#knifebeetle

What is KNIFEBEETLE? It's a curated list of webcomics, linked to by each of its members to promote each other and help readers find new stories to read and fall in love with. If your application is successful, you get added to the list on the hub site!

The criteria to be considered are:

Polished, interesting, well-written stories with a narrative focus.

At least 30 pages of comic must be available to read.

Regular updates OR completely finished.

You must be able to link back to KNIFEBEETLE on your comic's site in some way. This last point means that comics that are ONLY hosted on sites like Webtoon and Tapas cannot be considered for membership. Hosts like ComicFury are fine, Tumblr may be considered.

Membership is not exclusive, so you can still join other webrings and collectives.

This year there are TWO kinds of memberships to apply for:

FULL MEMBER: Include the widget on every page of your site.

AFFILIATE: Simply link back to KNIFEBEETLE in some way on your site. Check the website to see how these two memberships work in action.

If you previously applied but didn't get in, you are welcome to apply again!

I am planning to cap new members at 20 but will see how many applications I get. You are more likely to be accepted if you're submitting to a genre that doesn't have a lot of other comics in it.

The deadline is October 31st, but I will still need to go through all the applications and it might take me a while because I need to read each comic. All applicants will hear back from me by the end of the year.
