Author Topic: So who here reads my comic? (Read 38537 times)

Have you thought about moving the comic to it's own dedicated site? Then you could have it listed in web comic lists. Once you get into those list you might start attracting new readers. I looked into all this back when I thought Simon Says might take off. (still think it would have honestly, but oh well.)

gwynn · « **Reply #91 on:** Jul 05, 2011, 09:57:12 AM »

I have thought about doing that. It just seems like so much work. I am not versed in any sort of web design.
I've had some people offer to make me a site, but they were not fans of the comic nor did I know them very well.
I don't want someone I don't know running the homepage of my IP, you know what I saiyan?
Sooo if I do get some brainspace freed up to start a website, I'll end up having to do it myself(and It'll look like shit).
Waaah.

Yeah I know what you mean. I don't really know jack about web design either. I know HTML, but that's pretty outdated now.

The good thing is that since you aren't looking to make money off the comic, either with advertising or merchandise, that would make it easier to find a free site that won't cost you anything.

Or you could do it viva Blogspot and put it up there. It is pretty easy to use. I know a couple people here have them as well, myself included.

gwynn · « **Reply #93 on:** Jul 05, 2011, 04:25:21 PM »

I'm not totally adverse to making money off of it, but I want any success it garners to be organic. It'll grow as the viewership grows, you know.
Basically I've been doing baby steps getting it out there, a website of it's own would sure help though.
The only merch I have planned for it is to print the first issue and give it out to anyone interested while I'm at Dragoncon.
Of course, if any of you want a copy I'll mail you one as well. I'm having a friend make me a MFC teeshirt, but it's just for me and to wear for one day at the con.
I would someday like to have vinyl figures made of my characters. That would be badass, but probably a couple years off.
Blogspot hmm, I have one of those, but I stopped using it.
I am putting all the pages up on my http://mysticfetus.deviantart.com/, but people are far more interested in my fan art.

Give it time to find a following. I think the Blogger thing is a good idea. People can follow you on it and you can put your blog in a category for people browsing for stuffs to read.

Fiero · « **Reply #95 on:** Jul 05, 2011, 10:24:05 PM »

If you did blogspot or whatever it's called that I have I would totally follow you, but mine will not generate any traffic for you because I think I haven't updated since December.

B E C K · « **Reply #96 on:** Jul 06, 2011, 12:27:34 AM »

Yeah, mine's pretty sporadic, too. But I'll follow you.

Rama · « **Reply #97 on:** Jul 06, 2011, 01:11:24 AM »

I'd follow you as well, but like the two above I haven't been working on my blog much lately.

gwynn · « **Reply #98 on:** Jul 06, 2011, 10:15:04 AM »

Much love to you guys. I just tried to resurrect my old blogspot and realized why I never go there, I really hate it.
So yea, you all rock for saying you'd follow me, but I don't like blaaaaargspot in the slightest.
I'd rather set up a twatter account, and I sure as hell don't plan on doing that.

Speaking of social networks, have you guys heard of Canvas?

I'm definitely more interested in your scoleri brothers piece.

Why do you hate it?

IDE · « **Reply #102 on:** Jul 06, 2011, 09:57:23 PM »

and in just your piece in general, you're kinda cute.

I pictured you as fat with glasses for some reason.

Fiero · « **Reply #103 on:** Jul 06, 2011, 10:28:36 PM »

Who, Gwen? Nah, Gwen is cute.

gwynn · « **Reply #104 on:** Jul 07, 2011, 02:09:54 AM »

I didn't draw the Scoleri Bros piece, it's a fav(ie someone else's work) My stuff is in my gallery.

Blogspot's interface is the main reason I hate it. I got lost just trying to figure out how to edit my page, it's not very user friendly.
Or at least not gwynn friendly.

I do wear glasses most of the time, but I'm pretty lean. I don't eat a lot and I keep active.
I wish I was cute like this Gwen.

IDE · « **Reply #105 on:** Jul 07, 2011, 04:19:21 AM »

What do you mean you wish?

That's you in the "me after a gwar show" pic right?

You are cute.

Out of your stuff I like the moth, chill man, and that hydra character.

Look what you did, Jason. You hurt Gwen's feelings.

Fiero · « **Reply #108 on:** Jul 08, 2011, 01:13:30 AM »

Who is Jason? Jason Sedekis? Is he here?

If you don't like Blogspot, I'm sure you know that there's a hundred more out there...Blogger, Wordpress.com, Typepad, Live Journal, Squarespace, etc. I'd try a couple or ask around and see if there's one you might like.

gwynn · « **Reply #110 on:** Aug 20, 2011, 05:20:53 PM »

I got a webspace up at comicfury nows! http://wastesofspace.thecomicseries.com/
I'm still getting it up to date. I have to learn some html to make it pretty like, but this site is very nice(and free).

Episode 3, page 4 is now up on the facebook site. https://www.facebook.com/mysticfetus
Grrr-Odge is based off of this guy I work with btw. He's a big lummox type guy and he really wanted to be in my comic. =P

Fiero · « **Reply #111 on:** Aug 20, 2011, 10:04:07 PM »

Love the name for him.

gwynn · « **Reply #112 on:** Sep 10, 2011, 04:11:34 PM »

More Wastes for your Space!
http://wastesofspace.thecomicseries.com/

Yea I didn't realize until after I posted it up that if I had waited till tomorrow, this could be considered insensitive content.
Planes crashing and what have you.
Also this page features my first decapitation of the comic! Woo! Decapitation!

I'm really looking forward to getting started on the next page, where I introduce some more characters.
Just WHO was piloting that ship?

B E C K · « **Reply #113 on:** Sep 11, 2011, 12:09:25 AM »

W-what? Dead already?

Only if Grrr-odge was shaped like two buildings.

gwynn · « **Reply #114 on:** Sep 11, 2011, 08:25:15 AM »

I never said he was dead. I did tell my friend Roger(who he is based off of) that I would eject him into space at some point.
So yea, not dead...just decapitated.

B E C K · « **Reply #115 on:** Sep 12, 2011, 01:43:28 AM »

B-b-but how can he live without his head?

We'll find out next week!

Or, you know, whenever you tell us.

gwynn · « **Reply #116 on:** Nov 20, 2011, 06:19:24 PM »

New page up today, suckas!

Oh yea, Grrr-Odge is an android, robot, whatever.
If you've followed the comic, before Zig altered him into a killing robot to fight Citron, he was a one of the GBOGAKs.
GBOGAK stands for Grunt Bot Only Good At ~~Killing~~ Kleaning.

B E C K · « **Reply #117 on:** Nov 21, 2011, 01:05:12 AM »

Oooh, I likes Kleaning!

Rama · « **Reply #118 on:** Nov 21, 2011, 01:25:34 AM »

But like Combat....Cleaning doesn't start with a K!

Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kleaning! Test your mop!
