I love my comic. My comic is ma' baby.

I'm just torn that my comic relies on references? Like I tell myself it's "parody" and "satire", but something about using other media instead of making my own worlds feels weird. Especially when I'm working on a second project where my co-writer and I have this rule where we're like "LET'S BE AS ORIGINAL AS POSSIBLE" and it's like the most thrilling thing ever.

I wish I could find a compromise, but I already planned the whole thing and I don't want to shake it up because what I have for TSFI is GOOD STUFF. Fans love it, but yeah. Something I won't do again in the future.

I think if I WERE to make a sequel to this comic (and that's a big IF) then I'd make the worlds where the anime characters come from more original? Like "Oh wow, they're from THIS genre! That's so cool!". Instead of "Lol, they're fighting Light Yagami".

But as for this comic, yeah I'm stuck with it lol. I try to make the best of it though like how the Date Arc is Naota pretending to be from another genre and the whole theme is "accepting yourself" which is ironic since well... he doesn't know he's a BL character. He has an identity crisis.

What about you guys?
