I write soft gay nonsense mixed with dark humor. Fantasy/magical realism and science fiction are the main genres I work in.

Yes, sadly for the past few months I've been doing this cute thing where I break out into tears for no apparent reason. I mean, I know the there are reasons gestures at the state of the world but I'll just be doing something random/normal and then ~wham~ it's all 'hello darkness my old friend'. G…
Yes, I've done it every year since like 2011 or 2012. I rarely make the 50,000 words, as I prefer to write slower and turn out content I can actually stand to re-read. The few times I've pushed myself to 50,000 I ended up just incredibly embarrassed those words had been typed by my hands haha! …
Yes!!! I just subscribed. I love science and work in a scientific field adjacent to rocketry. Love the moon facts, including the one about the cheap flag! One time I decided to read the original transcripts from various moon missions and they were so interesting and actually very entertaining! The…
Sucks for you comic creators! Weird how its only for novels
If they feature you, they always let you know. Tapas has let me know each time. I agree, getting those screenshots is nice! If you didn't get a message from them, then there are few other possibilities other than a feature. You might have reached trending which would have given you a lot of new vis…
I love "hungry" at the very top. And then there's "eaten" and "lunch" and "food". Are you starving your characters or something?? haha!
Not sure how helpful my advice would be, since I use it for novel writing. But I love to edit my novels in the vertical split mode, the original on one side and the edit/rewrite on the right. I find the snapshot function (I boxed the icon in red, looks like a little camera) helpful to save versions/…
OMG are you serious!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! ;_; I'll download Chrome specifically to use this. I can't wait to try it out on my next episode! Thank you again for all your great work on this.
First of all: you can be a minority without suffering persecution, although disabled people certainly have. Second of all: if you don't think disable people have suffered persecution, I encourage you to do some more reading about the fight for equal treatment under the law. Videos for your vie…
Hey there are a few YouTube channels I follow that give great insight into what it's like to live as a quad or amputee. First up: Roll with Cole and Charisma Charisma and Cole talk very frankly about their relationship as an interabled and interracial couple. Cole is a quad and his insight into re…
Greek automata. Steam machines and mechanical engines in the BC, giving you holy water vending machines, primitive binary computers, automatic doors and more. Greek temples, while mere stone facades today in most cases, were actually very advanced with a lot of cool gadgets and even things like m…
Your art style is fantastic! Wow! Your project sounds interesting. Love me some monster of the week. Also, the discussion of online identity and online safety is something I'm really interested in. Nothing dies on the Internet, for better or for worse. As for my own experience, I write queer sho…
This is so click-baitey haha. And it got me because clearly I clicked. "Decent" stories are objective. Banning books/genres is a sign of dictatorship. Books of varying quality are published across all genres. Sex and talking about sex isn't bad. The article you read honestly sounds like pure cl…
I think you can minimize the episode list now. Just double click on 'list' or double click on 'comment' on the bottom bar and it should disappear. I noticed that change today.
What is it about writing that you enjoy? Find something similar that you can do in a different field as a 'backup'. Personally, I like having a stable full-time job with health benefits and a regular income; that allows me to relax and focus on writing, instead of stressing out about bills and how…
Agree with basically everything. Nice summary. Also, love Millennium haha. Deo deserves that long comment and so many more!
I noticed the same thing. I was about to post some screenshots too. Overall, love the changes, just find the two scrollbars odd, especially since once one disappears it shifts the entire screen contents. (For reference, I am on Firefox, Windows 10)
Okay, excellent! I'd love to join if you'll have me 
Chatting beforehand would be good. I have discord as well so I can add you on there. I write a novel so I'd probably just create an episode linking to your episode so my readers can go see the q&a
I'm panromantic asexual and all I write is pretty much queer romantic short stories. I'd be interested in joining, if I could get a bit more info? Is it a 'live' q&a or just responding to written questions from your readers and you upload the answers in a new episode? If it's live, will the q&a…
I love going to a club and dancing all night! When it's packed people do little more sway and grind on each other, it just looks and feels sexy bc you're drunk lmao. But! When there's more space (so earlier in the evening and everyone isn't totally wasted yet), people can really let go and dan…
That's very cool! What a neat idea. I love AR stuff. Good job and congrats on the perfect score! [:tapa_pop:]
Here's my hierarchy after writing for 20 years.
Write often. Preferably everyday, even if it's just a hundred words. If you have only enough time to do one thing in the day to work towards your goals, write
Done is better than perfect. Editing can always happen later. It's much more satisfying …
You have some 10,700 subscribers who do like it though! Although I know close friend's opinions can matter a lot more than stranger's. I've showed my work to close friends/family and sometimes get similar reactions. When someone I love doesn't like what I write, I comfort myself that 69 other peo…
These colors are beautiful Mari!! You have such a way with color and blending. (loved looking at your children's book as you posted it btw). Well it's not like you gave Mari exact measurements lol. This ain't a commission friendo, say thanks and move on...
Yay! These changes look great. Thanks to the Tapas dev team to being open to feedback, and being willing to make changes so that both Tapas team and artists/readers are happy. I'm very excited to see the return of banners, tags, and more visible support/subscribe buttons. Comments off to the side…
Yay! I'll be excited to follow along then Best of luck!
Agreed! My feelings exactly. I totally understand if the creator's time or interest dries up. I'm not bothered by it, unless, like you said, it happens all the time. Then I don't want to invest my time or money into reading anything new by them. I was following one creator for a few years, but …
Not a problem. Reporting back on your original question: I read episode 1 first, then watched the series, then finished the rest of the webcomic. I think they both work fine as stand alones. It's not like one has vital info the other doesn't, you've built up the world and characters equally well …
Wow, I just finished watching that! I loved it. The dialog is superb. Love the story not only about the shadow, but the commentary about online engagement as well. Editing to add that I just read the first episode of the comic. If you're intending it be standalone, why does the author's comment sa…
That would be interesting to see!
