Fun Story to Share.

I got my (now 18-year-old) daughter into Ao3 back in 2021. I taught her she should always comment - even if the fic looks old or abandoned or whatever. She did.

Well - she got this email this morning:

The fic was written in 2014 and essentially abandoned.

Bethy read and reviewed in 2021 (and was actually the only person who had commented at all).

Today in 2025 - the final chapter was posted by the author and this was her reply to Bethyโ€™s comment.

Never question whether a fic is too old to comment on.

Aika and Zira look slightly older to me in the last comic, is that intentional or am I seeing things?

Yeah! I've been trying to land on more solid, older looking, animation friendly styles (for reasons). Though I don't really like how they look in that comic. It felt kinda unnatural for me to draw and also doesn't quite match the really cartoony expression work I tend to do like in the pilot. I've kinda landed on a look I like tho!

Original Designs

Designs I used for that comic

Designs I've landed on for now! A bit of an in between of the last two
