Hello, my name is Michael Son, Editor in Chief of Tapas and www.tapastic.com.
You can reach me by either posting on my wall: www.tapastic.com/michaelson (I'm actually pretty sure I own www.tapastic.com/michael too...) or by e-mailing me at michaelson@tapasmedia.co (that's .co and not .com, I know, it's weird).
Anyway, individual recommendations are ALWAYS welcome, however, I don't think we should necessarily build a feature for that. Simply because we are severely understaffed in order to handle something like that. @keii4ii is correct when they say that it's really only one person doing a majority of the curation and I do rely very heavily on metric based curation.
I'm DEFINITELY guilty of missing a ton of great comics that should have made it on the Staff Picks/New and Noteworthy section. But I am happy to look at any recommendations that any of you might have for series that you think deserve some more exposure in that section. However, please note that I'm not always able to reply to your messages or always able to accommodate. Remember that you are suggesting titles for the section.
The site does have a function where readers can recommend comics to be featured. Social interactions are at the core of Tapastic and the Popular/Trending section are based solely off of that. It's just that an individual reader is not able to dictate this section, it really takes a community to get a comic on there.
@joannekwan there was a feature designed similar to that! It just never really got past the design stages. We decided to just make that section as modular and flexible as possible, so if you wanted you could totally recommend another comic in that section.
