Mirror Sites are Back! Plus Merritt's Story Update

I've been a little quiet lately because, yet again, I've been doing a whole lot of under-the-hood updates this month.  But now I have some new stuff to unleash!

DOTU's mirror sites are back!

TAPAS

Ch4 mobile episodes start today! (pg-13 version)
https://tapas.io/series/demonoftheunderground/info

WEBTOON

Ch4 mobile episodes start November 12 on Webtoon - it's a little ahead of Tapas right now, hence the later start! (pg-13 version) https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/demon-of-the-underground/list?title_no=60184 

GLOBALCOMIX

Ch2 is now up in interactive format on GlobalComix! Ch3 coming soon! (original R rating) https://globalcomix.com/c/demon-of-the-underground/chapters/en/2/1/1

Getting the mirror sites (particularly Tapas and Webtoon) back up and running were a HUGE task, because both sites had changed their content guidelines, which required me to make a PG-13 edit of the entire comic.  This is also the reason I integrated vertical-scroll mobile episodes into DOTU's home site, because I needed a place where I could still host mobile episodes with their original R rating.  But mirror sites like Tapas and Webtoon are a really important part of bringing in new readers, which is great for the overall health of the comic, so it was pretty vital for me to get this done.

BIG THANKS to Celeste and Misha for their editing help for the PG-13 versions!

AND don't forget that you can read both single pages and mobile episodes (and read ahead) at DOTU's main site! (original R rating)

$2 Patrons note: We have about 3 more pages before the next scene compilation!

Thank you so much to all of you who are sticking around just to support the comic!  I promise the next compilation will be worth the wait!  By the way, we're currently 9 patrons away from permanent public updates!

And finally, a Merritt's Story update!

All 3 final chapters are with the beta readers, but the beta readers are pretty busy right now!  So it looks like we'll probably be having a November 5 release.  If I can, I'll still post an excerpt on October 29!  I'm just waiting to get some feedback first before I post anything that might go through major edits.

Book 2 was a huge chonk of story, which I wrote on top of regular work and a separate trilogy (Lychgate) that is now between homes.  So I'm VERY excited to be this close to finished!
