Who Follows Twitter Comics Discussions?

[ToonDoctor]

Who here participates in one of these Twitter-based weekly comic chats like #webcomicchat #blaccomicschat or #comictalk ? They are fun ways to meet and chat with other creators.

[AnnaLandin]

I do! I really enjoy them. :3 I have been sticking mainly to #ComicTalk and #webcomicchat on Sundays, because those fall comfortably in my timezone.

I've been a #webcomicchat regular for a while! I very occasionally pop in for #comictalk as well.

Really looking forward to this week's #webcomicchat (topic: building creator confidence).

[AnnaLandin]

@keii4ii Oooh, that sounds like a nice topic! Is that the Saturday topic or the Sunday one?

[niinasalmelin]

I have been lurking them (and few times joined) since I'm still a quite new to twitter

[keii4ii]

@AnnaLandin The Saturday one. Sunday's topic is "resources for readers and creators" (which sounds WAY TOO BROAD of a topic!?).

comic chat is fun (,thought i mostly stand at the back eating biscuits and not making much contact at this point)

I always see them on my twitter dash, but it seems like they always fall on the times when I'm actually drawing comics (and livestreaming!) One day though.

I've participated in #webcomicchat and comictalk once. I would love to do them again, I keep forgetting about them because of being busy xD.

[elixiadragmire]

i try to take part in the EU one, unfortunately i keep forgetting due to the timing being the same time i'm hungry and cook dinner!!! XD I tend use a third party 'tweet deck' to follow the hashtag since Its easy to get lost in the chatter. I prefer #webcomicchat to #comictalk due to topic choices

[mg78]

im not too much in to twitter but i would try one day or another...

[Waterdrain]

I've been following some of the feeds for a while, I havn't joined any yet but I'd like to eventually c:

FYI, here are the topic schedules for the Twitter comic chats (that I know of):

Webcomicchat: http://webcomicchat.com/tagged/schedule/
Comictalk: 10am Sundays PST, this next one on 1/24 is on getting press attention for your comic. Follow JamieMeWrites on Twitter for updates: https://twitter.com/JamieMeWrites
Blackcomicschat: Check Twitter for scheduling https://twitter.com/BlackComicsChat

It's sometimes hard to fit them into your schedule, but worth keeping an eye on! For newcomers, I suggest not worrying about following every single conversation, but just choosing 2-3 threads to participate in at any given time.

[StevenDacasin]

I try to but i sometimes forget it's happening or im working.

[VermillionWorks]

I watch those (err, webcomicchat at least), but I've only partipated once so far. XD I'm just usually busy working on comics at that time and don't keep track of when they start well enough.

BUT I enjoy seeing other people's answers for those, and hopefully I'll participate more eventually. ^__^;;

[kambreapratt]

I have been on the #webcomicchat one a few times (when I remember.) I only found out about #comictalk a couple of days ago.

[shazzbaa]

I jump into #webcomicchat a bunch, but I haven't checked out #comictalk yet!

[quietsnooze]

I definitely do! And I recognize some of the usernames here from those! (: It's really great to connect with more creators and usually leaves me pretty inspired afterwards.

[getsuart]

I do, and I also recognize a lot of usernames when the comics discussions are on XD
My, the topics for #webcomicchat are so interesting! Too bad I can't be there...

BlackComicChat had a very cool discussion on the representation of Asians in comics - the old cliche about the the calm, all-knowing and serene martial artist. They discuss more than "black comics" so it should be of interest to more than the expected core audience.

I think webcomicchat is the most relevant to Tapastic creators. The questions are very good.
