Hello and Happy Pride month! 
️
My "Ive Met Someone" comic is a genre mix of Comedy, romance, GL and Slice-of-life It's been running for 3 years and the current arc is a choose-your-own-adventure style story. Check it out here: https://tapas.io/series/Ive-Met-Someone/info
I'm very excited for this as a creator but especially as a reader, it was hard to find new GL comics (which is a category that gets over shadowed by others in lgbtq+ sections IMO) Sifting through the search tags was time consuming so I gave up on that for a while. This is a welcome change! 
Ive always wanted to try this out. I post my comic on instagram currently:
I used to create visual novels/date sims before getting into comics and I had this game I was making where a girl was the protagonist and she dates 3 to 4 guys. I was really into writing it but also deeply conflicted with impostor syndrome. I ended up developing a female rival for the protagonist an…
1k views* after first week. I keep imagining if you post multiple days you capture even more new people every time.
I started uploading my comic to both platforms at the same time (and also instagram but on a delay). I noticed WebToon's discover section gets a decent amount of traffic. If you update multiple times a week you can easily build up an audience of 1k in a week (depends on genre a bit). After about 10…
Did playstation pull out this year? I always look forward to them the most, I wonder if they are doing their own conference separate like nintendo does now?
I love reading GL, thanks to this thread I found some new reads ^_^ Gonna shamelessly plug my GL slice of life comic too:
No one: Me: I think women r pretty, pls date me women?
Does Tapas ever feature the LGBTQ tag? I remember seeing something on the front page a while back (a curated list though). Would be nice for Pride month or something that the GL tag gets a featured spot on front page. Perhaps that could help gauge a bit more interest.
I wish it were so, I would read everything in that list! I think the supply is there, hoping someday the demand will be too.
I kind of like the relatable comics genre, I do something similar with my work.I noticed this shift in animation also, when on youtube suddenly those relatable story animatics took off. I started watching those and it inspired me to tell my own stories again after a 5 year hiatus from comics.
Im about 60/40 on the Writing/Art. I have so many graphic novel story ideas that I never get to because I don't have the commitment for drawing it lol. I think that comes across in my work too because the comics I do make are more like illustrated novels. I also do coding, so maybe making a visual …
My first anime was Sailor Moon. It would come on everyday at 12pm one summer and I devoured it, had no idea what "anime" was at the time. Then I started watching pokemon every morning before going to school. Then after discovering Cowboy Bebop the flood gates were open, I started watching anything I…
it kind of feels like a layout/design choice to fill empty space. Sometimes I see it as a 'fade in' effect that would occur if it were animated.
I went to college for art and my take away is the best thing I gained was contacts.Some of the professors and students/friends I went to school with helped me get recommendations and my first full-time job in design. The connections you make in college can be the best part honestly. Nothing beats fa…
whenever brands/restaurants/merch stores follow me, I assume its a bot doing the work for them. The follow/unfollow thing is a technique people use to build followers. I think organic methods work best, getting to the featured page can skyrocket your account to thousands within days, but making it i…
Ive always struggled with Instagram. I used to have an art account back in 2013 and got freelance gigs by posting on there but I didnt utilize it well enough for growth (didnt use hashtags etc). I started over fresh recently and its even harder now that there's an algorithm that shortens a post's vi…
I joined Wattpad back in 2015 and mostly consumed stories. It was great back then, a nice variety of stuff would surface easily, very good writers too! I still go back and read some of the old fics I discovered back then. I started posting my first fic about a year ago on there and built a small aud…
I started in March, its been a slow burn ^^; My comic is a GL diary style story (based on a few true events in my life).
True, I know there a major countries (such as China) that block Google, Youtube, Facebook and Twitter - which are hubs for whats going on culturally in the West.
IMO hardly anyone since 201X (with access to the internet) can hide behind the "They didn't know any better" excuse. I just assume Racism is Racism, regardless if it is intentional or careless. It takes maybe 2 seconds to find out if something is considered offensive to an entire race of people than…
Recently started my first comic on Tapas so I made my "Thanks for Subbing" graphic today. [image]
