Aw, not at all! I love all the comments I get, especially when most of them bring a smile to my face!
@mrjonzap I worry about this all the time! D: ...I get really nervous and think, "Oh gosh. If I comment on every new page I'll come off as a weird stalker..." ;u;
@AnnaLandin Aww, I know! Wish more readers knew how special they make creators feel when they reach out with a comment. I guess there's a bit of a tenativeness to disturb the creator, or perhaps people think their comment will never be seen. Or maybe readers just forget that there is a human being behind the creation... D:
@joannekwan Oh man, sometimes I get a little stage fright in your comment section because people are so creative, I kinda wonder, "Oh dear, what hasn't already been said?" Haha! XD
I remember the fist comment that I had clearly, it was about how he/she loved the way my action series was going since it is a action comic based on a storyline n all, that was when I knew that I'm getting somewhere with my comic and don't need to be discouraged because there are people out there who would love to read my comic.
Unfortunately I can't get to the page now to mention the name of my subscriber that posted it my mum's yelling my name into the sky right now so I gotta go for sometime but I remember it was around episode 12 to 19 that the comment was made before I got some other comments on my earlier episodes
I get repeated comments a lot but I still like them since it's just more people affirming the same thing (usually for the better)!
@JessJackdaw I am well aware of my stalkerish tendencies but idgaf, I love the comic and if there's something worth commenting on I will comment... I do worry about it sometimes though, so I only save my comments for when I have something really witty/sassy/funny to say haha
@Greg_Dickson Thanks for the kind words Greg, I'm really touched that my comment had such an effect :') . Keep up the great work buddy, your work's going from strength to strength!
@JessJackdaw Aw, cheers Jess! Looking forward to seeing your comic when you're ready to start posting.
LMFAO I'm usually fast reply in general because I'm always at my computer 24/7. And people seem to like the fast reply so I just keep it up > : D
Oh yes, I'm always behind on the news. I didn't even know what pokemon go was until yesterday when a friend mentioned it XD
I'm hoping twitter will make up for my lack of knowledge hahaha
When I recieved my 1st comment on my comic....
I read it like 10 times, felt super happy and ran downstairs to tell my mom.... yes >.>......
NO NO, I gotta be honest, I'm stupidly verbose with awesome work like yours because it's immediately accessible, exciting, and evocative. Like, I just started reading Heavy Horns because Erie Waters ended and I was like, "I've seen this around, I wonder how it is?" And yeah, right in, it is bloody awesome. You manage some of the most incredible comics -- the writing, the characters, the ART culminates to make these amazing, fabulous stories that draw you right in.
SO YES, it just comes tumbling outta me because it's crazy rare to find such ace content consistently from an artist/creator. You slayin', man, you slayin'. I deeply enjoy looking through work that's being approached with passion and man alive, tapastic has a grand amount of brilliantly passionate people!
When I first started off, I had the hopeless idea that I could make my way in the world of comic creating and start off strong! Would tons of people flock to my series I put hours of work into? Well no. And looking back, for good reason. I really had no idea about anything. At first, I was like, "Why aren't people looking at my stuff?"
But then I got two subscribers. And one of them commented "This is cute!" Or something along those lines.
It was then that I realized that there was hope, a possibility that I could in fact reach those high places if I just kept going! I was relatively unknown, so it made sense that nobody was around to see my stuff. But those two subscribers, that one comment, it was like a small light at the end of the tunnel, slowly getting bigger at time would go on.
I could imagine what would've happened if I had just made a comic and got nothing in return. No comment, no like, no subscriber... I probably would've been devastated!
(Looking back I was a fragile little thing, even though it was only a year and half ago. hahaha)
But it was that one comment that said that I had a chance. If somebody liked it, then maybe it could work out.
I don't remember my first comment, but this gif sums my reaction:
Whenever I got some new comments, I still do
I was ecstatic! Number of views/subs/likes and all that but someone had actually taken the time to write something? I could hardly believe it!
For a minute I was pretty sure I was hallucinating because I still hadn't finished posting Chapter 1 and it was almost 2 in the morning where I live LOL. I couldn't believe someone had taken the time to comment just on the prologue; I was ecstatic 
They complimented my character design, as well, something I put a lot of love and care into, so that just instantly made it all 500% worth it
EDIT: Also, I'm pretty sure I edited my reply to them like 5 times due to sheer nervousness, lol
When I got my first comment for my comic Abducted I was crazy excited. That excitement quickly turned to nervousness (I'm talking asking your crush out to prom, nervous) when I realized I had to reply back lol. I endedup not responding ;_;

Pure excitement! It was when I realized that my writing was, in fact, not total shit.
I still remember that @Okaishy was the first to ever comment. We had met on the forums and we read each other's books. I was so happy that even though it was not what she usually read, she still took her time to read it and actually liked it. Then I believe it was @ratscout and @burginlewis who commented next 
Their support and comments are really what keep me writing even now. So shout out to them They were my original readers
I really love it when people comment, even if it is to say, "Hey I found a typo," It lets me know that people are actually taking the time to read and enjoy my stories.
Just a little tip for when you publish your own work, a great way to "break the ice" is to ask your reader a question at the end of your work. Like what did you think of this event or this character. It is not only a great way to get responses, but you also get valuable feedback.

The feeling of validation that comes with someone engaging with something you created is really awesome. I've only had two people comment on one of my novels so far, with one of them commenting on almost every other page. I'm still fairly new to publishing on tapas, though I've been around the site for years as a reader. It feels very overwhelming to put something out there when there's so many other things people could be reading, so to get even one person to comment within a week of posting was pretty neat.
I just posted my second novel series today, so I'm a little antsy again, but I just have to remind myself to be patient haha
So my first comment ever in my art experience, was a link to a porn site. 
so uhm... you can say that was not cool, thanks DA, but my first comment on tapas was much better. I was actually really excited and happy to see that people like what I am doing (other than my personal friends). It made me feel like it was worth the effort it takes to keep creating.
