How long are you planning your comic/novel to be?

[BLTX]

Currently, it's planning to be 12 episodes long, each 18 - 25 pages, plus an end strip.

Well for me, I'm planning to make my 2nd series at least 160 episodes long, because I want it to be long but not too long, I have all the arcs for the series in my head and hope to make them flow perfectly, my first series on the other hand might be at least 300 chapters/episodes.

this is an interesting question, because I know exactly which direction to go. I have a lot of scenes on my mind right now and I'm walking through each one, but none of those scenes are the end of the story, just unfolding, so the ending isn't planned yet. :]

I usually just do 140-160 page self contained comic books but I have a series that was just published where the first book was 140-some pages and that took about a year, the second book comes out next year and has taken me roughly a year maybe a little less and is nearly finished at around 200 pages. And the final book will probably be in the 140/160ish range and I assume will take another year.

I’ve also been working on other books in the meantime and I’m wrapping up a different 200ish page comic at the end of this month. After starting it last year.

Call me crazy, but I'm not gonna end mine! I want to keep creating and creating.

I was thinking 12 chapters per book, but we'll see what happens

I just started so I'm not sure about mine I think I would go with maybe half a year? IDK because I am pretty busy nowadays and still drafting to start so yep

Good luck @smokesalty

Great question

I don't have the whole series outlined, but I'm planning on 9 chapters give or take (excluding extra stories). My chapters vary in length; right now my shortest is ~30 pages and 8k words, and I can imagine longer chapters going for 70+ pages and 20k+ words.

I've been serializing about a chapter a year but I can easily see things taking longer in the future. I started in 2020, probably got another 7-12 years ahead of me.
