This Patreon is going on pause!
Hey everyone!
This Patreon is going on pause, meaning that I will not be uploading anything and you will not be charged any money from this point onwards. This is because I've finished creating the main comic pages for Heartstopper Volume 5, and I am therefore no longer able to upload pages to the Full Comic Tier.
Thank you SO much to everyone who has been supporting me on Patreon this year! I really really appreciate you.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Is Heartstopper finished?
No, Heartstopper is not finished - there will be one final book, Volume 6, which will contain two more chapters: chapter 8 and an epilogue.
What happens to the Heartstopper Patreon now?
The Patreon will also go ‘on pause’ as of today (16th September), meaning nobody will be charged any money until I return. I don’t know when I will be able to return - sometime in 2024!
What does a 'pause' mean on Patreon?
It means that nobody will be charged any money and I will not be uploading any content. It also means that nobody will be able to join the Patreon as a new member, so if you decide to leave, you will not be able to rejoin until I 'unpause' the Patreon and resume uploading next year.
Will I be charged money while you're not uploading content to Patreon?
No.
When will you start making Heartstopper pages again?
I don't know exactly! I haven't begun to plan or write chapter 8 and I don't really know what will happen in it. I will return to making pages sometime in 2024 but I will need time to focus on the TV show, time to rest, and time to plan and write the final volume, so I have no idea exactly when I will return.
What will happen with the regular webcomic updates on Tumblr/Tapas/Webtoon?
I will continue uploading updates as usual until chapter 7/Volume 5 has completed. Then I will go on hiatus on those websites too.
I would still like to support you! Can I opt in to continue paying?
I really really appreciate your kindness and support, but unfortunately this is not possible on Patreon. The Patreon has to pause for everyone or no one.

Hi Alice! Just want to say thank you so much for Heartstopper and for how good chapter 7 was!!!! I'm going to unsubscribe since I want to experience the last chapter as regular updates. I've been subscribed to the patreon since i first started reading near the start of chapter 4 in late 2018! Thanks for 5 years of updates and i can't wait for the final chapter
At first I found it strange as an adult to find so much comfort in a YA story? It was my 15-year-old daughter who introduced me to HS. But love and tenderness have no age, so maybe that's why ❤️ Thank you so much Alice. All the best to you 🌷
Thank you for the update and sending love!!😊👏💯❤️🔥🫶🏻🌸🐾✌️🕊️☮️🧑🎨
Happy birthday Alice!!!
happy birthday alice!
Happy Birthday Alice!!!
I hope that after heartstopper ends you start another book/comic about the gang going to college, etc. These characters are my comfort and emotional support and I would hate to lose them!
i’ve been a silent patreon member (for the most part), bt i have to say ill miss reading the daily pages. and can’t wait till you return. 😊 i’ve started re-reading the books (currently on volume 2!). so happy production started on season 3!! 🤟🏼💙
They started production of season 3 :) Alice shared a photo today.
Will you work on another story/project in the future?
Was rewatching season 1 and I realised, when you have Alice as your guardian angel 😇 even the so called villains/bad guys end up being matchmakers! 🤣😆❤️ Ben tried to control and assault Charlie and that only brought Nick and Charlie closer. Harry tries to set up Nick with Tara Jones, and what happens? Nick is inspired by Tara and Darcy and gets the courage to kiss Charlie at Harry's party! 😆😆😆😆 BRILLIANT!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the journey update ! Can’t wait to hear more about your future projects and stories ❤️
miss the daily dose of socializing with heartstopper fans. also heartstopper.

Alice, I wish you the best. And I'm sure I won't be the only one to say that we will be here when you return <3 we love you and all your work. Take care
Thank you Alice for everything you’ve written. This patreon and the daily posts have been the highlights of our day. It’s amazing to watch the story unfold as you create. Congratulations on the success. You deserve it.
We'll miss you and the boys. I hope things go well for you and this season is somehow less overwhelming than the last couple of years
Please take care of yourself Alice, we’re not going anywhere

make sure you leave time to rest for yourself! I have always loved reading (and watching) heartstopper, and I’m more than happy to wait!
Glad to see you looking after yourself and knowing when to say pause. Sending you all the good vibes and heartfelt thanks for sharing your passion through your art and stories <3
thank you so much alice!!! make sure you get some rest whenever you’re given the opportunity in your hectic schedule. cannot wait to see what you come up with for the final volume/two chapters!
Thank you so much for all of the hard work and dedication you put into your work, Alice! I'm sure this is much easier said than done, but try to relax and take the time to be unbelievably PROUD of what you've accomplished! 😊❤️
Thank you for all the happiness and love this comic has brought into the world. I’ll be happily and patiently awaiting whatever comes next and I can’t wait for more. Take the time you need for rest and other projects, and thank you for the update :) Thank you for everything you do ❤️
Thank you Rest, and we will see you soon

