so. a strange journey has reached it's...first big stop.
older readers among you knew this for a while but sunstone was , a long time ago conceptualized as a four arc story.
each arc named after the central couple's safeword
sunstone- ally and lisa
mercy- alan and anne
jasper- marion and james
and still unnamed for structural reasons fourth arc
when i say sunstone is over i don't mean that ally and lisa's story is over, just the sunstone arc. now, here is how things go from here on
anne and alan's storyarc mercy is next. this storyarc will provide us with it's own unique narrative. anne a bi girl who gets interested into this whole bdsm business through influence of her friends, and alan a dumbass
through the course of mercy, we will in depth explore also the friendship alan and ally formed, their college years, the works
on the flipside we get to see anne and cassie become friends , expanding on the whole relationship with tom, and anne becoming a tattoo artist
another unique thing about their story arc comes from alan's involvement with harper and the opening and involvement with the crimson bdsm club. unlike ally, alan spends a lot of time interacting with other practitioners which will enable me to remove an aura of no true scotsman from the depiction of bdsm shown so far.
truth is there are different approaches to it, we have seen our core group's idea of what it is, but it would be disingenuous to show only one side of the 20-sided die
as mercy progresses on it will catch up and move forward events of sunstone and subsequently jasper
as for ally and lisa... well, the fourth arc comes back to them as there is a wedding that i have...subtly hinted at XD
now, i plan on taking a month break from strips, there will be silly stuff posted here, a few illustrations, stuff like that but generally mercy will kick off early december
i promise you laughs, tears, and missed self imposed deadlines!
so, you know....business as usual
in the meanwhile i'm off to wrap up reformatting of chapter 5 for print as that goes out in december....oddly fitting
i will wrap this up with a bit of a celebration of fan creativity
feel free to link me stuff that i missed and i'll add them to this journal. (i'm trying to have one per deviantartist)
thank you everyone for these four amazing years, let's see what shennanigans we can pull off in the next four XD

I recently finished Volume 5 of Sunstone this week and wow, I was so blown away by the emotions, detailed artwork, heartfelt/funny/witty dialogue, and the lovable characters! Also, I haven't felt so much WAFF (warm and fuzzy feelings) from a story of any medium in so long!
So happy to hear you'll bring back Ally and Lisa in the 4th arc
Thank you SO much for writing and creating this beautiful story!

Oh gosh, and I still haven't read through all of sunstone xD
I look away for five years, you've got your comic in print at comic shops in Austin (I bought one btw) and then the thing is over and I find out it's just part one of a larger story? I like it xD
I have a lot of catching up to do, but I'm super glad to see that you've grown to have so many supporters and such a big following

AS a late comer to the series(I found and lost the way to this series awhile back), I admit I inhaled the whole series overnight(Thank god for coffee!) And was sad to see it had finished what felt like 'already'
But this made me so happy to read, that this universe you've created will continue and we'll get to explore other's narratives <3 I'm excited to see how Mercy will bloom so thank you so much!
