Thanks for reading, everybody!

The campaign is complete! What a success! Thanks everybody, you turned up like crazy.
If you have questions about logistics or shipping, or if you missed the campaign for whatever reason, you can contact Zoop at hello@wearezoop.com and they’ll set you up. They’re handling all the production and fulfillment. I believe they can still take orders until production begins.
Here are some things I drew during the campaign (you can see them full-size by clicking on them). We got two big prints, some stickers and a bookmark. I made some pins too, I’ll post a pic when they actually exist. That smoldering Cinder pic is the cover for a little 32-page Tome 4 preview comic we’re sending out for free to everyone who ordered; that was our 500k stretch goal. Really cool I get to do that.
Not sure how busy I’ll be this month; the work I have left to do to get the book ready to print isn’t much but takes a lot of time, if you know what I mean. Emails and decisions and proofreading, all that. Still, there should be a new IRO chapter by the end of the month. AHS I might wait until I’ve got enough for a big chapter at the end of the year.
Keep you posted. Thanks again,

The campaign is live, go get your books!
We’re reprinting Tomes 1 and 2 with the updated pages and new covers, and publishing Tome 3 for the first time. There’s a special Moonshade Edition that comes in a slipcase, and some other stuff.
We’re having to announce stretch goals as we go because the campaign was an instant and CRAZY SUCCESS, thank you everybody! I expected people to turn out but not in such force, with such face-melting intensity.
All the info is on the page so check it out, spread the word, and if you’ve got any questions feel free to hit me up by email or on bluesky. For logistical stuff such as shipping and timeframes, you can contact Zoop, because they’re handling all the production and fulfillment. The campaign will be on for 30 days.
Thanks again!

It’s that fuckin’ heartless Pasta School! Got a few new pages for ya, kind of a tease I know.
The IRO book campaign is launching September 2nd!! Sign up here!

OK I think it’s going down, I’m gonna do my books through Zoop, it’s like a little kickstarter/publisher that handles all the production and fulfilment stuff. We’ll be reprinting Tomes 1 and 2, and printing Tome 3 for the first time. I hope to have some fancy Special Editions with variant covers available too. Tentatively launching in September!
So if you want books SIGN UP HERE and share this link around: https://zoop.gg/c/irovedoutinsearchoftruthandlove
Hope you like the new cover! It’s the cover layout I’ll be going with for the whole series now. I’m going to replace the old covers on the site, but I still like them, so I’ll be including them as bonus files in the IRO packs you can get from the shop. If you’ve already bought those packs, you’ll get an email from me at some point saying you can download the ‘new’ files. I probably won’t get around to that until everything is finalized for the print run. I fixed a couple typos and changed the sea-shanty in Tome 2* but am otherwise leaving the books as they are, so don’t worry about me going in and fucking around with everything.
*Thought the original’s meter was too weird, its lyrics needlessly opaque, and that I could make it a little funnier and clearer in its meaning. Maeryll still hums the original in Tome 1, though, so I guess that’s the version she knows…

My mailing list. I’ll only bother you when I’ve got something new in the shop or big news.
