First: The english version of the comic! I tried to get the rights of the english translation for a "Patreon only" option, but that was not possible since they had an English plataform (Lezhin). So I really really hope Lezhin US show some interest in the getting a translation. ๐ค (I'm still not aware of why The Red King has never got an spanish translation at Webtoon LATAM either)
Second: If by any chance any of you guys had the same question as a friend of mine (ok, the friend was Heylenne), "Why haven't you pitched Forgotten Creatures? You already have a few chapters done!" And the answer is: Forgotten Creatures is a peculiar story and has a peculiar way of writing, creating it and I wished to preserve it. I want to tell it in a way that information is tossed at the audience and explained later; I wanted it to be dialogue driven, meaning the kind of comic if you can't "read it" without the text, the kind of story that is told by characters and not with a narrator. Perhaps they would have accepted it's pitch, I haven't tried it.
That, however, doesn't mean that LOSLG is a very "silly, commercial story", but I'll talk more about it in the next posts... (I know, I know " who gives a sh*t the story will be in french" I'm really going to try hard to get a way to translate it in english)
And Third, billing will be paused next month, you won't be charged for February because I need to finish the first three episodes that are 120 frames long. And it's hell. 65 frames per week is fiiiiine, 120 is hell. I'm at 128 frames for episode 1, it's divided in three parts. And the worst part of it, is that you don't have that nice feeling of thinking: "Well this episode is done, let's start the next one" Because it n e v e r e n d s .๐
Things are a little bit crazy right now, but should be back to normal in March! Wow, that was a lot of text!

Time to brush up on my high school French!
Yeah, if Lezhin won't have interest I'll try again to negotiate a way to get the english rights ๐ง
That's disappointing! LOSLG has my favorite theme of the stories you share but I know no french. :'< I hope you can share a English version in the future!
