Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't the GIF on the about page loop?

It only plays once, to reduce eye strain/flashing. It'll play again with a page refresh.

How long will The Sweetness of Salt be?

Four chapters, plus an epilogue (probably ~250 pages total)

Will The Sweetness of Salt ever become a physical book?

No :( TSOS is my first webcomic and it was never made with print in mind. PDF's are available for your digital library, though!

Can I use your artwork or comic panels for my personal social media icons/banners?

Sure, just be sure to credit the artwork back to shooshell.com or tsoscomic.com.

Can I make fanvids/fanart/fanedits for The Sweetness of Salt?

Yes, I love to see what people make! Feel free to tag me on social media so I can share it :)

What about fanfic and reviews?

You are welcome to make them, but please don't send them to me!

Can I use your work with machine learning/AI (even for personal use such as character roleplay)?

Absolutely fucking not, if you do this, you suck!
