"but ky", you say, "this sounds like you're making excuses to not work on the comic itself" to which i respond by closing my eyes as to not read that statement 😞
but! this will give me more time to tinker and play with code to make something that i hope will be really neat (secrets and changing layouts)! in all honesty i could save a lot of time and energy to hire someone to write it out for me, but i want the "stubbornly did it all myself" badge 😅
you can swap from simple mode to html editor but not back. so my work around is duel-wielding mirror sites, a main one in simple, a hidden one in html - manage the code one until i'm happy then post all the info over to the simple one... the simple site will still be up and running when it launches
rambling aloud: i had set up a functional website with neocities but it doesn't support cms plug-ins so i had to switch to comicfury. it'll save me an ungodly amount of money for server hosting but it's a shame i cant switch between the code and the easy template to tweak things better
hell yeah! there's no better motivator than your fellow peers! also thank youuuu 😭🥺
I also do B, because if i flip my cup completely upside down and it all pours out, at least I know the straw won't fall out
which is not to say that the other comic's protag is bland! rather that my own chars were flat and uninteresting;;;
instead of being discouraged, i spent a few days revising my own chars' personalities so they're in a much starker contrast from the other webcomic - and i actually love them even more! my previously bland protag is now my fave char to write 🤗
there's a webcomic that i intentionally did not read bc i knew i would accidentally bleed it into my own works. now that i'm a good chunk of the way into my own story i went and read the first few chapters and unfortunately there's A LOT of character design and trope overlap 🥲
