Author's Diary - These few months Journey

Zaki's Story

Well hello again, sorry for not updating this for so loooong 🥲
Let me say thank you first for keep supporting us, you guys are so awesome 💖

Well anyway, so... Magnolia Team somewhat expanding, we still have Tempura (translator & proofreading) and now the additional support is Zen, our new admin. Despite so, i still do social media for EBD, but the she manage the social media posts time etc.

Since March I've been preparing a lot for events, we had CF18 and we will go to KOMIKET Pride this June.

I got burnout, i work almost every day 😅 (that's the reason why we haven't post any author diaries) and I manage many financial stuff 😮‍💨

But I also spend some time with others like LARPing and also go for library date 💖

And also, I was truly happy about the events. It's quite funny but I achieve my dream as a cashier 🤣

It was so exhausting but worth it! Selling our merchs and books, and also promoting it, it's something I love to do 😆

Well, now I'm looking forward to KOMIKET Pride!!! It will be our first Pride events 🏳️‍🌈✨️

See you there 💖

Azura's Story

So, we were so busy in real life (health recovery and full time work) and we had no chance to write the Author's Diary. Please forgive us, sob. 😦

These months were kind of turbulent for me. It was full of high and low moment. Here's the summary :

- I went to Bali to experience Nyepi (Day of Silence), and it was a wonderful moment.

- Someone stalked and harassed me these whole years, and we decided to fight for it. Because enough is enough.

- I started my new solo comic project, the name would be Long Distance.

- We went to Comic Frontier 18 and met a lot of local fans! It was so inspiring and motivating. We even got interviewed, whew.

Last but not the least, thank you for supporting us. We made this far because of the community's support and appreciation.

Even when I doubt my own story, you guys still enjoy it and it really made my day. It means a lot for me, and that's what motivates me this far.

The last three months were wild...

First, in March, I would draw progress for our webtoon and special illustration while fasting, I can't stay awake longer during the day time but can pull all-nighters during the evening till night because that's the only time I can have my coffee, I have my sleep schedule messed up but manage to finish the webtoon so our reader doesn't get disappointed 💪🏼
OH and another thing about March! I am such a big fan of Godzilla so I bring him while I watch his Movie!!

April is a special month for me because I get to celebrate my birthday with my dear friends and family, nothing much happened during April tho but still a fun month.

May is when we get really busy, in another way I am happy cuz we get to go to local events again and see online friends who in the same hobby as we do. We can meet our local fans and for me of course my fellow Dinosaur enthusiasm, I am buying a lot of merch too. to sum up. May is busy month... but happy month for me and my friends.
