Here's a good writer's tip. Just write down whatever the invisible greco-thracian ghost babes tell you to write. Humans are empty vessels.

anti-magic posted:Well there are no good webcomics so this is the tedious thread. Lookout. This guy thinks he is better than comics on the Internet. Thanks for your cool post dude. Maybe you can enjoy some giant media conglomerate approved entertainment. I heard of this cool thing called "Star Wars" might be up your alley, friend.

A.o.D. posted:What do people do, exactly, when they go on hiatus for 3 months around December? Social, Family, and Work Obligations are sort of through the roof around that time of year... so it can be pretty tough to keep up with all of that if you're a single human being putting out work, instead of like, an entire business or something, with the ability to spread out workloads, etc. That's my serious answer.

I do kinda wish people could do a read-through 'book club' style chat of comics instead of just randomly posting whatevers... but I realize that might be a huge ask. I think it'd be a cool idea though.

paradoxGentleman posted:There is talk of how she's not a "friend of Narnia" anymore. I don't think it's out of place to criticize Lewis on this one. I thought the whole point was that Narnia was just some British WW2 children playing pretend, and she grew up and stop wanting to play pretend? but I guess fundamentalists of a certain age like quoting Lewis or whatever.

Hogge Wild posted:yeah, it's a bit silly to mix those too I will kill you with your own katana for this post, hog wilde. That's right, the katana your mother never wanted you to have... But seriously, the fact that SSSS is basically a daily with that quality of art is beyond impressive.

Hogge Wild posted:if webcomic writers were actually talented they wouldn't be writing webcomics mate if you had talent you wouldn't be posting. but seriously.. c'mon dude why do you even post this? what should web comic creators be doing instead? making print comics? like what is your metric for talent? How much money a person makes? Those marvel movies are the pinnacle of human creativity. It's ok to enjoy things, like yeah there is some crap out there, but like why don't you take some stock in what you are doing with yourself. it's ok to admit there are some pretty neat comics out there, but beyond that earnestly trying to create a comic is pretty hard and puts you in a very vulnerable position. do you need a hug? or have you had bad friends your whole life? come with me SA poster Hog Wilde... and find a thing to enjoy on the Internet

Homestuck fans aren't some kind of ageless biological tube-monster community subsisting around a deep sea hydro-thermal vent. They're human beings who like all sorts of things, and one of the things they happen to like is homestuck, which they posted about on the world wide web. Many grew up, moved on, or remember it fondly and enjoyed seeing it through. I'm not a homestuck fan, and I sorta missed the boat on it, but it's kinda easy to see how people had a fun time enjoying a thing on the internet that they could relate to and they felt like it resonated with them. Sure, there's definitely a dark side to 'fan communities', but it's even more frightening to remember they are probably mostly real human beings.

A Wizard of Goatse screams in horror, hard cut to black.

BravestOfTheLamps posted:Lesbians? in a webcomic? What will they think of next You know, this doesn't seem like very brave attitude, Bravest Of The Lamps. I think this is a pretty obnoxious attitude to have. The fact that even queer comics writers have to deal with "uhg lesbians", seems like a problem, and you're not really helping. Maybe fetishized portrayals of lesbians bother you, Bravest of Lamps, and it just came out wrong in your post. I hope that's what you meant, because Band vs. Band is cute as heck and actually really good. I think you should try to be a bit more thoughtful in your future posting, BravestOfTheLamps.

As someone who isn't familiar with Lamp-kun's posting career, I guess my concern is that I've seen that attitude a lot, unironically, which might be the joke..but without knowing that, it just kind of comes off as a bad thing to say, because people could read it seriously. Anyway, that's my un-requested critique on Lamp's troll. Now, what are the rates on trolling commissions?

