Hi
I was selected as one of the finalist in the most laughs category and yeah I think I had like between 150 and 250 subs when the first round ended (13th of September). I didn't have many views either because I uploaded all 8 episodes in 5 days right before the deadline... But I remember reading somewhere on the faq I think that the audience engagement was relative or something so I kept drawing like crazy without sleeping to finish on time...
But then one day boom, I gained 100 subs in hours and I was like wut and someone said in the comments I was on the recommended section ! When I checked I wasn't there anymore (which meant I was there for less than 12h)
A few days later I woke up like usual to go to school and I was told I was one of the final 8 ._.
Anyway I just wanted to let you know of my circumstances as one of the underdogs, I don't know if it's relevant tho
And Congrats @Haku your comic is so fricking beautiful it will be an honor to meet all them pros at the Comic Con !!!
