#webtoons

While I'm here, I wanted to field some advice regarding #webcomic hosting - I'm looking for the right platforms to post my #comic to.

#Webtoons is the big one, but I'm not keen on the mobile-centric format, & their width limit is too strict. #Tapas is better about this, but not by much.

I'd appreciate any alternatives - my ideal is a middle ground between versatility & discoverability.

(Yes, I know that everyone here is going to recommend I make my own site. Maybe in the future, but not now)

Speaking only for myself, I find "youthful beauty" kind of awkward now that I'm approaching my crone era.

Like, I read #Webtoons, one I liked got adapted to a TV series: #TrueBeauty. Obvi, I knew the characters were young adults, but seen in live action, the actors (who were of course mid 20s) just look... SO YOUNG.

Yes, they're very pretty, but they are BABY. The show was still fun, I just felt laughably old watching it.

A post for pinning.

I review and read a lot of comics, and among those are a lot of Webtoons comics.

If you are an artist or author wanting to join hands with Webtoons as a platform, please make sure you have good legal advice before doing so. They do not have a good track record with paying fairly, giving good work/life balance, or creative control, and will always want publishing exclusivity for some years, so just like working for any other large company, stack the odds as much in your favour as you can.

If you read comics, well, Webtoons pretty much always has an exclusivity clause regarding the titles on there, so reading and sharing the comics on there will help the creators. Just look out for ways you can support them outside of the platform, too.

For the Canvas side of things, Webtoons is just like any other free hosting. Doesn't control much but the possible revenue options and what it's okay with hosting, creators still have all rights.

I'll update this if necessary.

The ending of my big webcomic went up 1 year ago today. I'm still so grateful for all the support, reviews and comments from readers over the years - and I'm excited for all the stuff I'm doing next, which wouldn't have been possible without that. I basically just want to be sappy for a minute and say thank you to everyone who followed or read some of it: THANK YOU!!!
