Authors what’s your goal + promotion thread

Fellow creators what goals are you working towards for your comic and or novel.

For me it’s to create something that I love and to also finish an actual story of mine. Hopefully connecting with fellow authors as well.

Elyn is trying to solve the mystery of her brother’s disappearance while also guiding souls to the afterlife.

Hi! My goals are similar to yours, I want to make something that to me is good and finish it. I hope other people pick it up along the way and I would love to have a big following, but for me it's more important to focus on the stuff I can control. Otherwise, I think I'd give up.

Hope you surpass your goals

This is an amazing goal! I too have a similar goal. I also hope to reach 1000 subs. @MelancholicOtaku My best wishes to everyone! ️️@Everyone

Reaching 1000 subscribers is a side quest for me lol

I would love to make it to the Top 25 for the Action Fantasy Tourney! But it’s such been a joy participating and connecting with everyone that I feel good about entering anyway, even if I don’t end up making the cut off for Tapas to read it

In a cutthroat world where rank and status are dictated by magical affinity, Elana is a royal disappointment. Despite being born into a family of high ranking dark magicians, she can’t conjure a whisper of magic. Her best chance of surviving the famously brutal Trials of the Royal Magic Academy is to rely on her own raw intellect and Soren, her not-so-trusted attendant… until tragedy strikes, revealing a new path forward. With a score to settle, she's hellbent on paying back double the pain and avenging her way to the top. If she lives long enough to do it.

My main goal is 100 subscribers by months end, but for right now I'm aiming for 75! Any help would be appreciated sm!

My goal? Nothing really big. Decided to work on AngHell with a lot less ego motivation in mind.

Believe me... if it was all about my ego and getting popular, I'd do a totally different type of comic.

Actually surprised with getting 200 something subscribers in a year as well as reader demographics I'm getting...

MelancholicOtaku 2024-10-11 21:39:56 UTC #9

I am rooting for you

MelancholicOtaku 2024-10-11 21:40:52 UTC #10

I’m not surprised you reached 200 ,plus the numbers will just keep growing

kyupol 2024-10-11 22:01:21 UTC #11

Well see how far the numbers will grow... appreciate the encouragement

To me, finishing the "remasterization" of the first chapters of my manga (improving grammar, dialogues, cutting filler, adding more backgrounds, and improving the rough art that appears in some panels).

An old page

vs the new page

Thanks, I hope you do too

My goal is to finish my novel, publish it, and have it sell. Writing and Japanese are the only things I truly want to do professionally, so I'm kind of all-in here. I don't really have any other special skills or interests.

Yukiko, an adventurous princess of the Spirit Realm, is stranded in the Mortal World after the Magi Empire seals off her home, branding it evil. Taking refuge at Lightveil Academy, she must conceal her identity while uncovering a plot to hunt down her people. As the threat of a massacre looms, Yukiko must break the seal and save her realm-before it's too late.

Goals... Hmmmmm

The goal for me is to Start Small with Webcomics & improve from there. Starting with this comic where it establishes the universe.

remiquise 2024-10-12 03:37:00 UTC #16

My goals include: Finishing my current webcomic and preparing my next for release Summer 2025. But I don't post them on Tapas because its too much hassle for basically no return. They're elsewhere on the internet.
And simply to keep writing. To have something new to present to writing group every 2 weeks. Be it a short story or a new snippet of my Novella (that I'm not posting here incase I want to try and publish for realsies). Writing is much harder for me to accomplish than comics-- given my current weekly one is done and scheduled until the end of March.

I post my short stories here;
