So, while I don't want to get on too many details about The Long Hike right now (get back to me in two months) . But as is tradition after 6 chapters, I want to keep on with the side stories!

though as you know I already did a side story between chapters 9-10! So there is likely only one side story in the works between arcs of The Long Hike, but I am torn and figured I would ask for some opinions on what people may prefer as I am stuck between four separate side stories! I wouldn't take this as a vote though, don't wanna get folks hopes up as at the end of the day I'm gonna make the final decision. Rather I just want to see what may appeal to folks considering that all of these potential stories appeal to me in one way or another!

Also don't feel obligated to comment, no worries if you're just content to see what gets seen.

But in any case, onto the stories:


Good Morning?.. Is a potential retelling of the original comic I wrote back in early 2021, which was the first comic I was able to see all the way through and the comic that started the whole comicking thing I've been doing for half a decade now. This would set it more into the current canon and current aesthetics while also reworking aspects of the story to flesh out Sarah as a character.

Though overall you should expect a similar story trajectory to the original. Its a retelling with some more polished comicking and lore updates.


A New World Wakes or as another potential name Suyu Wakes Is a telling of the long, old lore event known as Jallhers stand, as its both still canon and perhaps the most significant event of the Awakening Period. It's the end of Human colonialism from those beyond the Chiming Haze. It would likely be a pretty wild and surreal comic though, I think it wouldn't have the most appeal. The plan would be to seat it in the perspective of a human, drek, or other on the ground perspective trying to survive the event.


Solemn Dawn Is more of a backstory to show Forls background prior to The Long Hike, referencing Shõlresas comments in chapter 5 to Forl (though Jat). Particularly how he wound up living with the Seattlens. I don't wanna give too much about it though.

The Granite Spiral is more to finally put a story to the Uãkoí who have I have thought about a lot over the past several weeks or months, with this being a story more focused in Logáu. With it following a hunting party of adolescent drekir who have headed out to hunt a sacred Albino Boém in the Greenslit canyons of the Logáun Joer as a means of proving themselves and being welcomed into the tribe as adults... But inevitably running into problems.


Depending on the nature of the story I would assume it to be 15-30 pages, or about 2-4 months of drawing work, if you got thoughts lemino!
