Today Inquisitor Maddox is officially 1 year old!
I first posted chapter 1 the 7th of May of 2025... how time flies... 89 chapters done... 702 pages posted.... in tumblr is harder to count things but these are the Kudos on ao3.... 387... that's crazy.... like even if many hit Kudos at the start and then stopped reading that's a fucking ton of people...
When I was a teen I always wanted to do a webcomic! I posted 4 pages and that was too much. Everytime I tried, I never finished them. My record back them was a comic of 18 pages. Then, 1 or 2 years ago, I managed to do my longest comic with 3 chapters, 30 pages all together. I was accepting I could never do something much longer than that, and just do short stories and call it a day. But hey!! Look at this!! So much done and still going! The passion is still in my heart!! In one hand, I found a system that works for me (having chapters on back up to post them slowly without having to rush self imposed deadlines). Also, making very simple art, almost no color. Very sketchy lines. A lot of "better done than perfect." So many times people complimented me saying "you draw so well! I could never do that!" and that's the last thing I want with my art. I rather have people see my art and say "that's not that big of a deal, I could do that". So I hope you see my sketchy lines, and amount of white backgrounds, and typos and say "I can do the stuff I want to do too! It doesn't have to be perfect!"
When I started this comic, I was like "fuck the fear of leaving things unfinished! I will start it and let's see how it goes!" and I would had not be able to do so much without the encouragement of everyone reading this story!! I know so many people don't start webcomics of fics that are not finished for the fear of not being able to see the end of the story. And I am very thankful for everyone who bet on me and started reading this anyways. I hope we can reach the end, but most important, enjoy the path <3
So I want to thank you all so much! To the people who had been reading from the start!! To everyone who ever left me lovely comments, tags and replies!! To everyone who shares it and likes it! To the people who started reading and stopped, and to the people who arrived later and leaves me an ask saying they read the whole thing. And to the people I can see silently liking each chapter 1 by 1 and then getting a follow <3 And to the people who didn't interact ever at all and are just reading in silence, thanks a lot for enjoying this story. Now everyone have a nice day <3
