Follower on break

Follower on break published on No Comments on Follower on break

Hey Chio Crew! I have an update for you about…updates. How novel!

As of right now, I am planning on taking a break from public-facing updates for Follower until January 2025. I’ve had a lot of life things going on that stressed me to the limit and sent me into a pain flare that I’ve been having difficulty recovering from, much less getting pages done, and the situation just kinda snowballed, unfortunately.

I’m using the time between now and then to buffer as many pages as I can get done in that time, so that I can hopefully work a little more smoothly and have a little more breathing room in 2025.

I’ll still be posting things as I work on them to the Chio Club on Patreon and Ko-Fi for members of $1 or more.

In other news, I am also planning to discontinue updates to Twitter. You can find all the platforms I’m actively posting on at radiochio, and you can also join me on Bluesky where I’m currently posting quite a lot: https://bsky.app/profile/radiochio.bsky.social

Anyway, that’s all I have for now. Follow me…wherever…for updates on the comic’s return, or subscribe to emails to get updates sent to you there.

Thanks for reading!

New domain name incoming!

Hey all! One of the projects I’ve been working on in the background while drawing has been difficult is building a shiny new website for Follower. As part of this, I’m going to be finally transferring the whole comic onto its own URL instead of living underneath messenger-comic.com. It’s a lot easier to give people a shorter URL that they might remember than the current one. After 10 years (!!) it’s finally time.

What does this mean for you? If you use RSS to subscribe to the comic, you’ll have to switch to the new feed URL. I will make sure to post about it well in advance so you’ll see something before the site moves. I’m planning to be relatively loud about it so it won’t go unnoticed, even after the move.

If you don’t use RSS (you should, though!) you won’t notice a big change since I am planning to make the old URL eventually automatically redirect to the new one. So when you visit the site, you’ll end up in the new place no matter what.

There will be a short transition period in between where both sites will be alive at the same time, just to make sure people see the change, but then it’ll become an automatic redirect after that.

The best place to keep up with the news is on the social media site of your choice (see everywhere to find me on this page!) or to subscribe to our newsletter.

Thanks for reading! I am continuing to work on new pages during this time too, but slowly due to my ongoing health issues. I’m not giving up, though!

Follower update schedule change!

Follower update schedule change! published on No Comments on Follower update schedule change!

Hey there! This post is just a small heads-up that due to some ongoing stressful life stuff, we are temporarily changing Follower’s update schedule to every other week on Wednesday. That means next week there will be no regular update, but there will be the week after! 

We aren’t sure yet when we will be able to return to a regular weekly update schedule, but we will post about it when we know for sure.

If you are a member of the Chio Club (the name for our collective Patreon/Ko-Fi supporters) you’ll get early access to new pages as they’re made, just as we’ve always done. 

Meanwhile, if you want to be sure you don’t miss an update you can:

If you want to help us make sure no one forgets about the comic while we’re in schedule limbo for a while, we’d be really appreciative if you shared our social media updates and voted for us on TopWebComics

Thank you so much for reading and supporting Follower! We’re far from done with this story, we’ve just got to take it slow for a bit.

I'm decreasing my reliance on social media. Sign up for comic emails!
