Thank you! i have already sent out an email so hopefully i am chosen!!
I'm currently working on a webcomic on tapastic. what layout would you prefer for me to send? My comic in a pdf file, a link to the comic or just the artwork?
Oh, sorry, didn't mean to sound impatient, I was just curious since I'd gotten an auto-response email saying I'd get a reply in a week. Though I knew this was a different case so the timeline would be a bit different. Also, I'm kinda worried that in my email I implied that I would be unavailable during the ideal timeframe, and I was wondering what the best way to clear that up would be. I'll be done with my current job in December, but I'm afraid I may have implied I'd be unavailable for even longer than that.
Oh yes, the auto-response was meant for normal submissions and was never de-activated until a while into the incubator submissions. Sorry about that! Whether or not a creator is available in our preferred time frame, we'll try to be flexible if their work is strong!
The incubator is for comic creators/writer + comic duos, not necessarily already publishing on Tapas.
The novels chosen to adapt into comics are chosen only from our pool of premium authors by Tapas staff.
I sent in my application yesterday I have been waiting for something like this for months now I am a writer but I have artists that are more than happy to work full time on my projects and having an editor and other creators around to assist in feedback would be amazing. I dedicate almost all my free time to comics. I have wanted to be a full time comic creator since I started more than 3 years ago.
Good luck to all who applied and I hope this program kicks off with success!
Wow, this is honestly such an amazing opportunity .3. One I've especially been looking forward to. Unfortunately, it's about a year too early unu
Hopefully it goes well, and you do it all again next year! o3o
Not sure if it was mentioned here, but can we submit story ideas already being posted on Tapas? I started my most developed story but I haven't made it all the way through the prologue.
Also, can we submit multiple original stories? I've written a few comics but haven't started drawing them yet.
I might have missed the answer, but I'll go ahead and ask anyways xD
I'm not from the USA, what about me 
do I get no love? v_v
I'm pretty sure this is for citizens only but whatevs
Hi @Exelcius ! It seems like you can still apply if you're outside of the USA but you will need to work remotely (not in-house). 
Hope that helps!
AAAAH, this sounds amazing. I definitely don't have time to work on another series though. Will this still be going on in years to come?
Sorry, I'm still really confused here. I wanted to do this when I first heard about this but the moving to Cali bit stopped me cause I live in Canada. Now it says it's optional but I still don't understand. How does this affect those living outside the US, cause I want to join this, it seems fun, but the guidelines are very confusing.
EDIT: Also now it looks like it'll be too late for me to join this :(
@mileshonor They did mention that they are hoping that it will still be around in the next few years. So definitely keep an eye out!
@megaanimefreak7 @michaelciotta This opportunity is for creating a brand new comic with the Tapastic editorial team. They'll help you with editing and polishing up your comic throughout the 3-6 month timeline. That does NOT require you to be at the physical location of their headquarters. It helps, but is absolutely not required. That is why it is optional. The deadline is September 9 at 11:59pm (PST) so you still have some time!
So is it a comic that the creator and Tapas will create together from the start? Will tapas become the creator's editor?
I have a manga but I'm already working with an editor/publisher, so I guess can't apply for that reason? It's also adapted for tankōbons and will be printed in screen tones. It's a little sad that you only allow colored comics and the vertical-scroll format. There's such a variety of comics out there, but I understand that the reader easily falls in love with colors. And if they can read the comic comfortably on their phone, well, sold. It works for webcomics/webtoons. (1/2)
I can see this development on so many webcomic platforms. Coloured comics in vertical scroll format are highlighted on the front pages, leaving other types of comics in some gray zone (lol gray zone). Sometimes I ask myself if my comics would get more recognition if I changed the format? Then again I love manga and ends up working with my preferred format. However, I think many comic artists can relate to this, that they are feeling more and more that they don't belong on these platforms unless their comics aren't in colours or in vertical scroll. (2/2)
