Good to know you're OK now, as well as hearing that you haven't abandoned the idea of continuing the fan-manga entirely... but yeah, stuff you're getting paid for has the obvious priority.

If people never did anything without getting money for it, practically 90% of all web-comics wouldn't even exist, let alone the grand majority of artists and their work on DeviantArt, to name but one community consisting of the artistically inclined.
Besides... by that logic, why would he have started drawing it in the first place? =)