Thank you Alice. We all can't wait for what the future holds, but your health comes first. Your dedication is amazing.
I hope you get some sort of a rest before the season 3 takes over! ❤️ thank you so much for all your hard work. I think I speak for everyone when I say, we all really appreciate you and your talent by bringing these boys to life 🥰
Thank you Alice!!! ❤️
Thank you for the advance preview! The next volume tells the next chapter of their story beautifully! Best of luck in Oct with filming of season 3 ❤️
❤️❤️❤️ Thank you again! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Alice! 🩵
I’m really glad this book ended on the page it did, it’s really sweet. Love you Alice, we’ll all still be here when you come back
enjoy your well deserved break! and good luck with season 3 production, i know it'll be great! don't rush yourself to come back, take all the time you need 🫶🫶
Thank you so much for all of your wonderful content and drawings, we’ll be resting and waiting in the wings!!😊☺️👏☀️🌼🌸🌱🪴💖✌️🕊️☮️💯💫🏉🎶🥁🎊
I love how open honest you are about this stuff. And while I totally appreciate how you don't want to take advantage of supporters, you're still out there working and creating and I think the structure you set yourself on this patreon [while a great deal for backers] is a little hard on yourself? MY POINT: if you ever need to open an acenue for support during these other projects, maybe create a secondary patreon for non heattstopper projects? Could be behind the scenes updates once a week for a dollar or something. Or a dollar a month support the creator in general. Obviously take your rest, and you need to take care of yourself, but don't think that a lot of your fan support is just for one project and nlt for Alice the Artist [Amanda palmer runs her patreon this way, and Imogen Heap uses supapass for a different kind of approach]
Great idea
I really feel like volume 5 ended on a good page❤️❤️ looking forward to all the amazing things you create in the future
Thanks for everything Alice. Rest as much as you can considering the production of season 3. So looking forward to that. We will be here waiting expectantly for your return.
THANK YOU Alice for sharing your work on Patreon - it has been the highlight of my day since I joined. Can’t wait for you to unpause in 2024 after you’ve had a loooong well deserved break. And do pop a Patreon sticker on Nicks laptop in the show if it plays as big a role there as it did in Chapter 7 😂❤️🍂
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the update! Looking forward to the new comic books and the new tv show episodes! Good luck for everything! 💖
Thank you for everything! So glad you get time to rest.
Can’t wait till next time❤️
I joined just in time! Wishing you the very best with your projects - it has to be a very fun ride. Enjoy it.
alice, i’ve been reading heartstopper since i was 12 and i’m so so proud of you. you’re so amazing and this comic has meant so much to me after all these years. i appreciate everything you do so much and i hope you enjoy your break.❤️
Good luck with your other writings!
I did not realise that chapter 7 was finished 😭😭😭 I’ll look forward for the next chapter ❤️❤️❤️
I'm happy for you!!! Not only you finished it but it's amazing! Thank you for your hard work and dedication. We get to have the best LGBT characters and stories because of your talent and love. Hopefully after filming S3 you'll have time to rest properly. 💜
thank you for everything you do, alice! i hope you enjoy your time away and enjoy your current projects before you take on the stress of vol 6! much love and i hope you get the rest you very much deserve 🩵

Thank you so much!
Alice this was a beautiful way to end it. We know you’ll be back with more content and we will be patiently waiting. This story is so lovely and we thank you for creating these characters. Get some rest and we’ll see in 2024! Does anyone know if we will still be able to access these pages and content while on pause?
Yes
Thank you for the daily pages. Even though it was hard for you, you kept with it for us and we GREATLY appreciate it. Enjoy your “break” and I can’t wait for the new content. 😊😊
