Once again, I am opening up Promotions for the Dark Genres! I absolutely love darker stories so show me your work! People who are looking to read dark stories may refer to this thread. Let's make a collective! Genre preferably Supernatural and Horror. Secondary genre could be anything, from Comedy…
Hm.. sometimes you are typing your reply and don't mean to send the reply at the same time as somebody else though. It's hard to time these things. Nevertheless, I just updated my comic's cover and very happy with how it turned out. Here it is! [image]

I've done my fair share of Interactive Stories through Visual Novels and they are definitely very popular. IF (Interactive Fiction) has its own community. Majority of IF authors use Twine or ChoiceScript. I don't know if Tapas is the right platform for it though. You essentially have to build an Int…
I've opened this question on a few webcomic discords and a few answers I've gotten are: Have people feel drawn to them Well-dressed Articulate Playful, easy-going Confident Is it enough to "show" them as attractive and charming? For example, show extras talk about how good-looking or striking t…
Updated it just now! Finally something is happening in my comic lol! Damn.. I dunno how to make that box thingie appear.
My opinion is that nothing is "too" insular when it comes to stories. If you like it, chances are somebody out there will like it too. We're humans after all. We're pattern-finding creatures. Even if the very goal of the work is to shock or surprise, somebody will STILL like that. It's not our job…
Just found these people recently! They do podcasts about webcomics!
@darthmongoose I agree. It's a shame that the forum isn't hip anymore. I also like the long post format. There's more thought, care and attention to each post. I think it's easy to get lost in a sea of strangers in Discord. That said, it does have its uses. I think events might be better handled …
So which one do you guys prefer? I've joined a couple of Webcomic discords but I find it a little hard to jump in. Sometimes I end up not interacting at all. It's only interacting here in Tapas did I realize I actually like this format better. Maybe it's better for my brain when the topics are ar…
Thanks everyone for the nice recos! I'll get to you guys one by one ;3 Edit: I will give more preference to the comics though, since I draw as well 
@Chiaroscuro Yep! link webtoons or tapas! I don't mind the webhost
Hello! My name is Ame and I'm new to Tapas! I would like to find common creators who make stories with the elements I like! There's just not enough Dark Fantasy out there in my opinion, and I'm craving for some really good ones! If your story has 2 or more of these elements that float my boat, I w…
It seems that there are a number of us that have the same worries! I'll tell you my current decision, in case it helps anyone else struggling with this. I decided to make my main genre "Drama" instead, LGBTQ+ second, and Romance third. I also added an lgbtq tag, a romance tag and a mythology tag. …
The platform might not be inclined to change things. As mentioned above, Youtube, Webtoons, Deviantart all follow the same format. One way I can see this improving is to encourage a small chunk of the community be commentators/reviewers. That is, their content is focused on reviewing new comics. N…
You have a super good point!! I think I'm just a little nervous cos I'm new to this. I really don't want to mislead or offend anyone, but there will always be talk no matter what. Thank you so much for the encouragement!
Yeah, I feel the same way. I don't want to mislead anyone, as if I'm advertising Lgbt content when it's not the main focus... Sigh. I wish it wasn't a big deal. Some characters are just queer, why is that a problem? Why are we so worried people will complain? But then, it goes the same way, I am a…
Thanks everyone for the replies! Your insights were super valuable. I think I will add the LGBTQ+ tag and consider putting it as a second genre, just cos I remembered I have a handful of asexual characters whose gender identity will affect the story. The second reason is the "Romance" tag. If we…
Hello everyone! I'm new to Tapas! I just started my comic a week ago, and my main character is pansexual. I thought about using the LGBTQ+ tag, but I wasn't sure if it's appropriate, since the story doesn't focus too much on his gender identity. He just happens to bang everyone that's all lol. Bu…
