I’d like to give a humongous thank you to everyone who stopped by my Artist Alley table at Kawaii Kon to say hi or buy things.  Also, a great big thanks to the folks at Super Good for being awesome table mates, as well as the Nemu-Nemu people for actually recognizing me when I went to buy their comic!  (Glee!)

I still have a few copies of the Days of our LIver and MacRatLove in Tokyo mini-comics for sale for anyone who wasn’t able to make it out.  The comics are $3 each or buy both for $5.  Shipping costs will depend on where you’re located, so just drop me an email at sophielynette at yahoo dot com.

That being said.. and this is IMPORTANT

I’ve decided to put the comic on indefinite hiatus.  There’s no point putting it off.  The truth is I’d love to keep updating but I just don’t have the time or the motivation for it anymore.  MacRatLove was my first attempt at creating a webcomic and I want to thank everyone who supported me along the way, I truly appreciate it.  I’d like to someday get back into comics again, if not with MacRatLove then with something else.  And I’ve already purchased my Artist Alley table for next year’s Kawaii Kon so who knows, maybe I’ll have something put together again.

Thank you everyone, and goodbye.

If you’ll be in Honolulu April 10-12 2009, you should definitely come to Kawaii Kon.  I’ll be at table 31a in the Artist Alley so please come and say hi!  Among other things, I’ll be selling a limited edition 8 page mini-comic entitled “MacRatLove in Tokyo”, as well as physical copies of my 24 Hour Comic Day entry,  “Days of our Liver”.  Hope to see you there!

Holy crap, look, a fully colored comic!  Does this mean that MacRatLove is back from hiatus?  Well, kind of.  I’m not going to guarantee that I’ll stick to the update schedule, or even to the two comics a week thing, but I -will- be actively writing and updating while I continue to work on other projects.

For those of you who cheered me on with NaNoWriMo– thanks so much!  I managed to hit 50k words ahead of schedule and even finished the novel.  It’s still very much a rough draft, so don’t expect to see it in your local Borders anytime in the next year, but I’ll keep everyone updated on the progress.

Let’s not call it a hiatus.  Let’s just call it a free and flexible update schedule.  I plan on still drawing and posting the comics, although I can’t say they’ll be regular or frequent.  And I’m sorry about that, I just gotta follow my muse, and my muse just isn’t drawing right now.

In the meantime, I’m working on NaNoWriMo (11k words so far!), my new blog, and writing music.  If you wanna keep in touch with me, follow me on Twitter.  Cheers, and thanks for the patience.
