Sine I've never been able to get 'The Duck' to let me log in... I'm dropping this note here... Why is it that none of the other readers have picked up on one obvious (at least to me) thing? Janey never stopped loving Sarah.
Yes, she cheated. But Sarah helped make it happen, she pushed her away... Sarah's own insecurity and discomfort with herself made her afraid to be open to expanding their physical relationship... Janey tried to bring her along as she wanted to share EVERYTHING she could think of with Sarah, including as much intimacy as possible. It was Sarah that said no, insisting on tight limits on what was and was not acceptable, even after having a wonderful experience 'outside her norm' she still wasn't willing to open up and in effect, pushed her away... Subliminally that plays on a person, 'They don't really love me...' kind of thing going on and all, after all, if I'm being this open and trying to express my feelings for her physically and she's rejecting me... Then... Perhaps she doesn't feel for me the way I feel for her? Janey now starting to rekindle some of that isn't a 'cheat' or 'trick' or whatever... It's her true feelings coming out and Sarah, no matter what happens may still be too immature to have an adult relationship and that will suck, truly.
Just wanted to touch base after all this time of enjoying your story and well... With what's happening now, this seemed like a good moment to mention these thoughts.

Hi Buell, I hope all is well with you! I know it's been over a year since you wrote this but I've always been so busy with fitting in the comic stuff that checking places like this just started to slide. In fact since joining DA many moons ago I totally forget the place exists until I'm looking for a a really nice stock pic.
Anyways I'm here today and cringeing at the pile of comments left over the past year that I've clearly missed. You wrote a lot though, so despite the amount of time that's passed I really felt I had to respond after reading it.
Firstly, WOW, this was such a lovely and passionate piece to read this morning and tbh it got to me a little. Firstly it seems so long ago now since Sarah and Janey split up that I'd forgotten just how strong the reaction was at the time to the affair. I knew I was treading on very thin ice as the majority of readers had a 'cheat one me and you're out!' attitude in RL so it was expected to show through in the responses but like like you and a small band of others I felt there were deeper issues worth considering and the main being that Sarah always seemed to have more time for everyone else than she did her own g/f. I never portrayed Janey as being perfect either and at times she did come across as pretty selfish too so I did feel and still do that given enough time to mature and experience more from other relationships the two would eventually realise they really had something special that few relationships ever have, which would eventually bring them back together with amuch better appreciation of each other and a stronger commitment to integrity for a happy ending.
Thanks again for taking the time to write all this and I apologise for not having responded sooner.

Actually, go back to the pages concerning the cheating and read the comments. This topic is very hotly debated with some such as myself (Lunaris Victoria) and DarkVisor pointing out exactly what you have.

Sorry for the late reply hon, I rarely check in on DA any more so I'm always embarassingly late responding!!

OH MY GOSH HI!!!!! OH MY GOSH!!!!!
IT HAS BEEN WAY TOO LONG! Yes, I'm doing great and making comics is my full time job!
HOW ARE YOU?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OH MY GOSH indeedy!!! I'm fine thanks. It has been so long since I last saw any of your stuff. So what are you doing comic wise, and are you doing it for a living?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe! That's good to hear!
I've been working on a webcomic called Space School for gosh, 4 years or something now? I started it basically right as I graduated highschool so the beginning is ROUGH AND OLD and since I could only work on it so much-- that's why I've been working on it for so long.
(Also, I work in color now, so that makes updating a lot harder too)
The other half of my work comes from my erotic comics which are a few stories that I also update once a week or so. I keep myself very busy cuz I like it a lot!
I also just do commissions and stuff and sell things at conventions, stuff like that!
I work thru Patreon which has really changed my life-- been doing so for almost 2 years now and I believe I've been a self-employed freelance artist for about 3 years now. 
It sucks when tax season comes around but there's honestly nothing like living and fulfilling my life long dream-- especially at such a young age!!! ;U; I'M VERY PROUD OF MYSELF! It's not always easy, but I love it!

