To anyone with low/crawling readership

Funny Marygold, you made a similiar topic recently about low subs. But yeah, thanks for the heads up. We make our comics for our own first. I hope the folks with 5k subs within the first month do think the same way...

This is exactly what I'm doing ... especially to draw the story for the story and not for the stats!
My characters have a tournament to win, and a target to reach: to be called on the National Team, even if they have to pass through all gradual phases of a Championship, a Regional Tournament and the National Selections!

How long did it take to get that?

Thank you These are really kind and nice words. A lot of people should read this and stop complaining about low subs ^^ I also had to learn this that stats aren't that important. It's the fun you have while drawing - even though you can get really excited to share your joy and then get devestated that no one reads it. I always try to remember why I started my story and the joy working on it.

@aronthemason that would be really cool 😋
@jorissweyen couldn't resist the occasional temptation to be concerned about milestones ^ ^" ironically that thread REALLY hammered into me that stats shouldn't be a worry, because the time lengths were so different. But yeah, how funny!
@sauropasquini I hope your characters win the tournament!
@United_cuttles it varies. Others it only took a few months or less to get to 100. Took me a year to get to fifty. As I was saying to jorissweyen, the numbers are so different for every person. I wouldn't worry about stats. Relax, have fun, and guarantee you WILL get there!
@genjiOtori Yay! Indeed! Drawing is the only thing I can willingly get up for. Sometimes I forget to eat what about you?

@genjiOtori Yay! Indeed! Drawing is the only thing I can willingly get up for. Sometimes I forget to eat what about you?

Haha, yes! I totally do that too I also do sounds and mimik the face expression of my characters. Sometimes I even forget to sleep. I really have to take more care of myself xD

[marygold]

@genjiOtori Yes! The mimicking part. I don't think I want anybody stumbling upon me when I'm drawing a raging character, one time when I was little my mom came across me imitating the pose of one of my characters. It took me an hour and a bucket of tears to get over it.

Haha, I just lost sleep last night.

[genjiOtori]

@marygold Oh yeah! My mother already knew that so she never was surprised. But sometimes I'm so into the character that I also start to cry ;__; Or get angry or sad or happy ^^

I feel ya. Sometimes I get only 3hours of sleep and then have to get to work. My collegues wonder what I'm doing so late at night xD

Thank you for this post. It felt good to read. I am just getting started on this site so have very few subscribers on my comic https://tapastic.com/series/magicadvisor . I have been feeling sad about it but you are right! It gave me a lot of inspiration to read you post.

[marygold]

@MissMagicGirl I'm glad to hear that! You have good humor, so I'm sure people will come to enjoy your comic!

[carliv]

[dglisson]

This. I definitely agree. Don't give up! Keep working on your art, your story, get better! Write for yourself and for your target audience, and it WILL grow.

You said what I was really need to ear today! thanks

[MissMagicGirl]

@marygold thank you! What is your comic called? I want to check it out

[marygold]

@MissMagicGirl You are already reading it and I am so thankful for your support! RE:Birth Gate 😉

[demthorshie]

Congratz! And yes, I agree. You create the comic because you want the story to be told and eventually completed.

[gone]

Thats so sweet and encouraging* hugs*

[marygold]

@demthorshie Lol I wonder when the completion of my comic would be... Combined with school and work, completion is probably twenty years away...
@United_cuttles hugs back we can do it!
