Experience with WebComics App?

[Merle]

from what I´ve seen you can apply on your own, too! And what I´ve heard in this topic, unless you sign an exclusive contract, you can surely publish your work every where else.

(sorry for being so quiet, I don´t have much to add to this topic yet, but I´m really happy about all the experiences shared!)

oh i got emailed by them recently as well. they seem to be around for less than a year but they're definitely a legit new webcomics platform to rival Webtoons and Tapas. I'm still asking them a bunch of questions but depending on their response, i think i'm gonna take the non-exclusive offer since i got nothing to lose?

[ETA] I'd also like to add that unless you're signing an exclusive deal, you can totally keep posting your comic on other platforms as well.
I found Glacias there too

Glacias

Glacias | Tapas

interesting to note, i found a great majority of the current webcomics to be from Chinese(?) creators. Just an observation.

What I'm most curious about is where they get the money to pay creators from and if it's sustainable.

i actually asked them about their policies regarding mature content few hours ago.
will report back soon as i get a clear answer : >

although i did find some BL webcomic with clear sexual act except no genitals were showing.
but for the life of me i cannot find that webcomic now...

worth a look around?

[racarter]

Seems interesting. I’m not on Webtoons so I haven’t been extended on offer or anything but if they have a decent amount of readership and can get paid, I’m interested.

I didn’t see any option for sign up when I clicked OPs link tho, how do you sign up?

[KoreanTacos]

There's a button to contribute. From the looks of it you upload your comic (suggested 3 chapters). Basically you're sending a proposal and they will judge if it fits their criteria. I doubt I'll get in, but just trying is at least worth doing.

[racarter]

Ah, I see. Thanks!

I’m not sure mine would really fit either but no harm in trying, right? Tho I do need to figure out just how mature things can get first. Lol

[Rosso]

reporting back on mature content.

they didn't give me a detailed answer or examples, but basically they're reviewing NSFW content more strictly on app than on the website, so a mature scene might need a bit of polishing to fit the two platforms.
probably in an attempt to adhere to the App Store/Google Play guidlines.

that being said, i most definitely did spot a bunch of NSFW scenes on app D;
both excessive violence and sex.
no genitalia or frontal nudity that i'm aware of tho.

Thanks @rosso , that´s good to know! That sounds pretty similar to Webtoons then, especially looking at their featured series.
I´m in contact with them now, too. Their conditions look really good, I´m gonna ask some questions and then propably go ahead for an non exclusive series.

[Klaustasya]

So i just have to submit my comic and see if they will accept it?

[Merle]

As far as I can tell that´s an option, too, yeah !

[Rizzvatt]

Hey, don't mind me asking but does anyone have an idea about how much they offer?

[Merle]

They have a system similar to Webtoons "Beta Creator Credit" based on your Popularity on the App.

[Rizzvatt]

oh thank you
btw did you accept the invite? are you going to publish there?

[6ooey]

I got an email from them a couple of weeks ago for both of my comics to be on their app. I decided to just do my fantasy one since I didn't see any comics that were pure Slice-of-life (that isn't drama or romance heavy).

In terms of communication they have been so nice and patient with me (I wanted to redraw/proofread my earlier chapters and they gave me time to do that). They're launching my comic next week so hopefully that will turn out well 🤞

[Rizzvatt]

yesterday I gave them a submit request for my comic https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/the-red-eyed-girl/list?title_no=251660
now I'm waiting for a response from them
and I hope it gets accepted

btw, has any of you noticed the website is booming?

[Klaustasya]

Just a question, where do i have to go to ask them if i cam submit my webcomic? :3

[Rizzvatt]

you can do it here http://www.webcomicsapp.com/contribute.html

[Klaustasya]

thank you very much! ^^

[Merle]

Haven´t looked too much into it, but that sounds good ;D
I´m asking one more detail of them (what will happen in case of withdrawal of either parties), but I´ve pretty much accepted! ^^ Very excited about it. Good Luck with applying, def let me know your experience with that side of it!
