Kings of Sorts: Episodes 1-4 Omnibus kickstarter launches TOMORROW!! here is a little summary of the items you can receive <3
please note the limited items! if you want them, I would suggest being notified on launch, which can be done on the [pre-launch page]
LIVE NOW!
just one week left and we are SOO SO SO SO close to $4k!!
you may be thinking that some of the reactions to the tumblr update are unfounded or panicky. but i meant what i said: this will fucking destroy any artist on this site.
for your reference, i tracked down one of my original posts; which had a notes section that looked like this:
and here is what it looks like now:
holy shit. by my math, that is not even two percent of the amount of aggregate notes my writing actually has. i am not able to see any of the literal hundreds of replies, comments, or tags.
maybe this is a bit presumptuous but i consider myself to be fairly popular on this site. i still remember the first time a large blog "picked up" my work - how quickly all of a sudden i was getting seen. notes on my poetry jumped from like 10 to 300 to 3k. overnight. that was the magic of tumblr, and the incredible writing community i found here.
but now if i answer any of my fellow writers, if i say please go check this out or even if i add additional context to my own work - the artist is removed completely from their own content.
do you want to reply to an "ask game"? do you want to reply to a story prompt? do you want to just make a funny joke with your friends? well, that sucks - you might be depriving them of literally 98% of their notes.
it isn't about clout chasing. it is about giving creators control over their own materials. even a silly post deserves to be connected directly with the person that thought it up.
the tumblr feedback form is currently crashed for me, but when it's up, everyone please go (politely! calmly! like you're walking in a burning building!) tell them what you think. in the meantime: @staff @changes like... i am begging you. literally just set up a suggestion box for ideas on how to monetize tumblr, surely one of us can help you.
@staff @changes I've honestly seen people on other, newer social media sites straight up leave because they did not feel their posts were getting any traction. This may disrupt the charm and unique sociability of this community beyond repair. If you want this site to grow, (or even just not suddenly decline) do not mess with how posts and reblogs work. It's one of, if not THE reason why so many people still use and enjoy tumblr.
The Cartoonist Co-op is proud to announce the Anti-Censorship Comix Anthology!!
This is a collection of protest comics in the face of ongoing censorship against erotica, horror, and transgressive art. Available Feb 25th. Viewer discretion is advised.

Hey, I'm still alive! Still fighting the good fight by taking a crack at this while life keeps kicking my butt. How'd I do?
Our largest local thrift/charity store just sent a ton of unsold books, VHS, and DVDs to the dump. This was stuff that was literally collecting dust it had been sitting for so long.
Reminder to get physical copies of media you cherish before it can only be found via subscription services! And for those times where internet/data are too expensive to bear, have physical copies!

Creator: Jordan Witt (@52nddoor) Genres: Action, Comedy, Horror After an encounter with a mysterious stranger, Ian Cooper discovers he's able to see ghosts. The friendly dog spirit that follows him around isn't so bad, but when other slightly more menacing spirits start to show up, Ian realizes he might be in over his head. But how is he supposed to find help when no one else can see what he can?

MONSTERS & MYRIADS - (monstersandmyriads.com/read)
Creators: JustBreathe, Morgh Genres: Comedy, Mystery, Urban Fantasy Monsters and Myriads is a midwestern exploration into the spooky fantastic that haunts closed arcades, moon-frosted cornfields, and shadowed school hallways.

THE BRIGHT SIDE - MY LIFE AND DEATH (thebrightsidecomic.com)
Creator: Ira A Francis (@frankenfossil) Genres: Slice of Life, Urban Fantasy An existential story about friendship and philosophy. Emily is a prickly and reclusive teenage girl. After a couple of random tragedies, she befriends Death - who turns out to be naive, neurotic, and completely endearing.

Over the years, they expand each others' worlds and forge a friendship that will ultimately test every limit they have.
TRUE COLORS (trueniverse.com/truecolors)

Their dorm's R.A. is eager to help whether they like it or not. At least there's free pizza!

Lauren Ipsum is a professional librarian, part-time writer, and an intellectual culture enthusiast (nerd). Join this looney rabbit and her friends running the esteemed St. Paws Library!
People don't like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn't be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they're basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.
Like it's just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like "we're using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can" and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.
Actually, I realized my real point here: we all need to make our art weirder. Please make weird art. I want more stuff like Prequel Adventure and 17776 and MyHouse.wad and I want it now. Capitalism thrives on conformity. We must be weird at all costs.
it's depressing to see people eulogizing webcomics in the notes because amazing and cool and weird webcomics still exist on the internet, you just have to Visit Web Sites and i don't have any sources to cite to back myself up here but i feel that younger folks experiencing The Internet through phones & tablets rather than PCs forces them to live on apps, like webtoon, so that's where they're going to go to read webcomics
as webcomic creators, we kind of have to go where the audience is. god i know a lot of comic folks right now with amazing comics on websites starting to mirror their comics to webtoon/tapas because audiences *expect* you to be there anyway. stop saying webcomics are dead. go to websites & look at them. thank u
But *where do I find them* you ask? I've got some neat answers for you. ->Comic Fury Is a great place to find webcomics(and host your comic there with a lot of custom options) ->Spider Forest is a collective of webcomics- which means members were accepted to be in a group that support each other! They've been around since 2003, how cool! -> Hiveworks comics are curated comics who were accepted into their collection as well. The hub links to many cool and unique webcomics -> Topwebcomics is a place to find comics to read and vote for your faves -> The Webcomic Library is a place dedicated to tagging webcomics, so you can browse and select a comic that suits your fancy with the organisation all done for ya! -> Comic Rocket is a good tool to use if you'd like to bookmark your readthrough and search for new comics to read as well (feel free to add to the list for more webcomic places too!) There are SO MANY incredible webcomics out there and I would LOVE for folks to explore the net and find them again. This is the best way to keep ideas unique, weird, and most of all, loved. So go check out some comics!
SpiderForest is open for applications again!
