I'm a 33 years old French introverted lesbian, with a PhD in Computer Science, passionate about comics, video games, Japanese culture and deep learning.
I used to worry about whether I was a geek, a nerd or a dork. Now I know I'm all three.
I'm trying to figure out what to do with my life at the moment.

People who raised me tell me I was always a creator, long before when my own memories can stretch back to. Apparently, I even recited poems to the moon, aged 1, with very few real words thrown in for good measure. But for me, my story as a "creator" starts at a very specific time, I must have been…
Yeah... as a fellow Webtoon reader, I've noticed a lot of Webtoon readers tend to just skim over the content they subscribed to... I often see people ask questions in the comments whose answers were quite clearly given in a previous episode... So, my feeling is most Webtoon readers have many serie…
I'm sorry my super awkward entrance on the forums made things uncomfortable for you... I swear I was just a little rusty and sleep-deprived and I'll do my utmost not to remake things as bad as I did... 
I suppose I could be called a crybaby... I mean, I never cry for a purpose. Like, if there's someone watching who could be manipulated if they saw me cry, then I get all dried up... But any other circumstances? Flow is coming... I've cried so many times, reading comics, reading books, watching mov…
Lavender flavored cake is the best (according to me). I shall do my best to give you some more taste of that marvel. 
I'm pretty sure you don't actually need the reinforcement. But I really agree with you deeply, so here goes (please don't kill me): to me, this topic was NEVER about anything inherently bad in character design... just some tropes that are somewhat overused and get a little stale because we see the…
Thank you. That is a great bit of explanation for me. Cause I really do struggle with the thought of someone looking for tutorials and then harassing some tutorial creator for calling their skill newbie material... but if they just followed someone and some retweet came up on their feed and they w…
You're absolutely right. Creativity is a skill. Much like any other skill, some people are born with more "natural talent" than others. Some things that seem completely trivial to me (like say, coming up with an idea for a plot or a character concept) are extremely hard for others... And unfortu…
Couldn't agree more. I'm a huge fan of Isaac Asimov and he managed quite well with only human beings. After all, there is plenty of diversity and exotism on Earth already... there is no reason why human beings born on different planets, solar systems or even galaxies wouldn't develop cultures that…
I agree with all you've said... and that's why I'm happy with silly babel fishes. All I need as a reader is a wink wink nudge nudge "of course aliens don't speak English, so there's this deus ex thingy that translates and it's all fine now". I know it sounds cheap, but I think that people arriving…
Also... why do most sentient species in the universe speak English? A majority of Earth-born human beings don't... I get that not every creator wants to deal with linguistics (though it makes for a great plot complication if you ask me), but at least invent a babel fish or something to handwave th…
Sorry, I was not trying to assume anything about your intention. 
I just think that what you're saying reinforces my initial point, because if flat shoes are considered safer than high heels for violent scenes, then it makes no sense for most female fighters to wear high heels to begin with.
Ju…
My two cents as an avid Webtoon reader (on both desktop and mobile): the platform makes it hard to follow authors. Afaik, you can't subscribe to the creators themselves, so if you switch from a series to another, chances are a big chunk of your readers will not follow, even if you notify them... I…
You mean it's wrong because stunt actresses are sometimes allowed to wear something slightly different... but right because in the instance you thought of, they precisely were allowed not to wear high heels? 
OMG, that's like... the original sin of Hollywood. Everyone is always so clean and h…
Ooooooooooow... such a nightmare... [image]

Wait... so when your buffer level gets low, you just postpone releases for a while? What are all those sites you're publishing on, btw (as an interested author but also avid reader, full disclosure)?
3 months ahead??? How come? Is your series releasing monthly, then??? Cause if it's weekly, I can't even... And if it's daily, I might just start a cult.
EDIT: I get it about the webtoon quick edits... if you prepare many episodes, you can neither schedule nor change the order before publishing…
Hey there, wonderful Tapas community! So, I recently started bringing my series over here from Webtoon, and that gave me a loooooooot of buffer. Even with 3 episodes a day, I still have enough to last till past July 7th... So I'm curious. How much buffer do Tapas creators generally have? Do you …
Just checked and yep, you can click on the pencil icon and edit all the details about your webtoon series, including title, thumbnail, description AND genres. 
I'm curious how the harassers came to know about her tutorials... I mean, presumably someone who would go out of their way to look up tutorials would NOT feel insulted by discovering that their skills are somewhat lacking? Why else would you look for tutorials in the first place? Or am I just bein…
Seems like I'm the only one going for the second one... Basically it's her expression that got me. Also, her fedora hat hiding her right eye... I like that.
Thanks for that info. I had no idea such a rule existed... I'll try to make sure not to self-promote too much, then.
Ha. Perfect description (imo) of the three protagonists of two of my favorite novel series: A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket and The Demonata by Darren Shan. I think children who are too naive to realize how hard adult life is, but smart enough to realize a lot of adults are full…
Sure. But some communities are more welcoming than others, right? I've posted some pretty opinionated things on Medium, for instance, and was bracing myself for a ton of trolling and hatred, but got only constructive answers every time. It took me ages to dare to publish my comic strips on Webto…
If I adapted my series into a video game... Would it remind people too much of Kingdom of Loathing and West of Loathing? I get the feeling I might get hate mail over the art style being unoriginal...
Mostly reliable. Introverted, too serious for their own good. Maybe a bit tsundere. I'd expect this character to be much more of a softie inside than they'd show, at least to people they've met recently.
Kept refreshing and getting HTTP 502 errors (barely ever had seen those before)... Kept checking on https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ to make sure it was not a problem with my browser or ISP...
So glad it's resolved!! 
Excellent timing! I was considering making a "Ask Prof. Oops Anything" reddit thread this morning... 
I've only ever lurked on reddit so far myself... Essentially because whenever I stumble upon a reddit thread, it's either a simple Q&A or it's a toxic mess of trolling... Never felt like contribu…