8-Bit Scholar posted:They are not helpful to me and I do not think they are helpful in general. If anything, they seem to be suggesting to trauma victims that they should not ever be expected to be come to terms with whatever bad thing happened to them. I think most everybody will or has encountered trauma in their lives, from a car crash to violent battery, assault or the tragic loss of a loved one. Tragedy is an integral element to human drama. I think it's also more than a little disrespectful to, say, veterans of war who suffer from PTSD episodes "triggered" by things like car engines or sudden loud noises. How did we function as a society before trigger warnings? Have you ever experienced anything truly awful in your life? None of this is hurting you, at all, but you're throwing a fit because other people have been hurt and are incapable of coping with things in a way you deem okay. This doesn't seem like a very grown up attitude to me. I think it's easy to fabricate mental strawmen and get really upset at the made up (or even sometimes real) people who might be disingenuously demanding trigger warnings out of some sort of unhinged fascism, but it's neither true nor helpful. I think it's respectful to readers to let them know what they're getting into, if the creator feels it's important. Webcomics are pretty small, and can be all over the place, it's not like Game of Thrones, where people 'should know what they're getting into' at some point.

8-Bit Scholar posted:I explained the distinction--content warnings are very very vague, trigger warnings are much more specific. I've talked to a nurse friend of mine and she agrees that trigger warnings could be useful, but says that it's absolutely impossible to warn everyone about every conceivable threat to their psyche. You can't insulate everyone from everything. Welp. We can't insulate everyone from everything, so lets just pack it up. Might as well have no laws then, or anything. Glad we solved this. Thanks for your insightful input 8 Bit Scholar, this is extremely useful. I mean, I can't believe people wear clothes, and sit inside, what absolute pissbabies, am I right? Oh your mortal flesh prevents you from walking around all day nude in the elements? Cats can do it, and they can't even make satellites. Problem solved. Lets just go back to lawless murder.

OPM's original art is atrocious and it's still fun as heck. I'd argue even the writing is pretty poor. Who cares though, a funny bald dude is strong and it's a fun time. It's OK to just enjoy things, sometimes. I don't really understand why people hold webcomics to this crazy standard when you can take a glimpse at professional, paid, media that can be just as error riddled, or often worse: (TOEI animation, a lot of crummy looking Marvel/DC comics etc) I can guarantee most people making webomics are trying their best, which seems to be threatening to a certain type of person on the internet. It can honestly get really intimidating when you see a bunch of people reaching really hard to hate on something. Sure, I get that some people take crit poorly, I understand that some things are outright bad or harmful, and I get some people just wanna sit around and joke with their buds.... but sometimes it seems to get downright frightening. That's my perspective on it, at least.

Android Blues posted:I think there's definitely a certain breed of slightly-too-cruel critic who hates on partial failures because they're paralysingly afraid of making mistakes themselves, therefore don't create, and so seeing someone trying their imperfect best holds an unflattering mirror up to that. That's probably not the whole story about people who harangue less-than-perfect webcomics, but I think it's the case for some of them. Yeah, and from the creator point of view, no matter how well adjusted, zen-like, and aware you are, you are still putting yourself in a pretty vulnerable place, by making something. It can still be really hurtful to see people mock something you've put your heart into. This doesn't mean things are above criticism, but we're not usually talking about people who can go sob on there giant piles of money here....

Hi. I make Astral Aves, and you guys have given me some pretty helpful crit. Recently, life has gotten in the way of a regular update schedule...but I am glad some people are still reading. I realize I've been focusing on improving my art over my writing, but I hope things will pay off soon. Thanks for reading, and I will definitely try my best to give you the best story I can. If anyone has any questions or comments, I'll do my best to answer them.

so, honest question: is it kinda cool someone is doing something different, and the thing still persists? I get that like, change equals loss, and it's natural to lament that loss... but I know a lot of people in this thread posted "woah poppy" a lot... is this a new manifestation of "woah poppy"? I think maybe a transformation may be more exciting than a loss... I hope my weird words make some sense! Anyway, those are just my thoughts. Thanks!
