After telling him firmly to delete any scraped RS content, he assured us that's not what he's doing. Based on his previous communications selling the platform, I have some further questions, but hopefully this is honest and he has been appropriately spooked into ensuring good behaviour.
While we appreciate the support of our patrons, we know not everyone is able to financially support the art and stories they enjoy—but there's another way:

Welcome to #WebcomicTalk, the #fediverse#webcomic discussion hashtag. Our topic this week is "goals." We have three questions left.
Question 2: "Why did you choose the goal or resolution for your webcomic that you did?"
Please include the hashtag #WebcomicTalk and boost the prompt to invite more creators into the discussion. You can answer these prompts whenever you see them, even weeks after they are posted. We'll boost your responses.
I never liked open ended comics because there was never really much of a satisfying solution to the stories they were telling - they always dovetailed into the next thread.
So when I started my comics, I was very big on "I will have the whole story in my head before I do comic #1."
Closetspace (http://dolari.net/cs) is fairly rigidly plotted, and its following that plot very closely.
"A Wish for Wings" (http://dolari.net/awfw) was less rigidly plotted, and more of an outline that I would follow, but aiming towards an ending. In fact, we HIT that ending in episodes #101 and 104 (no pun iuntended).
That said, AWFW continued because, on the way to that ending, a sequel appeared in my head. That sequel was originally called "A Harp Within My Hand" but instead of making a new comic, I simply extended the story. Harp Within My Hand was also completely outlined before I weaved it into the comic.
Webcomics are a gift that keeps on giving—but while free to read, they sure ain't free to make!
If you've enjoyed RS, have some spare clams, and would like to allow everyone to continue to enjoy RS in the future, consider contributing to our Ko-fi one-time or monthly!
One of the best ways to support us and Rising Sand is to share! The end of the year is rough on everyone, but luckily sharing is free and a great way to help new readers find us!
Discovered this little #smallpress#comic pub called Really Easy Press and they’ve got some really interesting stuff in their catalog! I kind of love #risograph printing so I wanted to see what this one had to offer, and I was not disappointed! 🧵1/
What software do you use for panelling in your comic (if you use panels)
For my current comic, #LandWalk, I use a kind of free-form layout, which is fun, but I was thinking it'd be interesting to try a more traditional comic-style format for a side project.
Hey! It's that day on the calendar that says "ku-fl" because Jenn's really terrible at writing on a wall calendar! What we mean to say is did you know you can now support RS on Ko-fi and get the same goodies as Patreon, but without the fee? Now you do!
Hey! Did you know you can now support RS on Ko-fi monthly and get the same benefits as Patreon? It's almost a better way to support, because Ko-fi ✨doesn't take a fee!✨
Consider joining the credits of RS, and help us drown the world in Sand!
