We're On Tumblr!

Hey there :D You've probably never heard of us, but if you could spare a few minutes to read about the Suburban Dream project, see if you could be interested in it, we'd appreciate it a ton.

Suburban Dream is a small, two-person created comic book project. Our names are Milo (the one currently writing, she/her) and Sam (He/they). We've been working on this project for a few months, and we decided that it might be a good idea to post about it on another site than Wattpad (our current home site), and we figured that Tumblr was the easiest to go for.

Firstly, some background: Suburban Dream was originally thought up around the end of 2021 as video game idea by myself, but I quickly realized just how large and impossible the game would be in the scale that I envisionned and would just not be easy on my current coding skill level. So, I scrapped it, but kept it in the back of my mind as an eventual story ideas. But, during the beginning of 2022, me and Sam wanted to start a new project that would combine our writing and drawing skills, and we came up with making a comic. Long story short, we went through multiple ideas until landing on this, and production started.

Now, onto the really interesting stuff, aka the plot (kept loose so as to not spoil anything for you all) of Suburban Dream. Set in 1985 in the small suburban town of Orelwell, Okhlahoma, a small town with little modern technology, a peaceful community where the gravest crime reported is light shoplifting.

A series of disappearances leave the rangers clueless. Paula Saunders, a 16 year old citizen of Orelwell, has a choice to make: investigate or leave the situation to the authorities.

We'd like to also warn you all: as the both of us are still minors and have recently entered the french equivalent of high school, meaning more work than ever before, updates might be slow. We are doing our best to keep the quality/quantity ratio balanced, but we just wanted to warn you of the fact that if it ever comes up, we will prioritize our own well-being and happiness towards this project over anything. So, updates will be slow.

Finally, there are two versions of the comic: a book one and a comic one. Currently, only the book one has a prologue, but the comic will be worked on alongside it. Keep in mind the comic will take a decent amount of time to make as the work that goes into it includes panneling, composition and drawing the poses, as well as various other parts I'm not exactly qualified to talk about.

Anyways, this account will be for more extra bits (designs, behind the scenes, announcements, etc…) as well as official updates. Ask as many questions as you want, share it with friends, draw fanart, we'd love to interact with all of you :D And, with that, have a good day/night, hydrate yourselves and take care of yourselves <3!
