When I need to kill time before work starts.

Afternoon time.

[Devika]

I mostly read before going to sleep in the evening, on the app so I can tip. I don't go on fresh or look for new works that often right now, it's a once in a while thing.
As for what makes me subscribe... The feeling that I want to read more. What leads to that on the other hand is a topic of its own. xD

1) What time do you guys normally go on Tapastic to read?
Usually around before I go to sleep, so at like 11pm or 12am.

2) What time do you guys normally go on Tapastic to upload?
I generally upload at around midnight, but I just schedule it to post at a decent daytime hour XD

3) How often do you read new works?
Lately not as much, since I barely have time to read the stuff I'm already subscribed to -3- And when I do check out something new, it's cause my friend added it to my subscription list and was like "you're gonna read this"

4) How often do you go on Fresh?
Not often, tbh

5) What makes you subscribe?
An interesting start (or at least interesting looking characters if its a slow start. Pretty art/colors are always a plus too

6) What kind of things do you look for in a comic?
cute boys I have a bit of a bias for colored art lol. But if it looks good in it's black and white form, I'll give it a chance. Most of the black and white comics I follow were recommended to me

7) What makes a good comic in your opinion?
Interesting characters! Your art could be not-the-best, and I'd still read on if the characters were worth paying attention to.

Far enough

1) What time do you guys normally go on Tapastic to read?
2) What time do you guys normally go on Tapastic to upload?
Morning, usually with breakfast. Webcomics are kind of my morning paper

3) How often do you read new works?
All the time. It's really not that hard to keep up because so many webcomics just stop updating =(

4) How often do you go on Fresh?
I'd say twice a week? If I'm looking for new comics I go to "Browse All" and sort by date

5) What makes you subscribe?
Instant subscription if the comic has something relevant to my interests (birds, dreams etc) or takes place in an area I've been to. Otherwise there's just something random I like about it. I'm not a picky reader.

6) What kind of things do you look for in a comic?
I tend to be drawn to comics either with a lot of suspense and the weird or unique.

7) What makes a good comic in your opinion?
Mainly one where the reader can tell what's happening

--- aw man, the Amtrak site isn't letting me cheat on this one

[JessJackdaw]

1) What time do you guys normally go on Tapastic to read?

Ahh...well. During my lunch at work ususally also at night.

2) What time do you guys normally go on Tapastic to upload?

Umm, around 7-8pm EST for me usually.

3) How often do you read new works?

I'll snoop for new comics usually 2-3 times a week. Depends on how busy I am.

4) How often do you go on Fresh?

Aww jeez, I hate the way Tapastic's Fresh section is set up, so unfortunately almost never. I usually check the forums and Trending section for new comics.

I like how Webtoons handles fresh comics better. Less of an onslaught of information and options.

5) What makes you subscribe?

Ahh...good art style, expressive characters, solid layout/legibility, and a good story to boot will make me subscribe.

Also monsters and creatures are certainly a bonus.

6)What kind of things do you look for in a comic?

Same as above really. ; >

7)What makes a good comic in your opinion?

A good understanding of pacing can make or break a comic. I love a well timed story that works with the upload speed Also what I listed for subscribing.

[joannekwan]

1. I log on everyday at around 10 and I read what's updated in my library, except weekends. Weekends I'm usually out and about and I might read on my phone through the app.
2. I upload my eps whenever I have them ready, and I queue them to drop at 12am on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays (I have 3 series).
3. I'd say I will look at 5 or so new series each week, whatever I find through the Fresh section or Trending to a lesser extent.
4. I like to check the Fresh section once each in the morning, afternoon, and evening.
5. http://forums.tapastic.com/t/whats-your-top-three-comic-must-haves-for-you-to-keep-reading/16411/8?u=joannekwan
6. I dunno, something that tickles my fancy.
7. I have to stay engaged as a reader and care for what's happening in the story.

Bonus: What do I care? I'm in Cali.

Heyo. Well, I haven't been on this site for a huge amount of time, and my sci-fi comic Outer Spaces (mostly about positive thoughts, anxiety and space llamas) has only been around for a month and a half or so, but I'll give it my best!

