So, my webcomic, Twisted Mirrors, is winding down soon. Not like, tomorrow or anything, but we've got about a chapter and a half remaining. Now, I do have a sequel in planning stages, but I've got an important question to ask about it.
...what the heck do I call it?
I'm keeping the "Twisted Mirrors" part of the title - believe it or not, it still totally fits - but I keep going back and forth between just calling it "Twisted Mirrors 2" or "Twisted Mirrors: subtitle-to-be-named".
I don't really think there's anything wrong with numbered sequels like that, but I'm hesitant to do it in this instance just because a numbered sequel sounds a lot more like a direct sequel, and since this will be so far removed from anything in the original story (the world will be the same - the characters, time period, and story will not) it feels a little misleading to go that route. It's the problem Halloween III had.
On the other hand if I go with a subtitle then I actually have to think of one and I am total crap at coming up with titles...the only thing I've been able to come up with so far is WAY too on the nose, and it's annoyingly sticking in my brain every time I try to brainstorm this. Numbered titles are just easier.
...so what do you guys think? Would a numbered title be too boring/off-putting or would it be straight to the point? Would a subtitle be distracting nonsense or would it be a way to flavor a unique story? I'm split on it, but if I'm going to do a subtitle, I need to decide soon so that I can wrack my brains to come up with one before it starts posting. Even though I'm planning a brief hiatus following TM's end, this new one will be coming up quick.
Now, I need to put on my TM2 playlist and get back to actually naming the characters.

Comic Website Down
My website for my comics is currently down. There seems to be some kind of back-end error with the PHP that I thought I fixed, but it doesn't seem to be changing anything. I'm not sure, I don't know much about websites or programming beyond very basic HTML, so it'll probably take me a little while to fix (if I even can). IN THE MEANTIME, I don't intend to slow down updating. All three comics will post on Monday as normal over at The Duck. So if you're looking for updates, they can currently be found at the links below: Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll try to figure it out, but yeah, the comics will continue to update as normal. Thanks for reading!
COMIC GIVEAWAY!
So I've decided to stop going to conventions, but this decision leaves me with a lot of leftover merchandise that is just taking up a lot of space. I spent money to have them made so I don't want to just throw them away. I thought about selling them through my sites, but I didn't think I would get rid of many that way. Then I thought about giving them away while asking for people to pay shipping, but that's still asking people to buy them in a way, and I still probably wouldn't be able to get rid of too many. So that leads to the obvious answer: I'm just going to give them away. Make a request of the available items and they're yours (1 copy of each item per person. Not to limit supply, but to lower the shipping costs on my end somewhat...I can't imagine anyone would want more than one anyway, haha! ^^; ) What do I have to give away? Well, there's Volumes 1 through 4 of the original Twisted Mirrors. It's a much older series with a lot of flaws. The main benefit of this one is
Looking for New Reads?
So, I like telling stories. I guess at the end of the day, that's all there is to it. I know I'm not very good at it, but it's what brings me joy, so I do it anyway. I suppose we've all had a bit of extra time over the past year, so I used mine to create some additional stories. And now I'm posting them online so if you're bored and looking for something to read I've got some options for you. Bear in mind that all of these stories were written by me, they're amateur stuff and this is all just for fun. :D The links to and descriptions of the stories are below. After each description, I'll babble a bit about each project, so if you just want to see a quick couple of lines on what each story is about, just read the first paragraph and skip the rest. (Also, my deepest apologies that I'm not very good at writing a synopsis.)

DA or Wattpad?
So I finished the second draft of a story I've been working on today. There's still a lot that needs to be done, I need to go through it for a third draft and cleans up bits of it. Hell, the damn thing still need a title. But I don't foresee the third draft taking nearly as long as the second draft. I don't necessarily know the "proper" way to go about it, I'm not a writer, but to put it in drawing terms the first draft was a sketch, the second draft is the base drawing and the third draft will clean up the details, so I don't think it will take nearly as much as the first two rounds. So I'm starting to think about where I can possibly post it. I'm not very good, so I'm not interested in looking into anything professional. I just want to be able to share this silly fantasy adventure that I wrote. So my question (finally!) is where should I post it? I've been told Wattpad is good for posting prose stories, but I've also heard that in more recent years it's gone kinda to crap. Does
