Awkward Avenue (comics/novels welcome)

Awkward? You want awkward?

How about a group of maladjusted middle school outcasts trying to avoid becoming collateral damage from an oppressive Darwinist social hierarchy?

I started my comic as away to connect with people and deal with stress during quarantine. It is quite personal as it is journaling things that have happened. I just love how funny the readers are and how they have responded to each episode.

There’s a ton of awkward (but cute!) moments in my main story Jake is always a little awkward and is kind of precariously balancing between a bunch of stuff in life, so he’s always feeling like he’s about to say the wrong thing

Personally, I always feel really awkward trying to promote my short story
It’s completed! It’s only 6 little episodes, and I think (?) it’s fun? If you have 30 minutes, you might enjoy it! (I'm going to back away now...)

Hello, my name is shan10u, obviously my username. I am currently working on an episodic novel in seasons called FAMILY and I came here to get some feedbacks, and hopefully, a few fans as well? I know novels aren't the main thing here but I liked the website and tried it out anyways.
Well, here is the description of the story. If you are interested, go ahead and read more!

Eddy Brown was leading a wonderful life. He had a beautiful wife, two amazing kids and a good job. Until one night changed everything. One planned accident. He lost everything he ever had.

And then he remembered. And he wanted revenge. Revenge for what he lost twice.

His family.

And here is the link to ep 1

@lunagraves714 I finally got a chance to read IDOLZ a few weeks ago and it's really good! I enjoyed it and there were definitely some surprises along the way. I like the new cover and thumbnail!

I know you've already read mine, but for others, here's my novel! It's the story of two strangers who run away from their lives together, with plenty of drama and secrets along the way. Plus it will have some illustrations which I'm SUPER excited about (first one in the most recent update).

hi! I love to tell stories that I find interesting and that in my opionion might help others, maybe just in simple ways like making them laugh or just be entretained, so if I get you to feel anything my job is done, my ultimate goal would be to teach you a thing or two but at the end of the day I hope you have a good time with my comic.
that being said, my comic is +18 and has adult themes, its not always sunshine and rainbows but there will also be funny and akward moments, its a little bit like a slice of life, tho the main themes would be action and romance, with that being said, hope you like it!

Oddly enough I wouldn't know what people think of my novel at all. My awkward moment would be my art is attracting all y'all in, but absolutely no one actually is reading through this bitch and tells me what they think of it. XD I'm aggrieved hahaha!

Greetings!

Loosely based on "The Fisherman and the Djinn" tale from One Thousand and One Nights, this is my first attempt at comics after an excruciating 7-year art block. I did my best in creating an interesting worldbuilding using all the research I carefully did on Persian and Mesopotamic lore =)

Hi, Lunagraves714.

My first and favorite is The Faerie Dusters. I think why I like it is because the story progresses through the development of the characters. Because of that, it seems a little slow at first, but the action picks up about midway. Phar Sheeth is one of eight hidden fairy worlds. The fairies were divided from the humans after the wars. Phar Sheeth, itself, suffered from war when the Undoer led the trolls, leprechauns, and pecks from the underworld to attack the Shee. The main character, Zamani, is the son of the Undoer, who fled into the nhola forest to escape his father's murderous intent. For seventeen seasons, Zamani has lived in the high nholas watching the decimated Shee. He has been protected by the barrier, and the monsters from Dirt have found their way into the forest. He is their KIng. But, one day, he decides to pass through the barrier and explore. That is where he meets the lovely Xarhn, a brave but lonely girl with no mate.

This is my first time sharing my writing with anyone so I'm nervous, but I would love feedback! I just started posting it, but I have been working on it for awhile. My story is special to me because it deals with issues that I had to face when I was younger 🖤

Hi! I've been promoting my novel in other posts but GOD IT'S SO AWKWARD I just want to hide. But I want more people to know about it so, I have to do it. Thank you for the place to promote <3

Genres: Modern fantasy, fantasy, BL, LGBTQ.
Other tags: Soulmates, polyamory, BxBxB, fae, vampires, hybrids.

This novel is just starting. It's on its first chapters, with the introduction of the three main characters. I really, really love Oliver, Nikolay and Dara. They are so unique yet so relatable. I also like the diversity it has, with characters from different countries and sexualities. I would like to improve my wiriting and narrative, though.

Hope you read webtoons too:

I've found myself self promoting less and less as I've progressed with my work mostly because I'm an awkward weirdo and pretty reserved. That and I don't think anything I do is all that great in the first place. I try not to worry about the numbers too much and mostly just do it for myself.

My comic is a fantasy drama about a young woman on a quest to save the life of her dying friend. It's probably quite reading heavy, and a slow burn, compared to other comics out there.

I wrote this whole novel in 3 months in 2014, when I was still a little baby and going through a hard time. It distracted me and gave me something to do. I actually wrote it in Dutch, which is my native language, and I'm translating it to English and kinda rewriting it as I go. I'm not sure if its actually good or readable tho.
