Would you want to live in your webcomic's world/universe?

[demthorshie]

I remember having a discussion about this sort of thing years back on another website and some of the answers were really interesting!

For me personally, the world of Cosmos Song would probably be a bit overwhelming for me as well as a lot of other people in the real world. Just with all of the unreal elements and creatures that roam the planet. A lot of locations in their world are either extremely dangerous or extremely difficult to get around by conventional means. I guess you can say that it's somewhat like an RPG fantasy world, but in comic form! So in short, I probably wouldn't want to live there, or not by myself at least!

Can't wait to see what you all have to say!

[joannekwan]

Well all three of my series are set in contemporary times with some supernatural elements that aren't apparent to the general public. So yeah I would definitely live there!

[Raven_C]

The world in the story I'm currently working on is plagued by demons and spirits, most of them dangerous. So, nah, I probably wouldn't want to live there.

[noctuidae]

rains too much, houses are cramped, and video games weren't invented yet. no thanks.

[60Six]

Considering this is a common occurrence in my comic's world, no thanks, I'm good. :'D

[demthorshie]

Hahah fair enough @.@!~

[shazzbaa]

Hmmmmmm

The world of Runewriters is kinda psuedo-1300s-ish, and magical abilities are kind of rare and you have to be born with them, so assuming I'm just moving my normal mundane self there, ehhhhhh...... I dunno, I like indoor plumbing.... and central heating...... and like, freaking, modern medicine. Also it's nice to know my town will never be attacked by a giant multi-armed bleeding skeleton.

It'd be neat to visit but I don't think I'd stay.

On the other hand, if I were to become a runewriter upon arrival, even though magic is, uh, sorta dangerous, that would make it QUITE TEMPTING. I feel like I could sacrifice toilet paper for the ability to turn into a wolf.

living in the grunk world? hell no!

[jmhenry]

Part of me says no, but another part is convinced I'll have awesome psychic powers to play with. I dunno...

[Aetherwing]

Does this offer come with wings or crippling poverty?

[AnnaLandin]

Probably not? I mean, I adore old architecture and polished wood and big forests and all that (IRL, I like in a tiny town out in the sticks), but I still don't think I'd get along too well in the world of Grassblades. They might have figured out indoor plumbing, but they don't have indoor heating, they don't have a printing press, they don't have electric lights, their medicine is not as advanced as I would like it to be, etc. etc. It might be nice to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.

Also, they have demons. Big, scary, drooling, snake-tongued, spike-toothed demons. AND there's a grumpy dude wandering around with a sword, a bad temper and violent magical powers he can't fully control.

I think I'm good! XD

[mariusthered]

well as I am the Mayor of Swipe city yes I would love to live there.

I would not want to be a teenager living in swipe city, especially in the Williams or Finn household as both of those family's have crazy moms.

This Mortal Coil is set in the RealWorld++. It's everything you love about the real world, plus all the gods you believe in (and don't believe in) are real. Most of the time they don't care about us and leave us be, but sometimes something supernatural intersects with our mortal realm and things go haywire. You may meet Kamiko as she tries to fix it for you (or for herself). It might be interesting to be in this world because you could see something supernatural. It might be terrible if it happens to you, but the chance of that is pretty slim, so you'll be okay (until you're not).

In the world of Drugs & Wires? Not in a million years. Our tagline is "Everything went wrong" for a reason. And our protagonist's living conditions don't help either:

[scythe]

Yep, mine's more or less the same, so I agree.

[chiharu_j]

Whoa, well that would be an interesting experience. My entire comic world is divided into different worlds but at the same there are lots of not so nice elements that trickle into each world from another. So while it would be interesting meeting beast people, shapeshifters, and demons (i.e supernatural beings), the ones with tainted souls that have gone evil and lust for blood and souls that wouldn't be so much fun.

Otherwise, I wouldn't mind diving into my comic world, especially the Demon World because it's just a hive of a mix of many different cultures and beings. It's a huge place with lots of new things to discover

[zetina]

The one I'm doing rn isn't different enough.

The other ones...? One has dragons and magic so yes plz. Though I'd have to be careful about the time period, haha~ One is that world's equivalent of our medieval times and another point is pretty much the end of the world. The modern day equivalent would be all right tho.

There's one universe of mine where I like dropping a mishmash of ideas that could be either super dangerous or super whimsical and fun to live in, depending on whether I'd be a normal human or not, heh.

[Zanreo]

Let's see, it's like the real, current- day world... except personified representation of game companies exist? Could be interesting...

[Wishjacked]

no way. noooooo waaaaaay. The world of Pirate Comic has only barely been touched so far, but it's awful. The whole premise of the world is that every possible thing that could go wrong has gone wrong. It's stuck in eternal winter, there're like four different wars going on, the president has made everything illegal, there are zombies, there's famine, and freak storms roll through the coast frequently. It's a horrible place to live. I wouldn't even want to visit.

[Silerna]

Oh yeah sure! In my comic, Silerna's home is connected with the beach/sea. Who wouldn't want a beachhouse? I totally would!
