no, I'm not dead. I just kind of forgot to post here actually, because I was trying to transition my work off of the site when I stopped working anyway. I'm sorry.
No, Weird Sisters isn't going to continue. I apologize to everyone I've disappointed with that; I don't feel I could continue to do the story justice if I forced myself to continue to work on it. I still love it very much, but the passion is no longer there as I've moved onto a very different era in my life.
I would love to keep making comics. I would also love to keep making rent in NYC, however, and those two things aren't really conducive to each other without an extreme level of success. I also have an increased risk of wrist injury due to how little I took breaks during college and overworking myself attempting to put out a weekly comic at the same time. Making comics at any average webcomic-updating speed just isn't in the cards for me right now.
I appreciate and love all of you who've stuck with me. I might be back someday, but I don't think I'll be hosting my work on Tapas if I do. I'll let you know where to find me in the event that I publish my work online elsewhere.

Hey aNat Roze just wondering if the men in your series could use magic too
Hey! I have come to absolutely love Weird Sisters. The camaraderie, the sisterhood is so refreshing. And of course there is the hidden literary gems to decode. If I had magic, I would have tipped you more, but I will have to make do with my regular not-that-much coins. I am looking forward to more spookiness!
Hello all! Since it's been a week or so now, I'd like to say a few things real quickly about Weird Sisters as a story:
I started this comic last October after having a bad breakdown and tearing an unfinished, massive, and very emotionally hard-to-work-on piece off the wall of my studio. I was stressed out and in a near-constant state of panic and I kind of just said "fuck it, I don't want to do Fine Arts with big Deeper Hidden Meaning shit, I'm gonna make something meaningless and self-indulgent," and it's turned into something really wonderful and fun that means QUITE a lot to me now.
Having made it a whole year without giving up on it or getting bored, I'm fully confident in its continued existence now that I'm willing to put a LOT more energy into making it even better than it already is.
Weird Sisters has grown from a mostly-plotless shenanigans-of-the-week comic about a trio of witches goofing around on a college campus into a Really Big Story that's kind of only just beginning. It takes its inspiration from all over the place: modern witchcraft practices being a big one, but Shakespeare being another just as big. Somewhere in here, a plot began to form around the idea that if all the women in Shakespeare's tragedies had had just one other girl around to talk to, confide in, rely on, maybe they would've survived long enough to stand up to the problems in their respective plays. Combined with the miscommunication/secret keeping-as-plot-device elements present in Shakespeare's comedies (and I do to some extent still consider Weird Sisters a comedy, even if it's definitely taking a turn for the spooky), as well as the magical realism and often realer-than-we-think magic inspired by several of his plays, some really interesting storylines are about to begin to unfold as this comic progresses into year two.
Once again, thank you so much for sticking with me for a whole year. I'm so proud of how far I've come, and I'm so glad you all have come with me.

Hey Nat, are you ever going to continue Hack & Slash??

Hey Yall
So I've been dealing with a minor wrist injury since about May, which I haven't been letting heal as well as I should be because I keep trying to draw... and it's gotten to the point where I probably need to seriously leave it be for like a week or two to let it heal properly so I don't end up with carpal tunnel syndrome.
In addition to that, my Shakespeare-loving ass is going to be in a play! As part of a program called Shakespeare in Ten that a friend of mine runs and directs, I'll be in a production of Macbeth in Seattle, which will take up a lot of my time from the end of July through the performance on August 12th.
So Weird Sisters is going on a brief hiatus; I'll post some pre-existing sketches and doodles this week and next to fill the gap, and for the rest of the week my goofy new d&d fancomic will also be posting a few pre-existing strips, so hopefully you won't miss me TOO much! Luckily this isn't too horrible a place to have had to stop; the next page is a Mysterious Scene Transition...
WEIRD SISTERS WILL RESUME UPDATING AGAIN ON AUGUST 16TH! I'll see you all soon!

I shared Weird Sisters with all of my sorority sisters. I'm hoping they'll enjoy it <3 I know I did!
Hi Everyone!
A lot of folks reading Weird Sisters have been noticing the copious amount of Shakespeare references I've put into it. If you're super into Shakespeare, and you like making art or writing prose/poetry, you should consider applying to me and my friend Betsy's modern Shakespeare zine: "such stuff as dreams are made on"!
Applications are open until the end of the week, and you can find the link and information about it here: https://shakespearezine.tumblr.com/post/161331394477/such-stuff-as-dreams-are-made-on-application !

UPDATE:
Since Tapas seems to have removed their "right of first refusal" aspect of their terms of service, Weird Sisters is going to be sticking around on Tapas and will continue updating here.
I'm still going to be making my own comic hosting website, both for hosting Weird Sisters somewhere that belongs to me AND for future projects to exist exclusively on. I'll continue updating Weird Sisters here for now, but once I've got my own website up and running the updates will be posted their first, and then as batch scene updates over here, probably. It'll take me awhile to figure out, but I'll be sure to keep everyone informed.
Weird Sisters will come off hiatus on May 31st! See y'all soon!

Hi all!
Since I've been on hiatus this month, I've come to a decision in regards to my comic: while Tapas has been fantastic thus far, I've always wanted full control over the website I post my comics on, to set the scene better and all that, and so I'm now looking into getting a website set up on which to host Weird Sisters and any future comics that I produce! I'll be moving exclusively over to an independent website for the purpose of posting comic updates, and I'll be making a twitter account to tweet whenever it updates, so people can still get notified in some way if they'd like to be.
What this means: the Weird Sisters hiatus might go on slightly longer than just this month of May, while I figure out how to code a website or pay someone else to do it for me. I'll leave the prologue of Weird Sisters up here on Tapas, but the rest of the story will exist exclusively on my own site (or possibly update later/in batches on Tapas, if I think that might work out). I hope that's alright with everyone! I'll keep you updated, and I'll post the link to the new site both here and as an update to Weird Sisters so everyone knows when and where I'll be.
Thank you everyone!
