If Printed, How Many Pages Would Your Series Be?

[eschaefges]

I thought it would be fun to see how long your series is/will be! With Tapastic's Vertical Formatting, it can be tough to see how many pages your series would be, in printed form, including chapter title pages, etc.

Series Name:
Number of Pages Online:
Estimated Total When All Is Said And Done:
Would you collect in one book, or several volumes?
What kind of book would you like to see it printed as?
(Copy/paste if you have more than one series. If you aren't interested in printing your series, that is cool, and I totally respect your opinion! You can still participate in the "how many pages is your series" questions, just answer "Not interested in print"!)

Series Name: A LEGEND (of some sort)
Number of Pages Online: 73 as of 11/23/15

Would you collect in one book, or several volumes? One big volume
What kind of book would you like to see it printed as? probably a nice thick trade paperback

My comic is published - and drawn - page by page already, so this one's easy for me. : ) I've read so many print-format comics that my brain just naturally plans in print-format - and I've done a bunch of comics for print, so it comes easier for me than vertical formats.

Series Name: Grassblades
Number of Pages Online: 72 as of 2015-11-23 (not counting chapter-covers)
Estimated Total When All Is Said And Done: Hopefully less than 1000 ;^.^
Would you collect in one book, or several volumes? Several volumes, though a huge brick of an omnibus would be fun too.
What kind of book would you like to see it printed as? Soft cover, perfect bound, with a nice, thick cover.

Series Name: Erie Waters
Number of Pages Online: 37 as of Nov 23, '15
Estimated Total When All Is Said And Done: 78, if I want to include some extra illustrations and the thumbnails I used.
Would you collect in one book, or several volumes? One book, it's definitely short enough for that.
What kind of book would you like to see it printed as? Trade paperback would be nice with some good paper to withstand the heavy blacks in the artwork.

For my other series I'm not sure exactly how many pages they'll end up being, but I would like to see them printed too.

Number of Pages Online: 175
Estimated Total When All Is Said And Done: ~980
Would you collect in one book, or several volumes? : 6 volumes C:
What kind of book would you like to see it printed as?: something that looks nice, on a good paper, possibly with some coloured illustrations inside ( :

[eschaefges]

Cool! Do you have specific breaks/events in mind for each book? Does each one end on a cliffhanger or are they selfcontained?

[Aetherwing]

Series Name: Aetherwing
Number of Pages Online: 80 as of 11/23/15
Estimated Total When All is Said and Done: Lots (honestly I have no idea.)
Would you collect in one book, or several volumes? I think it would have to be several volumes (no idea how many) because it is a very long series.
What kind of book would you like to see it printed as? Trades would be cool. Something with nice paper that doesn't make my colors look TOO dark.

[igneriss]

Yes, though I've only recently planned what exactly happens in each chapter. As for cliffhangers, almost every chapter in my story ends with one, so that wouldn't matter that much which one they end with, haha CX But from the very first versions of the story, I knew that I want to make first half a 'city part', and then a 'forest part'. And it nicely breaks exactly with 3 and 3 volumes C:

Series Name: Diexemor
Number of Pages Online: 240
Estimated Total When All Is Said And Done: about 1000 it is going to be a long series...
Would you collect in one book, or several volumes? several volumes that is for sure! most likely 6 or 8. or maybe 16 volumes depending on what it is printed on!
What kind of book would you like to see it printed as? most likely like most French comic. so it is a trade paperback kinda doesn't look like that exactly but you know.... you don't know I am sure I am confusing! and I like it that way... Actually I don't!

[panistheman]

I recently printed out a copy of Capefall issue 1 which ended up being to 35 pages. I have issue 2 half finished and issue 3 scripted. The size of each issue varies, as I end them when I feel like they're finished.

[Kamikaze]

What a cool idea @eschaefges!

Series Name: Kamikaze

Number of Pages Online: Currently 105 (includes episode 1, a short comic, and the first few pages of episode 2)

Estimated Total When All Is Said And Done: Honestly I don't know. We work on the idea of a series of 'seasons' like a TV show would have. Each season would be around 13 episodes long and we've got 7 seasons planned out. Episode 1 was 86 pages (in print that would make it around 43 pages. My hope would be to have a series of books with each on around 50~ pages each. Nice trade paper back style with glossary, maps, and a "making of" section. The count would be innumerable at this moment...

Would you collect in one book, or several volumes? Multiple volumes at first. Though doing each 'season' in one big book could be wicked cool.

What kind of book would you like to see it printed as? Normal trade paperback, unless we did a huge collection of each season (which would mean multiple 'episodes' in each book). The 'season' collection would be hardbound I think.

Oh to dream~! Maybe one day we'll get there! :3

[eschaefges]

That is a super ambitious project! I hope you can finish it one day!

Series Name: livNPC.
Number of Pages Online: 636 on the official site.
Estimated Total When All Is Said And Done: omfg I have no idea. I wanted it to be 780, but I have a feeling I'll probably end at 800 or 900? Or-god forbid-1000. I'm seriously trying to end this thing in vol 7, but I have a feeling it's going to bleed into vol 8.
Would you collect in one book, or several volumes?: Every ten chapters is a vol on my site.
What kind of book would you like to see it printed as?: Honestly, I have no intention of printing livNPC, but if I had to choose, I'd like something soft cover and small, but readable.

[mattcleaver]

I've printed out things before, but only in black and white, so the current colour graphic novel, In Our Shadow will probably have to be in smaller instalments so the cost isn't insane ^__^

Series Name: In Our Shadow
Number of Pages Online: 50 (143 on DA)
Estimated Total When All Is Said And Done: All arcs... probably 400
Would you collect in one book, or several volumes? Several volumes
What kind of book would you like to see it printed as? Soft cover 9 x 6 inch books (Three)

Number of Pages Online: 93 as of 11/23/2015
Estimated Total When All Is Said And Done: over 1000 pages (that's a lot O_O)
Would you collect in one book, or several volumes? I plan to finish this in like 5-6 volumes with 5 chapters each + print exclusives (currently drawing volume 2)

Estimated Total When All Is Said And Done: I'm bad at math and guessing
Would you collect in one book, or several volumes? Maybe two - three books?
What kind of book would you like to see it printed as? It'd be nice seeing it in a hardcover with some kind of lumi gloss paper. ~~laminated hardcover~~

It's funny because I'm totally capable of binding a hardcover book - but even if it meant I'd get my own ONE OF A KIND BOOK I am not willing to 1. pay to print all current and future pages and 2. redraw every page so they fit on standard sized paper

Now that's specific!

[Jrej]

I currently have 60 pages for Shades Of Men on 24/11/15
I planned on 133 pages in total (12 chapters of 11 pages). So I'll hopefully be finished in about a year.
I see it printed in a single book. Something like the first "Black Sad" graphic novel...

Dreams, dreams, dreams... It's good to have them!

[getsuart]

Indeed... It's also because I've already printed the first issue, and this is how it looks like! XD
