I've been thinking a lot about this thread, and I've come to the conclusion that if we want to bring Fan Comics back to life, this thread is one place where we can connect and refresh the Fan Comics community.
So I'll pose some questions so we can start a discussion:
What do you hope to accomplish with your comic(s) this summer?
Similarly, where do you hope to see the Fan Comics Forum in the near future?
- What do I hope to accomplish this summer?
Well, I guess that I'll just keep going like I've always been doing. It seems to work pretty well. I hope that by the end of this summer, chapter 5 of SoL will be done. It'll be a pretty long chapter, in which all the main characters will finally get to MEET each other. Since I started the comic back in 2006, they still haven't met, so yeah... That would be nice.
I also hope to start working on chapter 6, which will entail a totally different perspective *coughWesleyandhisgroupcough*, rather than just following Matt, Sandy and Sub around all day. And perhaps chapter 7 will start somewhere in the winter. I'm really excited about chapter 7, because that's when the story's main plot will FINALLY kick off!
But maybe that's too much info. XD
- Where do I hope to see the fan comics section?
Well, I'd like to see it come back to life, for starters. Some nice comments or constructive critiques in my thread might be nice too. I can't really complain though. At least I also have my own chatbox and my dA page, where people leave comments. It's not like I feel under appreciated or anything. XD
I'd also really like to see some events or something being organized. I think that those could really help the section come back to life. Maybe we could do a contest, perhaps even a fan art contest for the webcomics here (heck, I'd donate prizes for that). Or maybe some sort of awards for comics which run here. I'd totally nominate Just Gotta!
But I think that this section won't be able to come back from the brink its currently teetering on, unless we no longer keep ourselves confined to the section. What I'm saying is that IF we do some sort event, perhaps we should ask if we can't have a public announcement in the main forum section, where more people will see it? I guess we'd have to ask Serebii about that (he runs the forum, right?). Or am I getting ahead of myself again?
