I feel like I should make a post outlining what the heck is going on with all the kitties I’ve been posting about here but I have no idea how to go about doing that.. may take me a bit

some night for you

I summoned a video 🐈🐈‍⬛

cw for blood btw

sensible side character attempts to slap sense into sopping wet, pathetic main cast

If you don't mind answering- what site have you found most success in posting comics vs which is your favourite? (e.g. insta, tumblr, comicfury) 

THE RAZ COMIC AWARDS:

Instagram - Most Popularity (19k followers! A page with 800 comments! Flocks of excited kitty-cat-book readers! But for all its success, Instagram is one buggy platform. And it sure ain't friendly to artists!)

DeviantArt - Most Discourse (Boy, do deviants love to argue! Never before have I seen arguments that made me more uncomfortable. Yet the sweetness of other commenters compels me to stay!)

Webtoons - Most... Uh... There (Why did people keep asking me to upload my comics on Webtoons? What kind of audience is there for a Warrior cats fan comic? Why do I only update every 5 months when I remember it exists? I'll never know!)

Tumblr - Most Unhinged (I couldn't have guessed that some silly side project would result in such wild theorizing! Or such crazy dedication! It's really something special. Let's hope they don't cool down anytime soon!)

ComicFury - Most Functional (Though the readership might be small, this is one smooth website! Great for uploading, reading, binging... what can't ComicFury do? Just make sure you know what you're clicking on!)

forgot to post this here

Hey weird question but how do you write a comic? Do you write a script for important events? Do you write what each character says? Do you write background info? Please help out a person who's trying to write theirs..

From the simplest perspective, you write exactly as much as you need and not any less. There are no hard rules about this, and tons of people do it tons of different ways. But here's an example of my own, if you need an idea of one method. I'll use my other webcomic, The Dog Star, under the assumption you're working on a traditional comic instead of one like PATFW. However, I use pretty much the same system of documentation for PATFW.

Here's an except from my "notes" document for TDS, which is where I write down things like my basic ideas, any backstories for characters, things I want to expand on, random ideas, etc.

I find it helpful to have a separate notes document from whatever "script" you're working off of, so you can keep them clean and easy to distinguish.

Here's an excerpt from my "script" document of part of the scene described above. For my comic, I write it as if it were a movie script, with dialogue against any necessary notes that will help me remember a specific emotion, choreogrophy, or scene-setting device.

Personally, I did all of my scripting before I started TDS, but I like to work from a really solid base before I begin something. I know plenty of people who only write dialogue, or write it as they go with only outlines of plans. This also doesn't mean that my script is set in stone; since I began TDS, I've added 40 pages worth of new dialogue and adapted almost all of what I had before. It's all up to you.

I've talked about writing tips before on this blog - check out the "advice" tag if you think you might need anything else.

I haven’t written fic in a year+ scripting this story is killing me 😔