Hi Chibi, I seriously wonder about the way my mind works some times! I checked for a reply about two hours after posting my message to you back in April and assumed I'd just been lucky to catch you that day. I then checked back next morning I think and then after that just forgot about DA yet again for a couple of months! It was so much easier to remember people when we were all hovering around the Duck together but now my friends are scattered all over and I just lose track!
Anyways, I'm really impressed and excited to hear you are doing so well! I know money must be tight as I don't know anyone in comics who is sailing on a decent income but here in the UK especially most jobs are so low paid anyway and those that do pay decent money are also very stresssful jobs so doing what you love and getting by is a success in my book. I'm especially pleased for you because my memory of you is a powerhouse of enthusiasm to turn work out and nobody I know ever put as much practice in as you did so hopefully you'll just keep growing and the nice thing is that as you build up your contacts list you'll always have plenty of people who will no doubt keep coming back for more.
I'm actually here today because although I've let DA slip like so many of my other ventures, I got an email during the week to say one of my readers had sent me a gift her as a Core member for a year. I assumed at first it was spam or scam but he doesn't know my email so it felt genuine and coming on here today to check I realsied it's true! The second lovely thing about signing in was that it reminded me of you again too and of course I'm now just replying to the message you sent. I'm so out of touch with DA that I don't even really understand what is so good about being a Core member as to me it was letting me display my work anyway which was the sole purpose of being here but I'm not ungrateful, just a bit confused! lol It's cost him $50 so now I'm cringeing because if I don't make some kind of effort here with it then that's really wasting a nice gesture and maybe opportunity to make some money myself. I don't know, I've so rarely thought about making money from art and the business side of it is never my driving force for doing the stuff, but our shops closing soon due to internet competition and I can see now I have a choice of trying to make some money through my art or get a job doing something totally disconnected. That's why I see you as a sucess because if I can get by doing commissions and freelance illustrations or something then maybe I can get by on that too but to be honest I've always hated doing pics that I was not inspired to do, in the few instances I have, I never kept copies as I was glad to see the back of them! lol
This is getting long so I'd better stop. At least now I've been manipulated back into this site, I'll have to keep in touch with it and actually start posting things again so It'll be a constant reminder to say hi more often!

Hey!
I'm so sorry for my late reply, I had a bunch of weird stuff to deal with!
Anyways-- gosh! Thank you! I'm so glad to hear your kind words and that you have a good memory of me from the past//
I remember you were ALWAYS a huge inspiration to me back in the DrunkDuck days and I always remember just so much of the kind things you did for me and said to me! I really can't thank you enough for encouraging me back then! <3
Oh! That's nice to hear about the core membership-- but I understand that it's confusing at first because it doesn't really actually do much?
Mostly it just turns off ads (though I have an ad blocker) and let's you browse for art and such easier? And let's you customize your journals and stuff?
But hey! At least it's motivation to start posting more again!
I def think a career with art online is something anyone can achieve-- and I think a career with it where you draw what you want all the time is become easier to get too!
I do commissions still but the bulk of my paycheck each month comes from me just making the comics I wanna make thru Patreon. (Have I mentioned this before? Sorry if I'm a broken record, haha!)
www.patreon.com/DarkChibiShado… (This is my main one, and I have another one for my other webcomic I run!)
Patreon is a really great site and something I would recommend to any artist looking to make work consistently and who has a good idea to run with!
Are you still making comics by chance? Cuz I would love to see some of your more recent work!
Anyways, I'm totally rambling! If you ever wanna talk to me about Patreon or commissions or anything like that I'd love to!
Honestly tho-- just hearing from you is really great and I'm glad to know you're around and kicking. <3 <3 <3 <3

Hi! I don't have a drunk duck account (yet, LOL), but I found your comic 'Simply Sarah' yesterday, I don't remember where, but I just did, and I wanted to tell you how much I love it. I don't remember doing anything much today, except reading and reading it, till I had read everything you've done so far.
It deals with a lot of issues I'm dealing with right now, or I have dealt with in the past, so the whole storyline is really touching to me personally. Also, your art is simply stunning! So I want to thank you so much for doing the comic, please keep up the good work, I will surely be following you for more awesomeness

Skull f**k him, skull f**k him, skull f**k him with your Drunk Duck award. Then cut off his penis and feed it to him. The guy had one other comic up, and it isn't a review, it's looking for attention. Just say the word, Sky. Say the word and I'll feed him his own fingers and toes.

