Is it ok to hang out here if I don't have a comic yet?

[Shalmons]

Hi!
I heard about Tapastic today and was intrigued!
I attempted a webcomic a while ago on SmackJeeves, but the community seems to have dwindled away, at least the last time I checked...
I'm not quite ready to start a webcomic again, although it's something I'd really like to do sometime.
So, I guess I was wondering if it's still ok to mill around here in the meantime? ^^; ((it's also really hard to find a decent forum anywhere in general! >>; ))

Hi and welcome to Tapastic Shalmans! I don't see why you can't stick around and chat on the forums with or without a comic, there are many members here at Tap who do not have comics at the moment but frequent the forums quite regularly. Maybe chatting with community members and meeting new people will help to inspire you on your next comic creation.

Of course it is! Welcome to Tapastic! ;o idk why you would need to ask xD Trust me though, I was on smackjeeves too and wasn't impressed either. But you will definitely feel welcomed here when you're ready to start posting again!~

[Shalmons]

ah, thank you for the kind replies! <3
haha, i have an issue being too timid even online ^^; but, i've been trying to find a good forum to help out with that, so hopefully this one!

Oh definitely! The forums are thankfully not just content-exclusive. There's a lot of topics where people debate about storytelling, comics, music, anything in general really. Feel free to hang and test waters here, at least the forums are usually active and not everyone has comics here, so no reason to feel left out!

It's just a neat community C:

YES!!! For sure you can!

This community is open to everyone, creators, readers, all inbetween, as long as you follow the few guidelines and help keep our forums fun and inviting.
Welcome Welcome Welcome!

I agree that the SJ community feels like it's dwindled some, and I could never break into the Comic Fury community either. I love it here though. It's a very positive and supportive community here <3

Welcome to the forums! It's one of the best ones out there!

[somvi]

That's basically what I'm doing here until my comic is released - so far I haven't been exiled ohoho. There's a wealth of info in the archives and the community has been pretty awesome even when discussing controversial topics.

So, then welcome!

You are more than welcome to hang around the forums if you don't have a comic, heck even if you never plan on making on you are still allowed around here, I assume anyway since they have yet to kick me out that this place is for everyone =P

[AnnaLandin]

Hey, welcome to the forums! You're welcome to hang out here as much as you want, whenever you want! Making a comic is no requirement - though it's fun if you do. : )

[niinasalmelin]

Welcome! As everybody before me has said it, comic is not necessary. I think a good comic community doesn't involve just the comic artists, but the people who consume and read them. : ))

[yvettegustafsson]

Of course you're welcome!! The webcomics community needs all kinds of people. Creators, writers, art makers, fans... one size fits all! Once again, welcome!

[kambreapratt]

Welcome!
The Tapastic community is great! It's one of the first things we tell people when we mention they should come over here.

[hannahmcgill]

Drat, I guess we'll have to burn the wooden sign on the treehouse door that says 'No non-comickers allowed' now. I wish we'd purchased decent curtains instead.

[Luie]

Of course! I've been here for millions of years and I haven't submitted my first page yet. The forum is a really cool place to hang out

[eschaefges]

welcome! This is the happiest place on the internet!

[UzukiCheverie]

Of course it's okay for you to take part in the forums here (and on the main site as well). The readers make up a large part of the forum community and are a special part of the forums <3 Welcome! I hope you have a good time here ^_^

[carloswebcomic]

You can hang around here but you'll need to share your porn stash... and make coffees for the first three months before moving to sandwiches.

[shaylafarley5]

Yep, I followed here from ink blazers (mangamagazine) just to read before creating one of my own. It's the only way to know when your favorite stories updates!

[BraveHeartTatsumaki]

Of course it's perfectly fine, seeing other artists might in the future want to do your own. So you can have time here with everyone, no problem about it, and also welcome :3!
