2025-11-15 05:50:58 +0000 UTC View PostI’m curious if future EGSNP storylines with non-canon shipping are of interest. There’s been positive feedback about Elliot and Tedd in Cinderella, and I enjoy the freedom of a separate canon, but I’m curious if there’s general interest in further explorations outside the main canon with characters falling into new roles and connections.
Note: Voting Yes isn’t a vote for that becoming all EGSNP is. It’s a vote for more like Cinderella sometimes, on occasion.

Transforming a prince - https://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/cinder-105
Part 1 of 57. Naturally, you don't just suddenly transform a prince. It takes at least 12 comics at a minimum, 30 comics to do it pretty well, 50 if you REALLY want to do it right, and 57 if you write like I do.
