I'm a playwright, stage actor and director. I also bartend on the side, write comic books, create games, and am working on an interactive horror novel. If you wanna know more about any of the above, send me a message! I love to get to know new people.
Atonement is my first comic book. So, I'm very open to advice on how to better build a great fanbase, and better tell my story through the comic medium.

We're proud to announce the 2017 StArt Faire Excellence in Webcomics Award Winners! We received an incredible number of submissions this year! After reviewing hundreds of fantastic webcomics, our judging panel has settled on its short list of winners for the 2017 Excellence in Webcomics Awards. Y…
Happy Halloween! Final day to submit your webcomic to the EIWs this year! It takes less time than ordering a pumpkin spice latte.

And let me know if you have any questions at all.
I'm glad that Tapas fixed the Terms of Service issue by removing the clause. I'm also glad to hear them suggest that they'll be hiring extra support to help promote new and lesser known comics -- and will be even happier when they follow through. The community here has been needing and asking for th…
Why would Tapas have inserted the Right of First Refusal clause into the Terms of Service, rather than reached out to creators that it was interested in making an offer to, or offer advice to? For a lot of folks who have raised their voices on this issue, it's the inability to reconcile what y…
I care about my readers. Especially the ones who pay to read what I create or (at least) don't act entitled to my hard work. So, in that way, I guess I care about most of my readers. Please refer to above re: Entitlement. You are not entitled to enjoy the hard work of others for free. However,…
Nothing against Yoon, but ... First Right of Refusal is well understood. It's not some ambiguous concept. It's also not a phrase that you use accidentally -- it has artist value, financial value. It's also not something that ever belongs in a website's Terms of Service -- and that's the reason t…
You don't help people by retrofitting your Terms of Service to take away their First Right of Refusal (something that other companies pay to have). Nobody does that. This reply isn't to bait you (I'm not a troll) -- but I think it's important that folks who are trying to make sense of this sit…
I feel pretty calm. I'll just repeat: First Right of Refusal has no place in a website's Terms of Service, full-stop. There's really no defense for it.
Ah, but what makes a man or woman small? Is it the amount of money they make? Or perhaps the number of friends that they have? Or else, maybe it is the number of people who look at what they are doing? Or, perhaps, it's when they see other people with stories to tell and creative goals as number…
First Right of Refusal does not belong in a website's Terms of Service, full-stop. First Right of Refusal being retroactively applied without signed consent is not the sort of thing that creators should accept as ethical behavior. It's just not normal or appropriate behavior. I'm interested in t…
There are a lot of different types of rewards you can do. For me, I have a specific day of the week where I typically do all of my Patreon posting and rewards. It's Tuesday, which happens to be the same day I generally update my webcomic on other sites too. I haven't switched to charging patrons i…
I think editors are worth it, particularly if you have the money or can work out a trade. As an editor, I personally love helping people realize the best version of their story. I enjoy the collaborative process and contributing to someone's success. As a writer, I've been pushed by editors and foun…
It's time. The BEST IN and PEOPLE'S CHOICE Awards will be announced live during #ComicBookHour tomorrow on Twitter. There's also a pre-awards podcast hosted by myself and Derik Diaz at 11:45am, where we'll be giving shout outs to a TON of webcomics. Tune in, and tell your friends to tune in too! H…

About Robohole! What I Dig: The big three for me -- your paneling, your coloring, your wit. The comic dialogue is fast-paced, sharp and funny. It knows its target audience, and like a good sit-com, it doesn't let up on the banter. The paneling is smart, effective and really helps to keep things mo…
I joined the StArt Faire staff earlier this year, and it's been a joy working with them. They're very devoted to the webcomic community, and just great people. I've submitted ads, mirrored comics, written articles -- and it's a great experience. If you're looking to connect with great people and col…
@shazzbaa gives some great advice. Beyond cliff-hangers and suspense, there's another sort of golden rule of webcomic pacing to think about too (and maybe you already do!) Unless you're updating very frequently (every day, every few days), it's a good idea when it makes sense and isn't jarring to …
Horror is a very diverse genre, and I really dig a lot about it! I enjoy camp as much as I dig something more metaphorical. I think the cool thing about horror is that it's an expression of our subconscious, our anxieties on a personal level and a sociological level -- the best horror speaks to the …
I've been very impressed with their inclusiveness, thoughtfulness and community forums, and there's a number of just fantastic series on Spiderforest.
I'd love to connect with any other creators and readers. I do follow back! www.twitter.com/Donathin_Frye
Does anyone else miss the old "leave a comment, get a comment on a new page" thread? I do! I felt like it was more engaging. For instance, I love the textured bordering and the pacing of the paneling in the above page of Demon! Those extreme close ups are a really thoughtful touch. As for me, we j…
Yeah, that's absolutely not what I'm doing. Edited above to be super clear for you.
Edited for specification: I don't think it's good to compare the topic here (the idea of asexuality as a spectrum) to someone believing they are a dragon. My understanding is that asexuality is fairly common, and believing one's self to be a dragon (and not a human) could be actually dangerous and…
After reading this thread, curious myself (since it deals with a subject that I'm just not very familiar with), I just want to say this, in regards to self-identification: Every person has the right to identify in whichever way they want. We create words to serve our needs, not the other way aroun…
