Thank you so much!!! Your feedback was great, thank you! And ooo yes please to more feedback if you feel like it! It's so helpful! I got so excited in this reply, so many exclamation points :laughing: But, yes please to all the feedback (if you want/have time)

You're so sweet to offer this! I had a quick look at yours, and dannngg it's really good. Mine isn't as hooky or well written but I'd love any feedback, if it catches your interest It's a fantasy / BL wip

hi! Welcome!! That art is stunning, I'm definitely going to have a look!

Hi! Welcome!!! I just started reading your Bound by Shadow and it's so good! Excited to read more, and you're so sweet to offer feedback I've got a fantasy wip that's kinda light fantasy / BL Only if it catches your fancy, you've probably got a lot of reading to do lol! Happy for any feedback…

Finished binging Lucifer (it's a series, but it counts, right?) and now I'm part way through To All The Boys I Loved Before - P.S. I Still Love you, because I've got to me some more Noah Centineo

Some Sunday afternoon listening - Demons by Alec Benjamin Aaand are we posting podcasts? Binge listening to S-Town. Finally

Ooo love these! Character surveys are the best procrastination - like, you're still working :joy:

A lot of the writers I follow post heaps of writing memes and writing quotes, and photos of their laptops, pets, and books they're reading. Almost kinda like lifestyle stuff, but writing and reading themed. A lot of them do book reviews and discussions in their insta stories, and progress updates.…

I always love bonus episodes of the comics I follow! A Valentine's episode will be cute :blush:

Totally understand what you're saying - it annoys me too, when someone assumes you're jealous for expressing a critical or different opinion. We can get really defensive over the things we love, sometimes, and I guess a critical (or different) opinion on something someone loves can be taken person…

Hi, welcome! Totally relate to getting nervous, I used to, too :grin: I hope 2020 brings you lots of luck!

No worries! It's good, you've got something there :grin: And don't worry about the small number of views - the audience for novels on tapas is still quite small. Give it time, and it'll start building

Hi, welcome :grin: Love colour! Hmm, semi-realistic if I had to choose Fantasy, baby! Both, I can't decide between haha I'm eating chocolate right now, I have a problem I like the agony of an incomplete

Hey, I just read through your first chapter, and I love your voice - it's good! If you wanted, you could do a minor clean up. There's some repetition of unnecessary words, such as 'Looking up I saw a couple of teenagers wearing thick coats and wearing beanies entering the gas station.' You could…

Photoshop was something I had to be using every day, otherwise everything I'd learned went out the window. I only use it for little edits now. I use procreate, and it works great (and so much more affordable)

I do this, too - I'll reuse names all the time. Usually they're names I've made up and have gotten attached to lmao, but I rarely show my stories, so this issue is for my eyes only. I get weird about how many syllables are in a name, because I don't want all my characters in one scene to have two-…

Conn hurled a handful of cherries at me, and they pinged off, flying in every direction.

Run on sentences. I'm the worst with those. Writing action scenes is a struggle, too. My writing gets really monotonous during action. Aaaand some ol' inconsistency with my style. I'm really easily influenced; I'll pick up whatever style from the book I'm reading at that moment. I always have to go …

I've got a couple on the go My main one is The Lion and The Spy. It's a fantasy / BL thing. Basically, the main character hooks up with a hot stranger on the last night of a forced holiday. The next day, he goes to work, and the stranger is there. Turns out the stranger is a famous mage, from sorce…

I like both, but if I had to choose I like the first. Great page!!

I'm so glad I've found ya'll :smile:

I was a weird, quiet student, too. It always said that on the report card lol. Quiet, conscientious, not involved enough. Most of my teachers were amazing - had a couple of less pleasant / horrible ones - but I remember one in particular answering all my weird questions without batting an eye. I t…

omg yesss! :sweat_smile: Same! It's hard, isn't it? Your network super conservative? A lot of mine are lol. It feels like this weird (and lame) secret :joy: Though, I think some of them would be OK, some of fam and friends really wouldn't, and once you tell one, you've got to tell everyone. And I don't want it to be …

I'm hungry now. Thanks. Sandwiches = my favourite thing in this world Seeing a few BLT fans - I'm one too :grin: I love to add an egg in there, omggg so good. Or a club sandwich, with steak and beetroot and the lot

I'd love to join too, if there's still space in the second group? I'm active on instagram a couple times a day - and I'd love to check out everyone's work. My account's super small. I started from scratch a few months ago, not telling any friends or family I've been writing and drawing - and grow…

I can't think of when I've had someone be envious of my writing or drawing. If they have, they've been quiet about it :laughing: People would come to me for help sometimes, but there's been no jealousy I could see. I'm usually on the other side. It's hard not to get jealous, when you see amazing work. My…

forgot to say I'm writing an illustrated novel, if you want to check it out, I'm such a dork :joy:

That sounds amazing, I love illustrated novels! I'd absolutely read it :grin: I love the combination of the two mediums, and I'd be interested to see what you do with it. It's so fun to play with different types of format and I think tapas is a great place to try out different things with your art

I feel like I'll overlook heaps of things that would normally bother me, if the story and storytelling is good - so, like the writing is the most important, I guess? for me, at least. That's the hardest part for me, personally, too, so whenever i see someone nailing writing or storytelling in a comi…

hi, I'm Z :slight_smile: I'm a little nervous, you guys get nervous? I'm new to posting my work, but everyone here seems so chill and nice, so i thought tapas would be a good place to do this I'm working on a novel at the moment, it's BL / fantasy - super dorky and corny and full of espionage and my favourite…
