How long do you think your story/comic will be?

I hope it will be extremely long. I aim for at least 18 volumes.

I believe my comic; Mukhtar will have a very long way to finish the story as a whole. Once I finish it, I will be making a comic not about MC's but pure lore and world-building based around my current comic and outside of it (Mostly the universe).

My 6,75 is going to be around 30 chapters long- though last 2 chapters are epilogues. Exact number of chapters might change a bit on the way, but no too much, +/- 2 chapters Anndddd we're in the half of the story now!

I have Heaven Hunters plotted out through five seasons, with two seasons fully script written so far. Judging by the length of the first two seasons, the entire series is probably going to be around 30-35 issues long. Dog help me, this is going to take forever!
It's a labor of love though, right everybody?

I plan for my comic to be 11 chapters, 12 max if there's too much content to squish in 11, page count is unknown to me though. (I thumbnail 10-20 pages ahead, but I'm always changing things as I go.) Time is also unknown to me, I started the comic in 2015 and I'm currently on chapter 6, I like to guesstimate it taking a year to finish a chapter but 5 took about two years thanks to life bs and it being the longest (61 pages.). I'm hoping 7 will be super short since it's basically just the climax.

Yeah, it takes me longer than most people, color pencils is one of the more time consuming mediums.

I'm on episode 40. I think it's end is at around the 200 or 300 episode. It was originally planned as 100 episodes max.

Then I realized I you couldn't even meet the second main character in 100 episodes.

Assuming I actually start it sometime soon, I'm expecting my next comic to be around 100-120 pages long (no clue how many panels will make up a page).

If all goes well, I'm hoping to finish it in under a year.

I don't really know. There is an ending point for the series in a whole, but it will take awhile.

jasonboredd 2022-01-09 16:51:13 UTC #20

I have major events planned and that's about it. After the events are planned, I just start writing. A lot of the times, the story takes on a life of it's own and does what it wants. Eventually it meets up with that planned event and (at least in my eyes) feels so satisfying. Though I am a perfectionist and if anything is worth doing, it is worth doing correctly. So I won't post my story till it is at least half finished. No idea how many chapters I want it to be. As many as it takes I guess

doitlikeomar69 2022-01-09 17:00:56 UTC #21

I have my script wrote out for about four chapters worth and hoping I can keep the story going for 3 years

My current series will be 14-15 full episodes (or almost 200+ individual episodes since each episodes are two pages). I'm barely halfway there. I started in June 2020 and will finish on June 2024. It updates two pages a week with breaks in between full episodes.

I'm currently developing and writing a webcomic/graphic novel which will come out in 2-4 years or longer to ensure quality.

R.n.P 2022-01-09 17:52:30 UTC #23

probably gonna take 10 years to finish at least, based on my circumstances and future job

BobbyjoeX 2022-01-09 17:53:06 UTC #24

no idea. i wanna go as long as i can XD

pinxfoxx 2022-01-09 18:51:12 UTC #25

My comic is a slice of life with each episode being separate not connected to the rest. So, we will see. It depends on how much ideas I have and if I ever want to start more of a story based comic.

Phantomobservant 2022-01-09 20:23:00 UTC #26

I believe my novel version of Inferior shall last around a year or two, while the comic version of the same story will last maybe 3 for four. That of course is not taking in consideration of breaks or a slow update schedule.

Fortunately were condescending one of the major eras, Primis, into a single chapter. However, considering that I'll be doing around 6-7 eras total on a monthly release schedule, I'd imagine to get through everything it would likely take a few decades before I can call Descendants of Ether finished.

Were starting slow, but gaining some serious momentum!

MeltingCORE 2022-01-12 00:29:14 UTC #28

I don't have a specific length because my main story is a serial with a ton of world building x intricate character plots. I do have the three major arcs planned though along with an ending to the story. Still though... L O N G

"Mega-Egypt" is not as long, however! Will be three volumes. A trilogy.

Phantomobservant 2022-01-12 00:45:05 UTC #29

I really like this !

Most of my stories rang from about 12000 words to 20000 words, but I have done closer to 50-60000 on a couple. But I tend to do books that are 12- 20 chapters long.

I prefer Quality over quantity so I don't focus as much on word count as I think other people do. I'm aware that some people may see shorter books as a waste of time, but honestly there are a thousand reasons why a person may not pick up your book. All I can do is tell my best story.

Now in terms of how long it takes me to write a book, I try to write at least 1000 words a day. I edit each chapter as I finish them, and then I edit my complete story as a whole after I'm done. Still, I have to admit sometimes things take time. I can't always power through a chapter, and that's because sometimes ideas need time to develop into something good.

I think I wrote one book in less than a month before, but I wrote another over the course of an entire year simply because it had a lot of complex ideas I needed time to incorporate respectfully.

allenT 2022-01-12 02:54:43 UTC #31

36+ chapters in full-fledge story.
(when first draft was done in 2015 I thought i could finish it in 15 chapters )

I do wish to be able to trim the story into much shorter like 30 chaps, but I can't (yet)-- It'll miss some key elements and ruin the sweet pacing.

Just need to pick up the 'work' pace if i want to be able to finish it in 9 years.
