Return!
Hello everyone. I’m back.
It’s been a long time, I know. These past few months have been very difficult and painful for me. Life hasn’t been easy, and just hanging on was about my limit. I’d like to say that things have gotten better, but nothing much has changed in terms of my personal circumstances.
Nevertheless, I’m not giving up. Magical Girl Gunslinger will be resuming, although I still won’t be promising regular updates.
Thank you for continuing to support me. If any of you have been supporting me on Patreon during the past few months of inactivity, feel free to private message me and request a refund with which months you would like refunded.
I’m sorry to those of you I’ve worried. Thank you for the messages, comments, and well-wishes. Thank you for reading and enjoying MGG. Most of all, thank you for your patience and understanding.
In positive news, Discord server should be up soon™! If you have any ideas for a server name, feel free to leave them below. There will be a separate Patreon Announcement when the discord is ready.
Also, I’ve found out that working on a separate story just for stress relief has been doing me wonders. Right now, it’s codename is Project Wound. When the Discord server is set up, I might post some snippets there to build up some mystery. It will probably remain unposted for a good time just so I can have a personal project to relax with. Nevertheless, there will be a channel for speculation and eventually input when Project Wound is fully ready to be revealed.
Thanks once again for your patience and well-wishes! Chapters 30, 31, and 32 are being posted to RoyalRoad as we speak, and Chapter 33 is going up on Patreon immediately after I finish typing this. Hope to have more for you soon.
Much Love,
Mikasane.

Just binged your series and it would be worth the Patreon money even if you never wrote more. You earned that money
I'm hoping project wound doesn't take too much word count away from MGG, but if it's easier for you to write then you do you.
Amazing to see you are back writing. So sorry to see that your going through the life grinder :( Hope all is well and can't wait to see the discord come alive :)
Glad to have you back! As for a discord server name - how about 'Arcadia Community Forums' from that interlude chapter we had? I feel like it would be a cool reference to a fiction itself, while simultaniously clearly conveying a meaning behind a discord server. It's almost as if you've already named a public space for MGs' fans *wink*
I hope things continue to get better for you! Also this sort of inactivity or delay with authors is common for me I still support the ones I like even if they miss a promised release with never an explanation for the delay.
I knew you didn't post often when I joined. So no issues. Glad too see your return
I just want to say welcome back and keep my money. It is well spent for sure!
Glad you're back, and that you found a way to unwind. As to the name of the server, might I suggest Guardian Control?

Good to see you back! And no worries, take whatever time you need. I hope life gets easier for you at some point. 💜
Welcome back. I’m willing to wait for your creativity.
Welcome back! I'm with the others on take however long you need. It's a relief for many of us to know you're still there.
Glad to hear from you! Take whatever time you need. You deserve to send out the best version of your story you can write.
Good to see ya again, friend 💜
Good to see you're still around, and thanks for the new chapter. As someone who also relies on creativity for work, I know how hard it is to get motivated again, and also that you can't just switch to writing/typing mode. Sometimes you're in 'the zone' and get 1 month of work done in a few hours, other days, you're just dragging on, and you hope no one will confront you on your lack of progress. Imposter syndrome popping up, negative spiraling, etc. etc. I don't have a solution for it all, except allowing yourself to take a break. Anyway enough rambling. Glad to see you're still alive and writing. Have a great day.
welcome back! excited to see how this story goes
Good to see you back can't wait to see where the story goes.
I'm so happy that you're back! I hope things go better for you.
Welcome back Mika!
glad to see you back
Woooo :D

Don't stress over having to host a server, you don't need to be the person hhandling chat. Glad you're doing well :heart:
It put a big smile on my face when I pulled up RR and saw that you had posted. Then I jumped over here to see if you put anything new up and found this. I think it will take a lot more than a three month hiatus to shake most of us. 3 months isn't even that much in the world of hiatuses. I've seen some webcomics disappear with no word for years at a time, then later pick up again with regular updates as if nothing had happened.
Welcome back. I'm glad you are doing better.
I'm glad to see you're back. Anyway, the purpose of a patronizing artists is not to buy content. The purpose of patronizing artists is to make the artists' lives a little easier, in hopes that if they aren't spending all their time scrambling for money they'll spend more time making things you like. So the refund offer is a nice gesture, but if I cut off support when an author was going through some shit that would defeat the entire point.
eh, i'd say it's a bit of both. even if you're purely supporting an artist on a per-update basis, this system still beats the hell out of having them work through a corporate middleman.
I can't even describe how happy I am to hear that you are still here and still in the fight with us. The chapter is good, but relatively unimportant next to the knowledge that you are ok (or at least still hanging in there) I hope you continue to be ok and your situation continues to improve.
Not giving up was probably the most important thing for me and many others. Time passes, life changes and tomorrow will never be the same as today. If you ever feel stuck, don’t forget that.
Squeee :) Welcome back. I hope your life continues to improve, and it must have at least somewhat, as you've found the strength to post again.
I don't even subscribe to the patreon for the chapter update. I subscribe to the patreon to help out a good author. Just worry about taking care of yourself. If anybody really doesn't like that there hasn't been any chapter updates they can cancel their patreon and wait for it to hit royal road
Glad to hear from you and that your doing okay hun!
Glad to see you're back, always an update that puts a smile on my face. Take all the time you need to make sure you're writing sustainabily!
Glad you're back!
Welcome back. If you need time, then you need time. There is No need for the refund, i can wait.
Sometimes all one can do is make it though the day. And thats okay.
Nice to see ur back Ty for the chapter
welcome back. ty for the chapter.
Glad to hear from you! Sorry you've been going through it, I empathize, sometimes you have to just take care of your brain and hoard your mental energy. No refund needed here. As for discord server name: "Magical Girl Gunserver" feels right lol
You have an incredible talent for storytelling and attention to detail. I as well as many others appreciate what you do and know that it takes time especially with life getting in the way. Thank for you the update!
Glad to see you're back! I hope things are turning around. You're a great writer and I'm always happy to see new updates, but it's not worth your own health!
Woooooo!
Welcome back 💖
Hell yeah welcome back
awesome to see you back, but even better that you are doing better!
Hey, welcome back! I'm glad to see this series continue and to hear from you again. As far as that time without chapters, I just hope my donation helped you out during that time period👍🏻😁👍🏻.
Hey there, welcome back!
Its been what, 3ish months with no chapters? Everyone has hard times, I hope my $15 in that period got you a few coffees or something. Happy to see a new chapter, I'm reading 10-12 hours a day and something about your story feels really rewarding to read. Looking forward to more.
Welcome back!
So glad to hear things are getting better for you, been worried but didn't want to push you for an update.
Welcome back. You give me strength
glad you’re doing alright!! welcome back 🥰
I'm just glad to hear from you. And thankful for a new chapter. I was worried.

I LITERALLY POSTED A COMMENT ASKING FOR AN UPDATE LESS THAN AN HOUR AGO. In less bombastic terms, this is genuinely good news :). No refunds for me, i got my updates now so i'm fine
