Dear @STAFF,

Please look at my comic. It's a romantic comedy of sorts with dogs and pop culture references. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

Best Regards,

GamerPrincessXI

Is it possible to learn this power? (Or however that meme goes...)

Same here, but again. Not brave enough. (Maybe when I start DRGN....)

Does not know how this will turn out....but am fascinated and a lil' scared.

Same here. I'm getting the popcorn ready to see what happens....

The really big question is will it pay off? I mean... if this person gets featured everyone will assume it's because of this and then everyone will try that's in the forum...

I for one can't wait for the nuclear firestorm of self-promotion that will ensue if this person succeeds in getting their comic chose by the staff with this topic! :wink:

Or....

more likely they get a private message from staff and we NEVER find out what happens.

Course.... they might say something on their own about what happened!

Three probabilities I'd say: Replied in private, get ignored, or just get their topic liked. I think the staff will know the future consequences of people trying to pull this feat, if they're getting promoted in the end (I'm sure it won't do good, for staffs and fellow creators)

PS: Regardless of context of this topic and its replies, good luck to OP @GamerPrincessXI and their extraordinary self-promotion. I hope you find suitable audience, you've pulled some display here.

Weird thought...

Does this mean the the Tapas Staff DOESN'T already check/monitor all series?

I think they do monitor and read, but not promoting and thoroughly read all of them.

If this one gets featured because of this in the end, many will try to do the same thing. Staffs got overwhelmed because can't promote all, some creators might get disappointed.

Sorry if I get it wrong

I think it's hard for them to do so. Think about how many there are. I'm sure they have people assigned to look at particular content areas- but even then they will not have time to check every single one every time it updates. Not when they have novels as well

That's the thing though...

If they're reading everyone's series, then this can't overwhelm them because they all ready know about ...

...and have an opinion of it.

Or more likely...

This scenario.... and this bold move brings the series to their attention.

I am intrigued.

But that's the thing, this comic may have backed themselves into an unexpected corner.

If the tapas staff promotes them now, anytime I'd say in the next 2 months when this thread is fresh in folks memories- people will for sure assume it was because this author reached out to them directly in the forum. This will cause- in all likelihood - a flood of people wanting to catch the eye of the staff as well. If I was the staff, this would make it so they COULDN'T get promoted for as long as 6 months (best case) to ensure the memory of this thread was good and gone. This means if they were going to catch their eye naturally in the next month or so, they prevented themselves from getting that promotion. If they weren't, then maybe they'll get promoted at a later date when the promotion wouldn't be likely to be connected to this thread.

Worst case situation, they may NEVER be able to be promoted for this comic in anything that's picked by staff. It's the same reasoning why many writers will refuse to read fan fiction about their works. They do not want anyone thinking that they published something that a fan wrote. It gives the wrong impression of what the writer was doing.
