Thanks for the info! I've hit a wall before with the language barrier on Pixiv but Google Translate it is
This isn't a problem I've seen in the comics section, but in the novels section of Tapas and also on novel sites like Royal Road. I've witnessed numerous times people using art for their covers that aren't theirs. On Royal Road some people are so open about this that they write in the novel descri…
I've only gotten positive and supportive comments on my art and writing on the internet, which I'm very grateful is the case. The passive-aggressive comments came, however, when I said that I would stop producing free content. It felt so backwards.
Never understood this whole tree thing...is it like sending electrons through diffraction slits with and without an observer?
Isn't this high school material? Try going to a .edu website. There are also videos like these: https://youtu.be/cC8k2Sb1oQ8
Also happened to me here on the forums. Someone was offering free reviews, and was doing a decent and thorough job of it...they get to mine, skip it, and promise to come back to it 'shortly'. Never happens. Then they close the reviews down. Your case was a professional group though--and maybe they w…
I totally agree with your bolded line; in fact, it was the first thing that came to mind when I clicked on the title. I first heard it from V. E. Schwab, a very successful adult and Y.A. author, and the more I think about it, the more true it sounds. The important thing to remember is that readers a…
Congratulations, everyone! All the hard work paid off.
There was a similar case for the artist of No Game No Life. I think the big deal is that poses count as original content, whether from a photo or drawing. It's illegal to use someone else's as a reference and earn money from your work.
I plan my ending as soon as possible -- before I begin writing or in the first few chapters. If there is any kind of twist or revelation, there needs to be foreshadowing early on so readers don't feel like it was pulled out of nowhere.
I really hope this is the case. My entry is the sixth one down in the list after you tap the banner and I've only been getting less views since it went up on the front page. Unless 5 views in one day for a ten-episode novel is already a decent amount...?
I'd say give Violet Evergarden some credit. I think its superb art and animation really overshadowed the quality of the story and characters. It was animated in the first place because the original source material won first place in Kyo-Ani's novel competition, which was very rare (often times first…
Haha, same here. Oh well, there are plenty of other options to self-promote.
Update: Tapas emailed me an hour ago and sent over the reward coins. @jiemae @beta1042 Seems like emailing them will work if you guys still haven't gotten yours.
The Board Kings game is a different one from Pirate Kings. Tapas did mention to download the game directly from tapping on the special offer banner, which I made sure to do correctly. There should have been no problems receiving my reward no matter how I signed up for the game. Regardless, Tapas has…
I get "coins could not be delivered" when there are no available ads. I have been getting my coins when I watch the ads though. Apparently ad availability varies by where you live, so I guess there aren't many for Asia?
I was also hopeful that they would do something about community stuff getting squashed, then I saw this on @monotone_ink's wall (hope you don't mind me using this!) [image] This is from more than a year ago, and it sounds strikingly familiar to what we have on the app now. Even when they put up…
@jiemae Here's the help article I read (there are ones for specific offers you can look at too). They went more into detail on what to do in the Board Kings one: If you're on mobile, go to Settings on the app and scroll down. Near the bottom there should be a 'Give us Feedback'. You can send …
Yikes D: Have you emailed Tapas about it?
Has anyone else not received their 'Free Coins' special offers rewards? I completed the Board Kings one on mobile nearly a week ago and still haven't gotten my coins even though they're supposed to be delivered at most 24 hours after completion. I did email Tapas about this (after trying all of the …
I've seen some popular or famous authors use it many times in a row. You can always replace a dialogue tag with an action, and sometimes you don't even need the tag if there's enough context. I think you can use more in a row if there are non-dialogue sentences in between to freshen things up. That …
I like writing escapist characters as well (no scapegoat villains here). I also like my stories to have escapist elements, but all of the low points seem to be lower than the high points are high...I think so far the happiest scene has been grocery shopping. However, I'm still at that mental age wh…
I feel like this comic speaks to people on a spiritual level.
The crawl up for novels here seems to be very, very slow. My story is a high fantasy with magical creatures, and I'll be exploring (eventually) problems associated with 'chosen one' plots involving young protagonists.
I don't think there's such thing as "good" tone, only appropriate tone. Tone comes from voice, which is created by style from skillful control of your writing. This means deliberately choosing your diction, syntax and sentence lengths while knowing the effect of each choice. Sometimes the tense of y…
Totally agree with you on getting some recognition for non-premium writers. I got the app a few days ago and I'm feeling quite iffy about the way all of the community content is buried after loads of premium stuff to a link at the bottom of the page. But all I've heard is that the camp will be feat…
[image] This is the cover for my story that I drew. I had to change the line color and erase the text so that it wouldn't look too messy when it got sized down, though. I was an artist before I became a writer, but I've only posted novels on Tapas.
Yea, same here.
Yea...guess that was what people meant when they said the community stuff was buried. D:
It really sucks to hear that there's no Fresh tab on the app. A lot of us rely on it. As for the numbers, I'm afraid I don't know the ratio. Maybe someone else will be able to answer your question?
