There were several different ideas floating around for this page. I tried to make use of what I could, but one common theme I noticed was that people seem ready for this comic to wrap. I ended up not directly using any of the endings submitted, even though I don’t think there was anything wrong with any of them. I’ve just had this final panel as an image in my mind since the first page and wanted to use it for the ending here. I did keep some of the dialogue from the suggested endings, just repurposed a bit here. I hope people will be alright with the direction I took it, and we’ll start a fresh Yuri Ongoing in a few months.

So there was only one script submitted this month, meaning this page is sort of like a throwback for our monthly ongoings in that it’s one Subscriber’s singular vision. This is not personally the direction I would’ve taken this comic at this point, but here we are.

Here’s page five of Beach Treat! I don’t think there’s much I can say about this page right now, but I tried to keep the story moving in a reasonable direction with the scripts I had. It felt like some ideas were eager to jump to a point that didn’t feel natural to me from where we were, and I hope those Subscribers don’t get discourage that their ideas didn’t show up here. I’m not against them, but I don’t want to force them in just to move the comic in that direction. I think this page flows naturally from the last, and I’m curious to see where we go from here.

Here’s the fourth page of Beach Treat, our Yuri Ongoing comic on SubscribeStar. Normally I let the Subscribers fully handle ideas for new pages, but I had this image of the first two panels here in my head and wanted to do them. So I counted that as the first panel of the four allotted, and let the Subscribers handle the rest. Hope y’all enjoy the page!

Of the scripts submitted for this page, I found a few common themes I tried to incorporate into the final product. Kobeni’s really getting ganged up on here, and I actually have an idea for my own I’d like to maybe force my way into the next page.

For the second page of Beach Treat I had a difficult balance to strike with the submitted scripts. The final page I settled on is kind of its own thing removed from any one direction people were pushing the comic, I think, but uses elements from what was submitted to get there. The first panel is something I really wanted to work into this comic but didn’t think would fit in later, though, so I kinda pulled an executive decision to fit it in.
