On popular demand, I decided to get the ball rolling for comics as well. Although I function more as a novelist, I'm never one to say no to anyone in the pursuit of creative miracles.

Here's a little something for context: Novel Version

Think of this as a method of promotion, but with more structure. An example (full disclosure: this is a novel, and it's mine.):

Title | Curse of Immortals: Tempestatem
Chapter Count | 13
Update Schedule | Friday, 4:20AM (PST)

Description

Once a talented, young gymnast, Daiden resents his existence after a career-ending injury. In death, he is offered a chance to traverse into Mioverold, a decaying world cursed with immortality.

With a new body and reawakened ambition, Daiden now prepares for life in a fantastical, war-torn world, with a simple promise - to leave a generational mark.

If this kicks off, I'll create a variant on a weekly basis while closing the old thread to avoid stagnation. Go nuts.

what happen to self-promotion thread that kill all other self-promo thread

[LostSpirit]

This is until the fresh search section is fixed. If a moderator has any issue with it, then I guess it'll come up. The idea isn't to self-promote but to ensure that there's an outlet for some of the lessor known creators to post their updates and not face the consequences of a broken search system.

This is a direct result of this: https://forums.tapas.io/t/is-fresh-search-broken/41680

Dreamwalker Felix is about a teenage boy named Felix learning of his heritage as a Dreamwalker, a psychic with the ability to cross through the void into the dreams of others. There's action, trippy dream sequences, feels, comedy, teenage angst probably... hot demons.
But at it's core, Dreamwalker Felix is about empathy for those you have trouble relating to, the dangers of nostalgia and false memories, and above all Heritage.
