Mature section?

[sadghost]

Then there's no hopes for my series (even reaching the 40k monthly views are....near impossible for my comic anyway).

And i think all of the series that are featured/original are not tagged as mature.

Just checked and the canvas series that are promoted on the front page, only one was tag as mature (and didn't include anything like ecchi or sex stuff so far).

So tagging something as mature, if you don't have a huge following will be harmful.

I did see some big series with mature tag, one got even some episodes removed because they had sex scenes, but they are doing fine, even if they don't get support by webtoons, at least they have lots of patreons (not that i can relate to that).

Nah, things ending badly would be the whole site going premium only. : P

That's what I did. I starting drawing them lewds and opened a Patreon page. Worked out OK, so ad revenue is not a huge concern for me, which is why I'm not overly upset over having ad revenue denied.

I'm sort of half expecting that.

[sadghost]

I'm doing the same, but didn't work ok...i only got 2 patreons (i lost one today due to denied payment, the dreaded first day of the month always take a tool on me). And only one of those is on the NSFW tier.

I’m hoping that maybe Tapas can explain that there are more mature works that aren’t in the “Mature section” on the web? I don’t want readers to think that those are the only mature works available...

Well, what I did was do a single tier with access to everything for $1. I work with the large volume, low margin model.
Also, you might like to post lewds on Pixiv and Hentai Foundry. They really help to get exposure.

It depends what they classify as "Mature", because if it's just porn, it won't be available anywhere else on the site.

Well, it looks like I was too trusting this time. Won't get caught again.
This is pretty crazy that we are forced to either do kid friendly or (professional) 18+.
I know it's not all Tapas' fault but the result is still that.
It's disheartening and very worrying.

[sadghost]

Agree. It also happens in webtoons. It's the Disney way or the highway.

[carloswebcomic]

Heh, I'm still doing my comic there...
Now that I've said that, I'll probably get kicked out now.

@michaelson are there plans to include novels in the mature section?

[Freemints30]

Really, only people to blame are the assholes flagging everything little jimmy might see(or what they simply don't like). It sucks but I still hold onto hope there might be a chance for the little guy.

I really hope that they allow the inclusion of non-premium stories, and novels into the mature section of Tapas. I'm carefully cutting pieces out of my story as I write it right now because I have to be careful about the maturity level of potential readers. It would be nice if I didn't have to cut out certain bits.

This going to be like porn comixxx, Cool! Anything other than BL on?

And would work like that of InCase and LeMay be on here?

[sadghost]

Cool! Anything other than BL on?

This is Tapas, so...no.

It's all about dick on dick action or the highway.

Yes, there are plans for novels to be included in a later iteration.

I check the forums every morning and evening, but I am hesitant to jump into these topics too early. I kind of want to see what organic discussions take place before jumping in and trying to answer anything. Would you all prefer that I jump in sooner?

Yes. Yes please.
The problem with delayed responses is that your post is usually very hard to find (I had to search for it, scrolling through 100 other posts). In addition, most flair ups are caused by having to rely on a limited amount of information or misinformation. Having hours to make up issues where there potentially are none helps little.

I would highly appreciate quick responses before giving us time to get upset at something that, with a little background information, would be nothing to be upset about.

Now that I've said that, I'll probably get kicked out now.

Triggered.
Saying that is just as bad as when people say "I'm sure this post will be flagged now."
No you won't. <3

Hey, I've been banished from the app, I've been denied ad revenue on Webtoons, getting kicked out would be the natural progression....
