Your most annoying moment in self publishing/Advertising or comic creating

[feba5]

"ah you're making comics?
such a cool hobby!"

[inbox_anime]

@feba5 thank You very much

[feba5]

It's surely the most annoying stuff that happened to me
People that treat your passion/job like a hobby D:

I think I'm going to have to do a copyright takedown on my own Amazon ebooks. I put them up, but I can't access them anymore. Apparently they have zero contingency plans for if the user somehow loses both their phones.

For me, it's mostly two things:

1. Waiting for my readership to grow
2. Paying for artwork that didn't turn out the way I wanted

@GoneForever same boat

"Your updates are too short! You should update by 10 pages!"
I'm sorry, but unless you are actually supporting my comic every month on Patreon then you have no say in how it updates (flips the bird) So bite me.

Also, let's not forget about fake patrons that bail out once it comes time to pay now that really pisses me off.

I don't enjoy when I come up with an idea for a comic and someone else is like, "but (this guy) already did that idea!" I can have my own take on something, OK? Also, when people treat my job like a hobby

[Kura]

Dealing with pushy, impatient readers that harass me about slow updates, find my address to show me they know where I live so I better stop being lazy and update, find my facebook to harass me about updates and then find my families facebooks to harass them about me updating, and send me threats of harm or death over friggen updates will always be the worst part for me.

[ChristodeBoyet]

People actually do that? You should fear for your life at all moments then. Holy cow that sounds terrifying.

[SpavVy]

Where do you find these kinds of people?! Seriously holy s***!

[joe_galindez]

Probably a consequence of having nearly four thousand readers. Get enough people together and you're bound to have a few crazy ones.

[VibrantFox]

starting multiple series with no plan only to watch them crumble like a castle of sand and die.

[gh0stcr33p]

hardly ever getting comments

[SpavVy]

I have close to 3k on my webtoon and 813 readers on Tapastic...none of my readers do anything close to this.

[Testaccount]

Hmm, isn't that the behavior that inspired Stephen King to write Misery?

[joe_galindez]

Genre differences maybe? I don't have nearly as many readers but they've all been nice so far.

[Kura]

I don't want to say furries, cause I really don't want to sound like I'm blaming an entire community, but 99% of my horrible fans are from my Raven Wolf fan base (this comic was a lot bigger on Mangamagazine/Inkblazers than on Tapastic, and the furry community seemed to like it because of the anthro style). My other series have yet to produce fans anywhere close to this demanding and intrusive.

[LordVincent]

I wouldn't know about furries or if they can be problematic, but I feel like it can sooortof be confirmed?

I make horror, I make gay shit, I have created spiritual stories, stories about angels, stories about transgender people, time travel, revolutions... None of it has attracted people who act anywhere near as rude as those Kura has to deal with. And I have like 50k subs total if you count both tapas and webtoons? Sure I get the occasional asshole who talks shit about trans people or spreads hate about me just cus I'm trans and gay... But still. I don't get people finding out where I live and threatening me o_o'''
