Peregrine Lake
Lynn and Megan will return in Peregrine Lake in April 2020.
Current Post On Trae’s Blog:
So I'm just going to come out and say it: My favorite episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation is "Conundrum." It's episode fourteen of season five, and I just deeply love it.
I don't know if it's because I literally just assumed Erich Anderson's Commander McDuff was a random Enterprise officer of the week (which we saw quite often during the show) when I watched it as a kid during the original run, so the twist actually worked on eleven year old me. I don't know if it's because I just like a good "everyone has amnesia" story. I don't even know if it's just because it's a good Ro Laren episode. I don't know if it's just because we learn that Starfleet doesn't give a crap about lasers.
I just like it. It's neat.
And I rewatched it last night, and feel that it holds up -- which is why I found it deeply weird that the folks who wrote the episode actually think it's not that good. My favorite episode of the entire seven season run of the show was a failure according to the folks who wrote it.
And maybe, as a writer and creator, I should remember that.
Like the hardest part of releasing creative works to the public is that often, after a while, I'll start to judge those things far more harshly than when I first made them. Or I'll compare it to the potential I thought an idea had in my head. And if I don't reach that potential, I'll think of it as "bad" -- when it might just be slightly different than that idea. I have one hundred percent published stories that I thought were just sort of okay and later had someone tell me how much it meant to them to read it.
*cough*I Hate November*cough*
So I should make sure I remember Conundrum. That one of my favorite things to rewatch is considered one of those failures by its creators. That the things I make might have value, just not in the way I originally thought they should.
It's just sort of how things work out.

Welp, I guess that’s the answer to “now what will I read?”
It’s going to be super fun.
Agreed.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
Trae, you did an amazing job with this comic. Sad to see it end, but it was a good run.
Best of luck on your next project.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Good luck on Peregrine Lake, I am not entirely sure I will be reading it though, it was the fact that there was a webcomic about staffing cons that brought me here and while I really like Lynn and Megan, well, we will see.
As for technology, just assume the most boring advancements and that is what we will have in 10 years.
Yeah, I know not everyone who read UnCONventional will jump on board with Peregrine Lake — that’s why it has a different title and is considered separate even though (arguably) the main character of UnCONventional is continuing as one of the leads.
If the people here just for the convention stories don’t read it, I won’t be offended. But the people who were into the personal stories may enjoy it.
Also, while it’ll still be a comedy, there’s gonna be spooky stuff.
Neat. I originally came for the Convention related tales and cameos of people I know, but will stay (crossover?) for the tale telling and sense of humor.

I’m sad to the con aspect of the comic go away but I’m down to read about Peregrine Lake!
Same Ike, same. But hey, time to branch out a bit. We’ll see you next year, Trae
Hiya, kinda super late but I refound this comic recently.
Even if its been 4 years since I stopped (got removed/drama) this comic keeps resonating so so so relatable.
Thank you for thegood reed.

Is there any possibility that Peregrine Lake is going to come to fruition? This is still one of my favorite webcomics, hope so!
So I’ve done some work on it. At this point I don’t know if it’ll end up being a comic or something else though. The story will be told.
I don’t have a good timeline right now though, so I can’t make any promises about WHEN it’ll happen.
Took me a while, but it’s here.
