Unfortunately, we are not accepting any more applications at this time. We're still in the process of sending responses. Sorry about that!
We're still working out the logistics of this aspect of the Support Program.
Yes. The revenue tab will still showcase where the revenue is being generated from.
Yes, we'll be also sending e-mails with a separate overview of supporters and earned rewards for you to reference.
Possibly in the future. For now the novels section is exclusive to the app.
I wouldn't rule it out, but it won't be seeing a return in the near future. If we do plan on relaunching it, it will probably be a more updated version with more utility in conjunction to the app.
For our initial launch, we want to work with novels that are completely finished, then for future releases work with novels that are currently in progress. We agree that comments are an important tool for feedback. You'll still be able to interact with finished novels in the comment section, however, much like finished comics on Tapastic, your feedback's mileage may vary.
This will be possible further down along the road.
It will make more sense when we talk about our business model (which is currently a weak answer, I know). Reading novels on a desktop seems pretty tedious, I think desktop reading is more suited towards articles or shorter style narratives. I just don't think sitting at your desk and reading 300+ pages is super conducive, opposed to being able to read chunks of it on your mobile device at a time.
We aren't operating under the impression that desktops are going to be replaced by mobile devices - they serve different purposes. We just want to optimize for each use case.
Creators would write novels outside of the platform much like how the current Tapastic is. We'll mainly be a upload and distribution tool.
We have been talking to writers and publishers about what they'd like to see from the app both in terms of the front end design and utility as well as the backend information management. Once we have more of the app built out, we'll send invites to select creators to test it out and give feedback.
We'll be around for a long time. We're just giving the apps an overhaul to test things out
@fanyart I'll answer all of your questions soon!
Yes. Ad revenue is staying.
We'll be making an additional announcement regarding this soon.
We'll be making an announcement about linking soon.
