Hello everybody. By now, I would assume that most of you regulars know me as the creator behind the shoujo influenced slice of life webcomic about Asperger's Syndrome called Life of an Aspie. Personally, I feel I like Tapastic better as a hosting service for webcomics because of the strong sense of community the staff has cultivated. However, I don't want to feel confined to just Tapastic y'know? In order to expand my brand so to speak, I decided awhile back to branch out to Tapastic's direct competition, LINE Webtoons. Having learned a thing or two about promoting myself, I decided "why not?" and so I've published the first full chapter of LoaA for LINE users to read. Unforetunately, LINE as many of you already know feels barren compared to Tapastic.
There's no real way to interact with the creator of your favorite comics besides commenting on the comic of course. This probably explain why I only have 3 subs over there (two at least which came here from Tapastic. You know who you are and thanks. ) Not having their own forum section also hurts LINE Webtoons in my honest opinion. And finally, there's that (in)famous rating system of theirs which I feel much like video game review sites that use a numeric score isn't an accurate way to measure a product's quality. (In this case, the product being webcomics) LoaA may be rated a 4.80 right now (which is a step up from being rated 2.something in the not so distant past), but I know from the 100 plus people who've subscribed to me here on Tapastic and have found value in a unique protaganist like Susan Graham that basically a near 5/10 stars simply isn't reflective of LoaA's overall quality story wise at least.
Now to be fair, I've been more focused on building a habit in building a buffer of updates for LoaA while also getting used to updating three times a week without missing even one date, so I haven't really had the time until now to pay more attention to LoaA's presence on LINE. I've also made sure to tweet about LoaA's presence on LINE to my follwoers, but nothing has really seem to have come of that so far. I even posted a picture on my Instagram last night asking near 200 followers there to check out LoaA there, but so far, nothing has come of that which leads me to the main point of this thread.
Long story short, I want to boost not only my presence over on LINE Webtoons, but also everybody else's here on Tapastic who also publishes their comic over on LINE Webtoon. The reason for this being that I personally feel that it will all do us some good if our comics over on LINE starts making more of an appearance on LINE's own equivalent of Tapastic's "Fresh/Trending" section which long term will also help boost our presence on Tapastic since at least in my case, if somebody were to read LoaA on LINE, they might like it enough to want to see what happens next over on Tapastic (especially given that starting on Monday, I'll begin uploading Chapter 2 one page at a time on a M-W-F schedule) and thus may choose to sub to LoaA over here which is of course a big win for me.
tl;dr For those who mainly publish their webcomic here, but also have a small presence over on LINE, We should all scratch each others backs and help grow our comic's respective followings over on LINE Webtoons
Its simple. Provide a link to your webcomic's page on LINE. I'll go check it out and if its something I like, I'll subscribe to it. Even if I don't, I'll at least give it a fair rating. Depending on how big this thread gets, I'll go ahead and make a list below of all Tapastic comics that are also published on LINE Webtoons for ease of access to anybody interested.
