Solving Webcomic Issues We All Face.

Today’s discussion…

When to start?

Christina (Sombulus), Liz (Adrastus), and Robin (LeyLines) are back for another Long-Form Take-Over!  Today we’re answering two listener questions:

‪Miri LR Powell asked: “I’d like to hear more about planning and scripting for long-form comics… what you should have before you begin, how much buffer you need to start with, etc.”

Darren Silvers Jr asked:  “When do you begin publishing everything when you first start? Do you wait until you have a lot of content and post a chunk big enough for a passing reader to make sense, or do you publish right away the moment have finished a page? Question mostly for action long form comics and less gag a day formats (I meant online, but knowing the print publishing is always helpful for anyone who makes the swap from online to print)”

Some of the things we mention in this podcast include:

Write or Die

4thewords Writer RPG

Nanowrimo and NaNoManGo

Inktober

Monster Soup Webcomic

Suihira and Make 100 Kickstarter Projects

Rana Voicemails

Lyrics for “The Longform Takeover” sung to the classic “Final Countdown” by Europe

We’re writing together,

But it’s hard as hell

And maybe we’ll have to

Rewrite, who can tell?

I guess there is no one to blame

Full disclosure (Full disclosure)

Should I redraw the whole thing again?

The Longform takeover

Longform takeover

Oh!

We’re heading for reveals (reveals)

Though it’s at a crawl

These plot points I’ve concealed

Will surprise them all, yeah

With so many pages to go

Can’t lose my composure (my composure)

I’m sure that they’ll all love it so

The longform takeover

Longform takeover

Longform takeover

Longform takeover

Oh!
