      <p>The kickstarter campaign is now past the second stretch goal, meaning everyone gets A5 mini prints of the alternative cover design! I'm all out of stretch goals now, and currently looking into options for new ones :D</p>

In other news, the SpiderForest webcomics collective is open for applications! I love being part of this collective - it's full of talented, friendly people, who have a whole lot of communal knowledge about pretty much every aspect of making a webcomic. And are also available for ridiculous conversations on Discord and music recs. So many music recs. So if you have a webcomic and have thought you would like to be part of a group, then check out <a href="https://www.spiderforest.com/apply/">the application page!</a><br><br>

      <p>Welp, we're only eight days into the campaign, and we've already hit the first stretch goal, which is just … wild. I don't think I fully realised how anxious I was about this whole thing, until I stopped being so anxious about it. It's gonna be okay! I'm actually going to able to print this book and send it out to people! :D </p>

<p>Thank you for all the shares of the campaign – with 22 days still to go, any way you can spread the word is much appreciated! Let's see how far this can go! I promise I will not go mad with power. Well, fingers crossed, anyway. </p>

<p>WHOOOOOOOO!!! I FINALLY MADE IT HERE!!</b></p>

<p>And oh wow, it's been quite the first day? It's not even been 24 hours yet, and it's already over halfway funded - I can hardly believe it! Thank you so much to everyone who has pledged so far, you are all absolutely amazing!</p>

<p>I've also had a tidy up of the website - all the art that was posted during the time I was working on getting the book ready, has now been moved to the <a href="https://sparekeyscomic.com/gallery.html">Gallery page</a>.</p> </p>]]></description>

 <p> 
        <p>The comic I'm posting for the next few weeks is an autobiographical story I made for last year's SpiderForest anthology - Threads: Secret Places. It's six pages long, and I'll be posting it weekly from now.</p>
<p>Yes, that is supposed to be tiny me - fun fact: I got the mole on the wrong side of my face because I forgot I only ever see myself in a mirror XD I enjoyed making this a lot, it was fun doing something a bit different, and also trying to remember what my family home was like when I was little ...</p>
<p>I am hiatusing <a href="https://www.patreon.com/SpareKeys">my Patreon</a> from now onwards, but for a last Patreon extra, every patron can read this story in full right now.</p> </p>]]></description>

 <p> 
        <p>And it's finished! Whoo-hooooo!</p>

<p>I'm going to take a week or two off now, but I'll be back in December with some art, an update on where I am with the book, and - with luck - some sort of mailing list plan!</p>

<p>Thank you so much for reading! :D</p>

<p>---o0o---</p>

<p>Repeating this here, so people don't miss it.</p>

<p>The short version:</p>

<b><p>a) I'm going to be taking an indefinite, and maybe permanent, break from making 'Spare Keys for Strange Doors' and webcomics in general, once the current story is finished.</p>

<p>b) Following completion of the current story, in three pages time, I'm going to try and finish putting a Spare Keys book together, with the aim of running a Kickstarter in spring next year.</p>

<p>c) If anyone fancied doing a guest art piece to help me continue updating the site over the book-making period, I would be incredibly grateful!  Soft deadline is 9th December.</p>

<p>d) I'll be keeping my Patreon going until the Kickstarter, and then I will be putting payments on hiatus. I won't be offended if you unsubscribe at any time!</p></b>

<p>If you want to read the long version ... <a href="https://sparekeyscomic.com/announcement.html">it's over here</a>.</p> </p>]]></description>

<p>I'll be at Table 4 in the main hall, running the SpiderForest table, if you are attending! I'm the woman with glasses and dark purple hair XD We'll have all the SpiderForest anthologies for sale, including the two that I have stories in.</p></b>

      There will be no page update next week, as it's the half term holidays. I will be posting some art, though, and also making an announcement – so check back for that. Now the kids have been home for exactly one day, and I already need to lie down, so I'll see you later …  </p>]]></description>