I don't have a drunkduck account, but I've been reading your comic for about six months (I read one page that was linked from Yu+Me then spent the rest of the weekend surgically attached to my computer)--and I love it. Especially back then, when I was still really confused about my sexual orientation and what it meant, it was so comforting to read about a lesbian character who was also sweet, strong, and believable. You've done me--and, I'm sure, many others--a world of good, just by being out there and writing about the experiences that actually matter. I'm really sensitive to criticism and tend to believe the worst about myself, so if you're the same way, I want you to know that there are people out there, whom you've never met, never spoken to, never knew about--whom you have touched deeply, and who greatly admire your courage and talent. I signed up for a deviantart account so I could tell you this, and all I can hope for is that you know which voices to listen to.
Keep well, and keep on writing.

Thankyou so much Jfernz. It is the comments like this one of yours that really give me the incentive to continue with SS in the low moments, and make doing SS so much pleasure all the rest of the time.
Art is all about emotions, thoughts, and feelings isnt it, so regardless of talent we are all expressing ourselves as best as we can. I think that's what makes artists and writers so vulnerable. a good piece of art or writing portrays our thoughts and emotions honestly and without varnish, which is something we tend to hide in public.

Okays, I don't have a drunk duck account, and they sent me a broken link when I tried to sign up and verify, so I'm commenting on the update here.
Shoot the jackass. Shoot him with last years award for Best Over All Comic. The guy can't draw for shit and all he does is whine about how bad OTHER PEOPLE'S comics are. These are signs of an insecure little mama's boy who can't produce anything decent himself.
And speaking as someone who CAME from an abusive childhood, you pretty much nailed it. Especially the attitude of the social workers. Faced with an adults story and a child's, no matter how much proof the child has, they ALWAYS believe the adult.
So like I said, shoot him. Shoot him, then I'll cut off his legs and set his house on fire. You wouldn't have so many fans, or have won finalist in so many categories, if your work really did suck.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go hunt this guy's website down and flame him.

WayfareAngel, thankyou for making an account just to leave me this very emotional message. I didn't intentionally mean to stir up hatred against this guy, I just wanted the reassurance of knowing that people still felt that SS was worth doing. I was going through a bit of a sad patch and the the guy was obviously looking to wind me and my readers up for some reason so I don't feel sorry for him. I hope the poor sap wasn't stupid enough to give you his address though!!!

Ive been following your comic for some time, and im a great fan of your work.
Your comic reminds me a lot of the troubles ive had with my own girlfriend, and its almost like reading my own story.
The latest pages with janey telling sarah that she never stopped loving her happened to me and really struck home
You are one of the reasons im going to be starting my own webcomic
much love

Tanyarghh, I love that name btw!!! I really love doing the love scenes. I get very emotional doing those pages as they tend to be a mix of things I wished I'd said and heard too along with so many lovely memories of just holding hands, kissing, and cuddling; feeling suddenly loved again instead rejected, and the pleasure of knowing that my own fears had been based on wrong assumptions.
I have to come see your comic!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh i know just what you mean. A love scene is something very intimate, and to draw it makes it very intimate to you since its from your head. You get to draw what happened, what could of happened and control the endings.
And its great that certain memories such as the ones you said can be relived over again when drawing them, i could draw them over and over again if i could. But then my comic will never progress.
You and your comic is very inspiring to me, and my comic has a long way to go before people get to see it
And thanks about my name, it was a joke my friend made at school that kinda stuck
its a bit piratey

Skye: Count me in as a big fan of both your artwork here and of S.S. also! I've been following your, your???? God, I hate to call it a comic, because S.S. is so much more than that. The story line is so well thought out and compelling. Your artwork on this site is brillant! Having an Architectual/Engineering background, I was especially facinated with your Slate Castle and Book Store drawings. Really nice work! As is all of your other work. Post more, please!
