A Farewell To Parties Page 27
When I started making The Muse Mentor, I was pretty sure nobody would read it. I expected to spend 5 or so years making it in dutiful silence, because it was just a tiny story, really, but one that I wanted to put out there. It meant a lot to me to have a project to steadily work on, with characters I cared about, but I didn’t dare think it was going to capture anyone else’s attention.
Over the years – and it’s wild to think it HAS been years! – I have seen names repeatedly pop up in the comments and shares, I’ve read your emails and messages and tumblr tags, I’ve delighted at your gift art and theorizing, and I’ve laughed, smiled, thought deeply, and even gotten a little misty at some of your responses. I didn’t know you’d be here, and I certainly didn’t think you’d stay.
I’m so incredibly grateful for you, whether you are a new reader or old. Thank you for giving a chance to a small story. I hope you’ve liked it even a snip as much as I’ve loved watching you read and react to it.
…oh! And we still have 9 pages to go. ?
I’ve only been reading for less than a year, and this is probably my second comment, but I just want to say thank you for letting us read such a wonderful comic. ♥
really truly, i’m proud to have found this and followed it. promise me you end it well, though! only the best of endings for this
<3 Rock on, Amy.
Nice. He got the answer he needed. Reading for some time, first comment. Not looking forward to the end, but looking forward to the end, if you know what I mean.
Aaaah! Esteban’s smile is killing me in the best way possible <333
And it's so crazy to think this is almost over! I remember seeing your concept art on deviantart and just thinking the characters looked rad, and then being so excited when you started the comic!
And I must say I'm really liking where you're going with this ending so far!
“…and we still have 9 pages to go.”
Amy, you’re making some of us CRY! -wails of overly dramatic fangirls everywhere-
I had the fortune to find this comic very early on. I’ve occasionally commented, often speculated, and sometimes have shared it with my family. Today’s strip matches my speculations from back when you first showed how muses “ascend”, and what I know of Esteban. Now I get to see if my secondary speculations pan out.
You’ve written this well, and you’ve drawn it better. Kudos from another (not as good as you) comic artist.
YES! YES! YEEEEEEEEEEES! I’m sorry, that question and that answer just made me really excited. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful story and your beautiful art with us.
i used to watch you on deviant art that’s how i found out about TMM and its always interesting and fun to read webcomics by your favourite artists i never commented before but i’ve been reading it since the day it started good job i can’t wait for final page
cheers
I’m so glad I stumbled upon this comic, it’s been truly enriching.
I stumbled on this comic way back in its very first pages and have read it dutifully since; over the years it has become one of my favorite webcomics and one I’ll admit I wish to have on my bookshelf because I believe it is a truly meaningful story. Its message is beautiful and hopeful, and I’m both sad and thrilled to see it reaching its conclusion. Thank YOU for creating and sharing it with us! <3
Like I said just a few strips ago. I just discovered this strip and so sad to know it is just about done with. I hope you find a way to breathe new live into it. I’d sure be happy to read more and I sounds some others would as well.
Any way, Thanks.
Its a lovely comic and i have enjoyed reading it!!
I’m going to die when this comic ends…
Your comic is one of the best I’ve ever read and I’ve always been so psyched every time Friday comes around/when it’s time for you to update.
I really can’t wait to buy the print form of this wonderful story!!!
BRILLIANT.