1. What time do you guys normally go on Tapastic to read?
Typically I'm on for a quick check in the morning (I like to get there a little after nine, which is when I've scheduled my own updates in my time zone) and then a lot more in the late night or early AM.
2) What time do you guys normally go on Tapastic to upload?
Spread out across the time zones, my comic goes up between 6AM and 9AM. I get the feeling that most uploaders tend to get their work done at night, but a majority of readers seem to surface in the morning, and I try to have it there to start off their day, since Outer Spaces is a lot about positivity and making it through the day.
3) How often do you read new works?
Fairly often! I definitely try to check out new comics frequently. I tend to get pretty invested in the series I follow, though, so I tend to only subscribe to as many as I can keep up with.
4) How often do you go on Fresh?
It's actually my favorite method to pull up a variety of new comics, and see if anything similar is showing up in my genre. I like to see what people are up to.
5) What makes you subscribe?
An interesting art style, a great story, a fascinating character design, or some excellent writing are all things that would bring in my subscription. There's so many comics that interest me though, so I try to keep my count manageable.
6) What kind of things do you look for in a comic?
A story that's easy to understand off the bat, while not always possible, is definitely a plus. I also like to see development as it goes on. Webcomics are a unique opportunity to build a universe one day at a time.
7) What makes a good comic in your opinion?
If you're passionate about the story, and willing to put the time and love in to let it flourish and grow, that's enough for me.

I'm here to provide emotional support, not math homework. (Unless you're REALLY stuck. Then maybe!)

I create the series JODDAS VAPD so many questions!

1) What time do you guys normally go on Tapastic to read?
On Wednesday evening I will use that time to catch up with series that are longer, but I generally read pages the second I notice an update while I'm not at work or class.

2) What time do you guys normally go on Tapastic to upload?
I upload three days a week and set it to 2:00 P.M. because that's what I've been doing for four years on my wordpress page and it works there, plus it's consistant.

3) How often do you read new works?
It really has to catch my attention. If I don't feel that a work has a purpose then I don't really stick around for too long.

4) How often do you go on Fresh?
Now that I think about it, not very often. It sounds pretty cold when I put it that way, but it always seems kind of disorganized whenever I do look at it. I dunno I'll have to look at it again.

5) What makes you subscribe?
If the content the person creates hits a mark with me. If their story has a purpose it's trying to provide, and if it's the author sticks with it.

6) What kind of things do you look for in a comic?
Good story, art is a minor, whether the creator is serious about their content.

7) What makes a good comic in your opinion?
If I'm willing to stick with the series until the end.

Bonus question (uneeded):
A train leaves Chicago for Detroit going 60 mph. At the same time, on an adjacent track, a train leaves Detroit heading for Chicago going 45 mph. Detroit is 280 miles from Chicago. How far are the trains from Chicago when they pass?
I may be wrong, but:
60x + 45x = 280
105x = 280
x = 280/105
x = 2.6666666...
x = 2.667 round to the third place.
So the trains will be 2.66 miles away from Chicago when they pass each other.

1: 4-5pm GMT, when i get home from college. also 7-8am GMT, waking up, if i have time.

2: i usually upload wednesdays, 12pm EST

3: rarely, these days. when im bored i check out some comics that catch my eye though, and read comics ppl post abt on forums.

4: ^ whenever im bored n curious

5: enjoying a story, wanting to know where it goes next. art is very make or break for me, but if i really enjoy a story ill sub even if im not feeling the art.

6: interesting art, good characters, a compelling storyline

7: thats a good question... i think. not only being understandable, but creative - makes the reader think, or plays with the medium, does some really cool panelling. also, of course, a good story, which requires a compelling narrative and multidimensional characters. i guess examples are the 2015 hawkeye title, anything by kieron gillen, anything ive ever read from boom! studios... idrk, if im honest

[eicue]

1) What time do you guys normally go on Tapastic to read?
My scheduled time for comics is weekends in the morning, but since the Tipping feature started, I watch ad videos and read in my phone at every chance I have XD
2) What time do you guys normally go on Tapastic to upload?
I schedule my updates on first and third sunday every month, usually at 12:00 AM PST, but I get very confused with time zones, so, if I'm online and it's already sunday in my country, I publish right then.
3) How often do you read new works?
When I catch up with the long series I'm suscribed to.
4) How often do you go on Fresh?
It was my prefered method to find new stuff, but now I prefer to get suggestions from the forums. Here is much people working hard to promote their series.
5) What makes you subscribe?
I like deep topics, original character design, good art, good narrative, good grammar and language use. I also check if the author uploads often.
6) What kind of things do you look for in a comic?
I want to feel emotions: to laugh, to cry, to be surprised.
7) What makes a good comic in your opinion?
A well developed story, that explores some aspects of human kind and has no fillers: every episode must show something important.
Bonus question : A train leaves Chicago for Detroit going 60 mph. At the same time, on an adjacent track, a train leaves Detroit heading for Chicago going 45 mph. Detroit is 280 miles from Chicago. How far are the trains from Chicago when they pass?
Both are160 miles away from Chicago. ( I corrected my answer)
