uhhhhhh i can give it a go?

try to have a point of difference! it’s okay to do something that’s been done before, but how can you turn it on its head and make it stand out? don’t be afraid to try something new!

getting a nice theme isn’t essential but it does make everything look pretty!

make sure you have an about (it doesn’t have to be long) and a navigation page - tag everything with ‘chrono’ or something so new readers can catch up easily!

got a plot? make sure you have a bit of a plan before you start, but keep it loose ‘cause your askers are bound to send it veering off the rails! no plot? no problem, wing it to your heart’s content

it’s okay to delete an ask if you don’t like it or for any other reason. it’s also okay to hoard asks if they’d work better at another time

get your name out there! send messages to other blogs! it might take a while to get off the ground, but don’t be disheartened - keep doing it so long as it’s fun for you

also, feel free to hit us up when you get started and we can give you a promo ;D-mod mel

I got some advice too! I mean mine’s a not-ask based comic but TECHNICALITIES

-Just START; once you start, heck you’ve already got your foot in the door! Just doodle a comic page, sketch it out, it can be messy, you dont have to finish it. And later if you’re feeling a bit more inspired, you’d have already started!! Starting is the definite hardest part. It’s easy to say “I want to make a comic”; but actually drawing out pages is the hard part. It may see harrowing, but just starting, even a little bit, does a WORLD of difference

-/Events/ are a fun thing! Events challenge your characters with new and interesting obstacles that push your characters to the limit. A very good way to initiate events is through the use of M!As, or Magic Anons! Everything is Underswap, Turning your Character into a ghost, Your Character has superpowers, gets teleported to the void, there’s a world of possibilities. 

-You’re gonna wanna have a general direction and an outline of the personality of the characters before going full force.

For example, when I write Frisk, I remember they are: 

Reckless. This means they are likely to jump into danger with little regard for their own safety or the saftey of their party members. Determined. Very unlikely to give up or stray from their determined path, but not to confuse with perserverence, and that they actually have low stamina. And Caring. They will put the safety of their friends before themselves, but sometimes they get overzealous and make mistakes, but when it does happen they apologize and generally just want everyone to be okay, even if it’s not possible.

Knowing the core values of your characters prevents you from having that feeling of making your own interpretations OOC. 

-EVERYTHING you do is for your entertainment, and you’re not obligated to go with what you’re uninterested with. Your characters dont have to be perfect, you dont have to have fully lined, colored art all the time, you dont even need PICTURES if you dont feel like putting them in, and you dont have to update every day. Just when you feel like it.

But overall, All I can say is have fun! And remember, there is no way to do it wrong.

I have no idea how people can manage more than one social media page at a time. I’ve pretty much dropped off this platform, at this point. I have an Instagram that I’m much more active on, so if you’d like, go follow that one instead!
