*HYUGE GASP* OH MAN . YOU'RE ON DA????Β 
My friend sent me your webcomic a while ago and I BINGE READ IT over this past weekend. It took me an entire day because I'd keep pausing to go clean/do a thing then happily bounce back to reading it like "ok I vacuumed, time for the treat of reading the next 20 pages!!"

I LOOOVE Daughter of the Lilies, it's such a fantastic read!! <3 I've never loved an Orc character as much as I love yours and Thistle is a wonderfully compelling protagonist <333 Thanks SO MUCH for bringing us a great story, I am soooo looking forward to more!Β

It's okay. I've never seen a religious webcomic author before and due to the interplay of many elemnts that are rare in Christian media due to controversy (such as magic and dragons) I wondered how you felt about this other controversial subject.

MegSyv In reply to FanofSMBX [2018-03-06 17:21:38 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, the comic so far has offended everyone pretty equally, so I generally just keep my thoughts to myself and let the comic do the talking for me. Everyone's gonna attach their own meaning to it, and I try to stay out of that process.

Thanks for being so understanding!

Thanks but no thanks. There are many other communities where you can discuss this issue in relation to the comic, though! There are plenty of links on the website. Thanks for your message.

Thanks!

My girlfriend showed me Daughter of the Lilies yesterday and I couldn't put it down til I was caught up.Β  What you have made is truly remarkable.

It is so refreshing to see Christian fiction that is eager to engage in multiculturalism and support for LGBT people.Β  As a transgender Christian, too often I encounter other Christians that want to retreat from the world and condemn people for just being different.Β  I can't help but feel this attitude is the opposite of what God intends for us.Β  The themes of compassion, love, forgiveness, and laughter in your work strike me as reflecting the actual work of the Holy Spirit.

Additionally, the themes of dealing with depression, anxiety, and discrimination resonate with my own struggle with all of those things.Β  Fear of rejection has stopped me from opening up with too many people to count.Β  Thistle and her friends give me so much hope that I can deal with the challenges I face too.

Thank you so much for making this comic.Β  I look forward to seeing what else you have in store for these characters!

What you have to say really means a lot to me, and touches on the real reason why I wanted to write this story. You validate that purpose and make me determined to keep going. Thank you very much. You are great. I hope you have a special corner of happiness in your part of the world, and that you are well. Keep on keepin on.Β

Hiya!! I'm a big fan of your DOTL comic ;v ;. I just love the originality of the story, and how much of a fresh take it is for me personally

Im also planning on starting my own web-series (or comic book or WHATever its called lmfao :,D)
the only problem is I just??? don't know where to start. I have basically all the story in my head still, and more of it developing (because I develop my characters by daydreaming all day to music AHAAAAA.....), buT I CANT TRANSLATE IT ONTO PAPER??? it all decides to like, take vacation from my memory and im just like "fUKCK, how do stories are made?? hHH??"

If you can't answer right away that's totally cool!! I'm also open to you noting me as well when you get the time, because gotdam you seem swamped ;v ;

MegSyv In reply to Funklebird [2018-01-11 19:35:09 +0000 UTC]

Hey, thanks!! I'm so glad you're enjoying it!

Here's a comic I made about starting DotL:Β bludragongal.tumblr.com/post/1…

Maybe it doesn't feel like it's working on paper, but you just gotta keep putting stuff on paper and eventually it'll start flowing. You just gotta do it a bunch until you get unstuck. You don't have to get it perfect the first time, so do a bunch of different scenes and write them all the way through to some kind of stopping point, no matter how much you're struggling with it. Some of the stuff you do in that first draft that you like,Β you can incorporate into later drafts. It's all part of the process.

Maybe try starting with the climax, and working out from there? I'm just gonna take a guess and say that you're trying to start at the very beginning of your story and trying to power through to the stuff you actually want to tell - why not skip ahead to the things you actually wanna draw and write, and see what happens from there? Don't be afraid of working on the story out of order, and focus on the stuff that you're excited to get to. There's no rules against that! You can tie all your favorite scenes together as you continue to finalize your plot (although it may mean you have to trash some of the scenes you like that unfortunately end up bogging down the story, but that's just bonus content you can put on Patreon or something).

Ultimately, ask yourself what gets you excited about your story, and then just start with that and work outwards from there. It's probably smarter to do that, anyway, because you're naturally creating a story that supports and foreshadows a good climax, which is what you want!

Anyway, good luck, I hope this helped a little bit!

Happened upon your DoTL comic yesterday and fell very much in love. I ADORE the themes and underlying issues that you're going over in the story and it has been I think the most inspirational read in a loooong time for me.Β 

The characters are great and your humor/style is very original. Some of it reminds me of how I hope to do things with my own works but also it is totally unique and not something I would have thought of.

It is also so cool to see your art improve as the story progresses. The panels get more dynamic and the flow gets richer!

I've already doodled Thistle during work... gosh i love this stuff so much. SO YEAH I'm excited to follow this story!

Hey, thank you very much!! I'm so glad you like it so much!
It's been a real trip so far - lots of anxiety, hearing a lot of cool people discussing it, being approached by people because of the themes... it's been a blast! I'm going to keep doing my best to make it the best it possibly can be. I'm glad to hear how it's affected you so positively!Β 

You're so dang good! The lines are so dynamic and the colors are so bright! I can't wait to see what stories you're working on!Β

I don't think I can explain in words how positive it affected me haha xD It's like... I feel like i've been learning things spiritually the past few years and your comic has demonstrated a certain "oompf" that my journey has had. It's a blessing to have found your work. C:

Thank you!! That is very nice to hear~ I can't wait to see my stories too haha! The more time passes the more I'm ready to get started. Soon. Very soon. xD
