Dear loyal readers, followers, and visitors of MoonSticks,
I’m sorry to suddenly drop this on you, but as of 13th July 2010, MoonSticks will no longer be updated on a weekly Friday schedule. Instead, comics will be updated on a “whenever” basis, depending on how inspired I am. The reason for this decision is I want to produce quality work, and sometimes having a schedule can become overwhelming and feel more like a chore. I still do love Sailor Moon very much and producing these comics has always been a lot of fun. However, there are times when things become too stressful and the joy is taken away from it.
I want to thank every one of you for all your support and encouragement over the past year. MoonSticks wouldn’t even be around today if it wasn’t for you, always visiting and leaving such positive feedback. I have come to really enjoy the conversations with each and every one of you, and I hope we’ll still keep in touch.
I don’t want to go into too much detail but you can visit my blog for a more personal view on this matter. It was a hard decision but I hope you all understand.
This is not the end of MoonSticks, and new comics will be posted from time to time, just not in the usual weekly fashion. Please continue to support us and hope you enjoy the comics that do turn up in the future.
Love,
Chibi Jennifer

Chers lecteurs fidèles, followers et visiteurs de MoonSticks,
Je suis désolée de soudainement vous annoncer cette nouvelle, mais dès le le 13 juillet 2010, MoonSticks ne fera plus de plublication hebdomabaire (toute les semaines) basée sur l'emploi du temps du Lundi. A la place, les comics seront plubliés sur la base du "possible", dependant comment j'ai été inspirée. La décision à cette décision est que je veux produire un travail de qualité, et parfois avoir un emploi du temps peut devenir pesant et se faire plus ressentir comme une corvée. Je continue d'adorer Sailor Moon énormement et produire ces comics ont toujours été une source d'amusement. Cependant, il y a des fois où les choses deviennent trop stressantes et que la joie s'en aille.
Je veux remercier chacun de vous pour tout votre support et encouragement durant l'année qui s'est écoulée. MoonSticks ne serait jamais devenu ce qu'il est aujourd'hui si cela n'avait pas été pour vous, vous qui continuez de visiter et laisser d'agréables commentaires. J'apprécie les conversations avec chacun et chacune d'entre vous, et j'espère que nous resterons en contact.
Je ne veux pas aller trop dans les détails mais vous pouvez visiter mon blog ( http://blog.windy-goddess.net/2010/07/12/the-future-of-moonsticks/ ) pour une vue plus personnelle de la situation. C'était une décision très difficile mais j'espère que tous vous comprenez.
Ceci n'est pas la fin de MoonSticks, et de nouveaux comics seront postés de temps en temps, seulement ce ne sera plus de façon quotidienne. S'il-vous-plaît continuez de nous encourager et j'espère que vous apprécierez les comics qui paraîtreront dans le futur.
Amour,
Chibi Jennifer

I loved reading your comics! So much! I got my sister to read them as well, we’re big fans now. I hope to see more up sometime, but I don’t think you should be doing something if it feels like a chore for you. So ignore the negative comments.. I think you should make a book of these comics and sell them. n-n I’d buy it~ They’d be the perfect little thing to read if you need some cheering up. LONG LIVE 4-KOMA!~~!
Thanks so much for being supportive :) Thanks for sharing it with your sis too! Glad you both enjoy it!
its been months, cant you do one monthly* ?
It’s my new years resolution.. I’ll try my best!

What if you decided to hold a contest to help inspire you!? Not to mention pass time. During that time you can build up a huge stack of comics! That way when ever there is a week when you don’t feel like posting one, you will have tons in storage to pick from.
The contest could be a ‘Make your own Moonsticks Comic contest’. And the person who makes the best one will win tons of prizes, not to mention having their comic featured in the ‘Moonsticks Gallery’.
It would be a great way to get your audience involved, and maintain a fanbase while you recover from your lack of inspiration. :)
i agree this is a great idea
i love your comics too much to just quit on it,
be inspired soon;DD
Appreciate the message avy :)
This is really pathetic. People are still posting saying that they understand three to four months later! Yet there still hasn’t been anything from “CHIBI Jennifer”. Coming to this website is a waste of my time.
I’m sorry to hear that but I can’t please everyone.
that makes sense, i know how you feel :) keep posting!
I love your comics so much! I really hope you will post again when you feel like it. :)
Thank you Sailor Amy :)
