So…yes…it’s not a joke or anything. This is the end.
Unfortunately, there will be no special update next week to celebrate the ending as I did with Twisted Mirrors. Things got a bit complicated in my life as the ending approached and I just never got the chance to put anything together. I also need to confess that as time went on, I fell out of love with this project a bit. I was determined to see it to the end, and pretty much everything has gone the way it was always intended to, but you have probably been able to notice how rushed a lot of the end of this has been.
But while I wanted to be honest with you all about that stuff, this comic will always hold a special place in my heart and I am definitely sorry to see it go. It was started back in 2002 and has been a constant presence in my life for 17 full years. No missed updates in all that time outside of computer issues. The complete story from beginning to end. I learned so much from working on this – about how to ink, how to color, how to write for comics, that have made following projects much easier and more streamlined.
I have an idea in mind for a sequel story, but it isn’t complete enough and I’m happy to step aside from this world for a while, so there aren’t currently any plans to proceed with that. For now, Conscripted will likely take FFC’s weekly spot.
Thank you so much for following me on this journey for all these years. Thank you to pensandtales for hosting. It has been a joy working on this and I’m appreciative of all the kind words and words of criticism I’ve received.
It’s been a wild ride. Thank you for joining me.
17 years?! How time flies. Thank you for gifting us this story. And I’d love to hear about any future plans.

Thank you! It’s really wonderful to know that people enjoyed this little project of mine!
To keep you from having to check back here, if I do anything going forward, I’ll announce it either on the facebook page or on my DA account, so if you keep an eye on either of those, I’ll let you know.
…I would not expect anything anytime soon, though, just to warn you. The comic linked in the side bar, Conscripted, will probably be the weekly updater for the forseeable future.
Regardless! Thank you so much for being here! I’ve really enjoyed reading your comments over the years. 😀

Congrats on finishing your webcomic! I did the math the other day and I THINK only 1% or less of all webcomics finish. You are now a 1%er! I have been reading since at least 2014. It’s funny how little things in my life will make me think of this of comic. Thank you for your dedication and your talent. It has been a wonderful ride.

Thank you so much! It’s really wonderful to know that people enjoyed it! I admit there were times I felt pretty unsure about it, so I really appreciate that!
And yeah, the tendency of webcomics to just peter out without ever ending is actually what makes me so determined to make sure I finish mine. I’ve gotten 2 done at this point, so I’m pretty pleased with my track record. 😀
