The online version of the comic has been thoroughly revised for the printed version, and there’s a short story featuring Charlie, John and Leopold that’s exclusive to the book! We haven’t shared even with the Patreons! Here’s a tiny preview:

SideQuested is designed to be a three-book series, but we have a contract for just two books with our publisher. Preorders are critical to show readers’ interest in wanting to hold the story in their hands, and will help us make the argument for them to sign on with SideQuested Book 3. Plus, preorders count towards that important first week of sales, so each preorder purchase gets us closer to bestseller lists!

Thank you very much for your support on this wild ride! We didn’t expect to be here and it’s absolutely bananapants that we are, and we couldn’t have done it without you!

"Charlie is the adopted daughter of a woodcarver, in training to be a librarian, whose life is suddenly turned upside-down when her birth father, the King's Blade, arrives to bring her to the King's court. She meets Prince Leopold, who falls for her despite being betrothed to Princess Robin. So Charlie decides to sneak into the tower holding Robin to tell her the news, only to learn that things go much, much deeper than she expects."

Propaganda:

"Hilarious comic with great character dynamics. It's a story where the characters grab tropes by the throat (or at least try to!)."

Are you ready for SIDE QUESTED IN BOOK FORMAT?!

Because YES! It's gonna happen!

And me and @kbspangler are not even talking about a Kickstarter, it will be via TRADITIONAL PUBLISHER!

It's a SIDEQUESTED update day, and Peony isn't hiding her scorn for Leopold. He must've said something especially Leo-esque. Again.

Speaking of book preorders, if order yourself a copy of SIDEQUESTED you'll make Peony almost as happy as giving her a whole bucket of offal!

Hey hello?

Do you know Side Quested, the webcomic created by me and @kbspangler ?

It's a crazy-bananas Fantasy RomCom with magic, dragons, a pink-goth super strong princess that didn't need rescue, an unfortunate librarian in training, and much more nonsense!

Good morning, folks! @kbspangler is out of town, but I'm here, and today is #webcomic update and we have some Facepalms for y'all!

At sidequested.com , the Queen is done.

At agirlandherfed.com , Josh is also, pretty done.

ROBIN, NO!

We're back! I took last week off for summer break, so there's a scene change at A GIRL AND HER FED.
