I read Archipelago a good half a decade ago and I just wanted you to know that I still think about it a lot. Especially Book 6 Page 52, because it's such a vibrant and cool page, but I also have moments where other parts come up in my daily life. I thought of the "You have what I want, and I have what you need" line today, and how cool and satisfying it arc is, which just goes to show what a big impact it's had on me. Thanks for making it!

I haven't experimented much with it yet, if I ever make one I'll make an announcement and stuff.

You might remember me from about 2 years ago. I made a new improved version of that old fan tribute opening thing. I hope you enjoy.

I'm so happy you enjoyed it!
I don't want to overhype or anything, but I'm working on more Archipelagan tributes. I hope that when their time comes you'll enjoy them too ^-^

So...Super late to the party, but I only just found Archipelago on Smackjeeves today. Five hours later, I am six books deep, I love all these precious dorks, I am gross sobbing over them, and I have no regrets.
Proooooobably gonna make fan art in the future. Just saying.

That... that was...
That was so good
Seriously, I read a lot of books and webcomics, but few have managed to capture me like Archipelago did. It grabbed me and didn't let go, and it probably won't for a long time, even though I finished reading it.
I plowed through the whole webcomic over the course of today and yesterday, but it feels like I've known it for so much longer. Is that a weird comment? It feels like a weird comment.
But yeah. Few stories get me so fully immersed in the world and the characters, that it feels like it has its own brand of magic.
I would write a long, in-depth review if I could, but I gotta take some time to recuperate and let everything sink in.
It's already apparent that this comic has become an absolute favorite of mine, no question.
Thank you for such an amazing experience.
I wish you the best of luck on all your present and future endeavors!
definitely expect some fan art from me in the future

I'm so glad to hear that! It's good to know people are still discovering and enjoying it after it's finished. <3 I hope you enjoy the new
comic City of Somnus just as much!

Hi, I just spent the past few weeks reading all of The Archipelago and I LOVED it, congratulations on finishing something so big! It's a really sweet heartfelt story and I can definitely see myself going back to it as a comfort read (and buying the books, of course) Looking forward to seeing what you work on next!

A few years back on your tumblr you'd post requested stories featuring some sort of connection of situation between Arch characters. Are these to be considered canon or just fun
one shot things? I know some of them aren't canon, like the "Hero" one between Raven and Knull, but like, what about the ones that aren't obviously non-canon, are they canon?
π: 0 β©: 1
TheSilverTopHat In reply to CrazyRatopia [2017-06-28 08:22:33 +0000 UTC]
I don't consider anything absolutely canon unless it's in the comic itself but if something doesn't contradict the comic it's certainly a possible
canon. Sorry to give such an unsatisfactory answer. Was there a particular Archipelago one-shot you had in mind when you asked this question?

CrazyRatopia In reply to TheSilverTopHat [2017-06-28 18:47:56 +0000 UTC]
Well there were a couple I think but the ones that are on my mind currently are that one where young Credenza broke Vanesse's nose, and the one that implies Yulalia and Knull have met through dreams.

TheSilverTopHat In reply to CrazyRatopia [2017-07-06 07:28:51 +0000 UTC]
The one with Credenza and Vanesse was probably canon. I think the idea of Yula and Knull communicating through
dreams is REALLY COOL but I don't know if I'll do anything with that yet so for now I'll say that's not canon.

So just found out about this yokai called a Samebito(essentially sharkman), and they are described as having GREEN eyes, and sometimes depicted with red hair. Is this a coincidence? O_O

I hadn't realized how just perfect the timing was with finishing the video.
Glad you like it, thank you for making such an amazing comic to inspire me to do something like this,

They look really nice, and I think they'd help the wiki, and also a mv project I'm working on.
Do whatever is convenient for you.

At the point in the story that the epilogue takes place they are not married yet.

TheSilverTopHat In reply to battlecruiser006 [2016-12-16 09:37:19 +0000 UTC]
I don't think it's going to happen in the comic but it's pretty much a sure thing that they'll get married in the future.
