Hello everyone~! In an effort to promote indie comics/webcomics even more, StArt Faire would like to invite creators and readers alike to join us for Comic Tea Party~! Comic Tea Party is a weekly discussion group focused on reading and conversing about comics. Every Thursday, a new comic is chosen from our reading queue. Participants have one week to read however much of the chosen comic they would like. Come the following Thursday, from 5 PM to 7 PM PST, participants will meet up on the #comicteaparty channel on StArt Faire’s Discord server to discuss the comic. The discussion will be fairly freeform, but occasional discussion prompts/questions will be dropped into the chat to encourage the discussion continues.
There’s no requirement to joining the chat other than showing up, and you’re also free to leave the chat at any time. The goal of this event is to encourage not only more reading of indie comics (regardless of popularity), but to also encourage more reader participation. So if you can, please drop on by and chat with us.

Before we close out, please know we’re still open for comics on our reading list~! To be eligible to volunteer your comic, all we ask is the following:
- Comics volunteered should have at least 20 pages.
- Comics volunteered should not have graphic sex or graphic violence at this time.
- Please only volunteer if you are okay with constructive criticism that may come up during the conversation.
If you can meet these standards, then you are eligible for the reading list. To sign up for the reading list, you can apply via this Google Form (the comic does not have to be on Tapas btw ): https://goo.gl/forms/odaWwrvZALiOLAFg1
Thank you everyone and we hope to see lots of you around~!
