Not long enough lol.
My current work schedule is kinda weird, I upload early on Patreon so I'll always be at least 1 update ahead, I think having the patreon early access is the best thing ever, it gets me to actually finish the episode and upload it without making last minute decisions. The next update after than is coloured but I need to arrange the paneling properly and add text, I have the episode after that lined.
Currently none...with the bit of slump I've been going through, plus how this January has been draining me of energy & motivation, I've been doing my best to keep up. Might get a little motivation next month, when I do this small local con...
right now my buffer iiiiiis....... 14 pages long, 7 updates, just under two months. which is around about the amount of time i need to make the next chapter. i need to be snappy with all that though, bc after that comes my Final Final Final project in college and i think im gonna be decimating my buffer again.
late to my own party but generally my buffer has always been none! the only time i ever had a buffer was Before starting to post a series (then id let it run out oops) or when im Right at the end of it and i wanna give it that last push (which is why regression's last couple of weeks were double updates lol)
HOWEVER lortia has made me realize my mistakes (and also im going to a 1 month trip to japan soon where i wont be able to draw soooo)
9 weeks ahed atm!
My buffer hasn’t been entirely uploaded yet but, right now I think it’s roughly 33 pages long.
I’m working on chapter 4 right now so once I finish the first half of that I’ll have 15 more pages. By the time I get it all fully drawn and colored, it’ll probably leave me with 45 pages because I’ll probably finish up when I have 25 pages left in my current buffer and then just tack on 15 more pages.
Probably. Hopefully. I keep getting faster at everything so I’m sure my buffer will keep growing. XD
But yeah I gotta have a big buffer cuz I never know when something will get sprung on me, disrupting my whole work flow.
I haven't had a buffer in a long time outside of completing a story in one of my novels and dumping a new chapter daily. XDDD Except now where I'm completing my Gingergeist story, but posting batches of at least (3 to 5 chapters) in the style of little episode bombs or whatever they're called to keep interest without blowing everyone's brains out with the immense load of words, action, and spunky sentence structures (Try saying that 3 times fast).
Comic Buffers are easy, but Novel buffers are a challenge on their own, Kip, lemme tell ya'. XD
This is BATCH #1
Batch #2 will come somewhere after I write at least chapters 6 to 10. I gotta check on the length first.
Currently two weeks ahead, but when I finish the batch I'm on, I should be about a month and a half. Here's to hoping it'll last haha. I update one page a week, but my goal is twice a week.Gotta build that buffer. Go Go Go.
Hoooooo boy.
Currently I have a buffer of about 41.5 thousand words, which comes out to somewhere around 70 single-spaced pages. This means I'm 25 updates (a little over 12 weeks) ahead, and also have a good bit of bonus content already written. To be fair, I started posting with a buffer of about this size already built up, so I've just been putting in the work necessary to maintain it and edit existing writing.
I would actually like to be quite a bit further ahead. I'm pretty meticulous about foreshadowing (I often do sentence-level edits to set up for events several story arcs in advance) so having a long buffer is really important to me. Plus I'm petrified of letting the quality of my work significantly degrade, letting my schedule slip, or resorting to poor plotting in order to meet a deadline.
Honestly, I probably would be paranoid and feel behind even if the entire novel was already written, because that's just how I am.
Ooof, uhhh, depends?
For my main comic, I used to have a pretty consistent two-week buffer, but then a camping trip absolutely destroyed it, and now my buffer is... nothing! Draw the strip every week and post same week.
For project two, about four weeks right now, which is nice, but I'd like more personally before I officially start it.
Big project is gonna be looking at maybe twenty updates by the time it starts, which is very very nice, but I'm getting antsy and wanna start now, but oh well.
3 months, which is very alarming as I was hoping to build a buffer to make me go until october as I can't draw during the farming season. I still have one month left to draw, but 24 pages in one month is unlikely to happen.
Doing a thrice-a-week gag strip, I tend to draw a week's worth at a time the week before they get posted. But for peace of mind I always try to have the scripts ready at least a month in advance. That means I always have something ready to draw each week, and it also gives the gags a month to mature so I can decide whether they're actually funny or not.
I have 12 unpublished pages atm 
will last until the end of march. Thinking of updating twice a week for a bit just to make it run faster. Don't want my audience to wait that long for something to happen in the comic.
It's pretty low right now, but I like to have around 5 weeks of buffer, usually. Right now I have 4 pages done, 2 of which are going to be published later today, and 2 for next Friday. I've only recently started posting 2 pages a week, so what would normally be a comfortable buffer feels very tiny now.
