's worth, I don't say anything here that I'd be embarrassed to have seen by a wider audience. And I'm not jealous about the privileges of paid membership. If anything, I might feel less inclined to correct your English in public. :)
Then that is a MAJOR problem Brian.
You gotta do what you feel best with! Whatever you decide and feels right I'm sure will work out for the best <3
Thank you ♥!
All good Marvin :) I think everyone is going to be doing some learning and adjusting with these changes
Yeah, I've been on Tapas for 11 years already, that's quite the change :D But at least that wasn't the only option so I'm not too worried, mainly a bit sad :)
end of the beginning of a new era
Ahahah :D
