You know the worst part? It's really hard to abandon a comic with bigger numbers if it doesn't doing too great, it's hard to accept all those people don't read it. I have never did sub for sub, but my comic got a pretty big following on WT thanks to front page featuring. Except most of subscribers h…

Reformatting for vertical scroll IS A PAIN
Questions

It is a huge pain in the ass, so much so that I do it opposite style now--so I'm starting in scroll format, saving every single panel in a different file, and then putting them together after. Like it does mean I sacrifice a lot of the fun I could've had in page format, but like...I'm probably never…

Moving from Webtoon to Tapas after my content was reported! Feelin lonely! (also, anyone else gone through something similar and want to connect?)

i'm so sorry :(( my favorite media is the type that features darker themes like that..... and I want more platforms to offer places for that!!! I was considering doing the censored thing for webtoons, but in the end I decided that the graphic stuff is essential to the story. And it's awful that webt…

"Previously, on..." Recaps, yay or nay?
Questions

My comic is long (700+ pages) and updates only twice a week, so it's easy for readers to forget something. I always point out important things (with links to relevant pages) in the author's comment below the comic page. My readers say it helps a lot. Also, it doesn't clutter the comic itself and doe…

I'm thinking the same! Working consistently on things I love (i.e. besides work) isn't something I'm good at. But thanks to this I've managed to stick to a more regular routine. Checking out everyone else's works was also fun and eye-opening! Thanks again for hosting this challenge @gabriellabalag…

How to stand out when you don't make what's "popular"
Off Topic

Yeah, I understand those feels, especially when the most common answer to "what I'm doing isn't working" is to "work harder" when it's like...this is my limit, I am at my limit. The landscape of having to rely on followers and notes completely for work is just a nightmare. I personally don't use my …
