Yer welcome! It's great so far!
So, some of you may be aware that there was a huge controversy about the update to the Tapas terms of service which added a First Right of Refusal clause (i guess its a clause?). Let me briefly explain. Tapas wanted to require anyone with a comic on this site to give them the first option of publishing monetizing their comic. What this means is, if Line Webtoon was to come to me and say "hey, we really want you to be a featured artist and we'll pay you and stuff" (never gonna happen, by the way), I would have to go to Tapas and ask them if they wanted to pay me instead and give them 30 days to think about it before I accept the Webtoon deal. If I don't wait or decide not to talk with Tapas about it at all, they have cause to sue me (yay!). Tapas has stated that they only wanted to help creators make more money and not get stuck in a bad deal, but I would be WHOLLY surprised if that were the full reason. I can only assume that this is a response to losing comics to platforms like Webtoon (which has exclusive deals with the artist they pay, so they can no longer post on Tapas). I get it, I really do. But PLEASE do not pretend it is for my benefit.
They have since taken that whole thing out of the terms of service due to the extreme backlash.. So, what I'm saying is, I'm not leaving Tapas right now, though I may decide to in the future.
This was really just my long winded way of saying "sorry I'm not updating much, I'm dealing with a lot of shit that has nothing to do with the Tapas crisis thing"
I hope someone actually reads this.

I read it! Totally agree with you, man… I get the clause, I can understand the company wanting to put it there but like………. I don't like condescension. Anyways, I'm glad you're staying on Tapas for now!! :)
Yeah, exactly, and thanks!

Yer welcome!
Hey, so, expect a holiday special or two from me in the next week or so.. Also, updates now happen on Tuesdays and after this month will probably reduce to every other week.. why? cos, this comic doesn't work so great when I only post one page at a time and given that I have two jobs, more than one page per week isn't possible. Hopefully that doesn't upset you folks too much.
Thanks for subscribing to There was a War, Michelle!
I'm curious, what brought you to this comic?

Yer Welcome! I saw your post in the forums yesterday.. I'd read the first few pages of it over the summer, liked it, but there wasn't quite enough content for me to sub at that time, and then I lost it/forgot all about it, until I saw your post!
aw man thats a brilliant coincidence. im glad you found it again :)
not great stuff has finally caught up with me, so no new page this week or probably next week. Sorry folks, this has been a rough year.
ahhhhhh hey!! I recognise you from the forums! IVE BEEN SUPER SLOW TO SAY IT but gosh, thank you so so much for checking out RW; it means a lot, and I really hope you enjoy the series!! *u*
Hey, no problem, I'm really enjoying it
