what motivates you to leave comments on webcomics? If something happened in the comic that gave me strong feelings that have not been expressed in other comments, if I'm reading the other comments and have a reply, if a cringy joke is stuck in my head 
why do you hesitate and do not leave a comment? …
That really sucks, I was one of the rare author here to use this option alot. I built my comic around the integration of music in mind... I feel like my comic has been muted. Hope there will be a replacement, really >< !
[image] Thank you to every one of my readers, and to the Staff for giving Ghost Reaper a chance! I have to admit that I'm pretty surprised, given the dark and mature subject matter the stories deal with. But if that's what people like, then I'm going to keep going for it! [image]
Me too. I don't use in all my episodes, but some are better with music in it.
@thedude3445 yes and sorry for not doing this with my first post. I have an instagram account but there is only old stuff on it and nothing which is in the style how I´m planning to draw the comic, that´s why I´m doing sketches right now. I will attach a sketch showing 2 of the main characters and …

If it's a fade-to-black sort of situation it could work, easily. Or, if instead of being written, it's referenced as a past event (even if it has a few details). I don't know why, but it seems like the vast majority of people are much more forgiving or dismissive of things that have happened in t…
Hello! So I came from smackjeeves, and I started using tapas as a mirror site with my main elsewhere. Anyway, when I first popped on here, I didn't really understand the whole "episode" structure since I like having my comic in graphic novel chapters. So at first I just kinda, threw as many page…
very interesting, thanks for the advice! 
Is it?? I know using bots to drive up any of your numbers is against the rules (or at least I read that somewhere, I should probably find the actual rules lol), but clearly sub for sub is allowed, so... shrug
We can't prove or disprove if it messes with the algorithm, but the problems with sub-for-sub are: It's just ignoring the issues that are causing people to not read your series. If you're advertising your series around and about and not picking up any readers at all, like nobody at all sees your …
This is such a shame, because your work is of good quality, but there are definitely a few things I can notice immediately which will drive down growth and engagement. Tapas Posting individual pages. There's hardly anything to comment on when you post individual pages. Instead, I'd recommend wa…
yes! All the time!! HOWEVER there is way to use refs but not to the T, my method is to trace the general gesture / mimick the gesture, use the ref to check if i did it right or not, and use it for fabric folds and the like. You have to learn that good in between. At first it's hard to process, …
It's unsubbing, as far as I can tell. [:sweat_02:] I do keep track of my sub count and subscribers over 3 series whenever my numbers dip, I can always attribute it to a particular person unsubbing. I don't think you should take it as a sign that your work is bad though! Everyone faces the same prob…
So, you mean it's a series with multiple books, with only the first one or first part completed? In that case, I do believe it's fine to pitch. I'm not sure if the submission says 80k min to pitch, or to publish. Usually they want the novel to be completed, or mostly complete before pitching. But I'…
This right here makes me think "wait isn't Totally Spies from cartoon network about queer spies?" XD I haven't even heard of this show... Now I want to look up clips. It sounds like it's likely made for consumption and punchline jokes, and less about any kind of substance, which is the story of…
Some people may be interested in platforms that offer different audiences/content than the more popular ones, and some people seem to search for more platforms to have a presence on so they can use it if they want to. This is a pretty definitive statement. Do you have definitive proof of…
Which is utterly foolish of them, as those terms and conditions, if dodgy, can restrict what your control over your own IP. If you're posting your IP on a site, you should always go over the terms and conditions of that site. Again, there was a massive controversy on Tapas regarding the 'Right of …
Here are a few platforms to post content (novels/comics/both) on that I don't see a lot of people talking about compared to others. Any thoughts on them if you've used them? Or if you think you may want to use them whether to post your content or just for reading? And please comment any others you…

Here's the link and the description of my book! It's an LGBTQ+ slow-burn book that's based in Iran and myself. Though I don't have as much romance

Yeah I saw that when I switched to desktop mode on my phone, they might be working on that hopefully.
I see your point. I don't have a ton of mature chapters, maybe 10% of the story. I guess my best bet is to write it in a way that it somehow doesn't require the mature filter...
I've read Dante's Inferno (albeit translated into English, I've heard the translation can never truly capture the beauty of the original), and yeah, technically it is 100% a self-insert fanfic about a dude hanging out with his favourite legendary character and finding out about horrible things happe…
Some fun facts about the Divine Comedy: It contributed to the creation of Italian language. Before Dante Alighieri, there was no such a thing as an "Italian" language. Every kingdom/duchy/signoria had its own language (lingua volgare). Languages could be WILDLY different depending on the region…
Yes, but the argument being made here is that even if you cross the thresholds, your actual following will consist of people who (very likely) had no interest in your work and simply cooperated for your numbers to go up. As a result, once you have unlocked donations and such, most people would be in…
Thanks for the ping, @Lahin! I've had a good experience on Neovel so far. There's no exclusivity contract or anything (Premium novels included) and there's no minimum bar you have to hit to start earning. Views translate to money, basically. That being said, don't expect to earn much because it's …
I've had my share of experiences with people like this, and honestly, I stop even talking about my novel or work with them. They don't give me the time of day to ask about it - something that is largely the main focus of my free time - so why should I give them any? Honestly, I don't ask about their…

Thank you to everyone for sharing their experiences. I haven't wanted to interfere with the flow of the posts. I definitely see all the points made here, and I'm grateful for those who saw mine. It does suck but like many of you said, we can't expect anything past the obligatory support from thos…
