Thank you so much. You and @saracuervo are just so sweet. I'm very glad I could help. Keep up the good work! 
Hi there, I finished reading the comic so let's go.
I love the first few panels. I like how we start in the middle of the action and only then go back to the introduction of the characters. This is a much better way to hook the reader and naturally introduce us to the conflict. I quite like it. …
Hmmm. Interesting question. Well, for one, I got involved in writing groups a lot more, learned how to receive feedback and improve on it as well as give constructive feedback. Secondly, this year was the first year I ever felt confident enough to submit to literary magaznes and even contests. I am …
Damn... I think you just described exactly what is happening to me sometimes creatively. But you're right, every time I try something new I feel that sensation of 'I'll never do anything as good as my previous project' takes a backseat to the excitement of working on something new. <3
Sorry to hear that, mate.
We're usually our own harshest critics...
Hi there. I went through that chapter, so here we go. Once again, it's only chapter 13 I will give feedback on, as that's what I read. First thing I noticed were the rich descriptions about the places and characters. I love them, they really help me visualize the world and at no point did I feel …
Nonsense. Your comic is enjoyable to read. <3 I know the feeling, but you gotta believe in yourself.
Yeah, obviously. It's just a feeling that no matter how much you try to improve, you won't get any better. Does that make sense haha?
Hi, y'all. I was wondering if any other writers or artists have felt as if they have already finished their best work and they won't be able to reach the same level of quality. I can tell you I've had that feeling multiple times haha. Especially when taking breaks from writing. Ever felt after…
Hi there, I went through the comic so less go.
I have to start with the gorgeous, absolutely stunning opening panels. Those are some of the best visuals I've ever seen not only in a comic, but in... Practically everything I've seen in my life haha. They set the tone so well, we get immersed in th…
Hi there. I went through your comic, so here we go.
The exposition is actually good and places the characters, the location and the conflict which is going back to school. I like the fact you have two brothers, because you can take this relationship in so many directions and use their interactio…
No problem at all! And yes, definitely, knock yourselves out.
That's a really interesting question. I'd guess that if you are unsure when things fell into place, to say so, you still haven't figured it out haha I am still figuring out stuff, but I'd say things definitely got more coherent and clear when I started writing short stories. I was always more of a…
Hi there, I finished reading your comic so less go.
The beginning is really good as you quickly establish who's the main character, what's the situation and put in place the first conflict which is Valentina waiting for her friend to return. I like you have a larger cast, which means you have a …
Hi there, finished reading now.
I have to say I quite like the idea (and I'm not even a big fantasy fan). The first few episodes get your attention quickly and I caught myself being impatient with my own slow scrolling. I love the relationship between James and Tim, it's well built and we can cl…
Thanks, glad to hear you think that. It's not much, really.
No worries at all, it was so so enjoyable to read your comic. Glad I could help and really... I would not expect you to go back and make changes as that can be very hard haha
It's just points to ponder on. Keep up the good work!
Hi there. I checked it out and you're right, it's not much. But I do think the introduction has a great hook. I was instantly curious as to why this lady wants to free a prisoner and especially someone accused of manslaughter. And what is the story behind that charge? Also, I personally love this st…
Hi there. I finished reading your comic, so less go.
The introduction is really good. We learn a lot about this world and the characters from the first few pages and nothing is too 'exposition-y'. I particularly like the bit where Nora wakes up because of her brother and her interaction with her…
Hi there. I had a look and I have to say this is really entertaining. Now, as I mentioned, I'm not an artist so I won't be able to give feedback on style or stuff like that. but from a writing perspective, here we go. First thing I have to mention: what a clever, well-designed introduction. Withi…
Hi there.
I love giving feedback and it's a great way to check out other people's work. If ya need someone to look over your work, post a link in here with the type of critique you'd like to receive.
A few details: I can give very technical feedback when I see fit. That means I will correct t…
Thanks a lot, @minerrale @ChristodeBoyet @sararosebr @Peni Your words gave me that push to actually start a series. Y'all are quality writers from what I checked out so far and I'm glad to see there are other short story writers around here haha
As for collabs, @minerrale ehhhh anything goes.…
Hi there. Thanks for submitting this for feedback. I read your work and... Here we go.
I am very technical with my feedback, so I will firstly do corrections on the text then go into more detail. Less go.
'singing with all the love we have for music' - replace 'have' with 'had' so you keep th…
This. Please, we need more genres and the option to choose more than one. It's not only comics, it's novels as well. Most of the times, it will be hard to put a novel only in one genre. Not being able to let the readers know what exactly is your creation about does everyone a disservice. The reader …
Hi, thanks for sharing your work with me, I'll certainly check it out! And I do have LGBTQ+ themed stories - it's just that I don't like making that the center of attention haha To be fair, I'm not looking to be 'famous' or something like that. I just want to push myself out of the comfort zone and…
Hi, everyone. I'm new here and I'm enjoying this place a lot. I think it has some fantastic creators. I dwepved into this just a tad, but I couldn't find anything about short story publishing on this platform. Obviously, you have the novels and you have short story comics, but not much on short s…
Hi there. I'd love to collaborate with you. I am new to Tapas, but I have 8+ years of writing experience. I mostly write short stories, but have worked on other projects as well, including collaborations. I can get you a few short stories to read. Email me at: claudiaspiridon133@gmail.com or add me …
