The artist may have started out with a certain set of ideals or, alternatively, was experimenting to see if people would just donate for a quality product. She didn't get what she needed or her circumstances changed so she slightly modified her policy. That's understandable, especially since she's under no obligation to give her work product away for free. I hardly think waiting a week to see a free webcomic is lessening a reader's experience, much less comparable to Gaia Online.

Regardless of her feelings or attachments, OP isn't entitled to this artist's efforts. (And regardless of how hot her feelings were burning when she wrote that secret, it comes off as feeling entitled to a toy rather than worried about losing access to it.) Having to wait a week, which is fairly short and seems to be standard even on television episode sites, is nothing. Having to pay a nominal fee to see, which is the traditional model for artistic endeavors, hardly seems beyond the pale either.

Aaaahhh... I assumed a traditional publisher! My mistake! (But still, charging only to see the redrawn archive would only be hitting a fraction of her potential market. Worse, it's hitting a less viable part of it than the webcomic, which is not being held hostage despite OP's claims.)

For what it's worth, I didn't worry about either of those things when those actors died. It didn't even occur to me.

(Feel better soon!)
