the whole reader feedback and author reaction stuff is the reason why i was aware of this in the first place bc i remember hearing about fandoms forming around certain stories and the author getting annoyed at their demands lmao. history repeats

small correction i said 200 very carelessly but it was more like 150 years ago.
also the funny part is that at the bottom of this wiki page it mentions manga and AO3 as modern serialized fiction

im doing some research on how fiction was published historically for a complete throwaway line and. i was tangentially aware of this bc i knew stories like sherlock holmes were serialized but i didn't realize that as recent as 200yrs ago the dominant format of fiction in america was serial magazines

in the end the conclusion is always that i draw it because it's fun. i have a ton of fun drawing ouj and the artistically satisfying panels and narrative beats are something i go back to and enjoy myself. so i always end up discarding those insecurities (although they come back on occassion)

sometimes i struggle with feeling like it's not legitimate art because i can't explain quickly to a stranger what it's trying to be. we don't have doujinshi spaces in the US so it doesn't really "belong" anywhere but even by jp doujinshi standards a 6 year series is real freak shit

admittedly i have had a lot of difficulty explaining what our unending journey is to people? it's a fancomic, it's a doujinshi, it's a manga series, it's a webcomic. it's in ffxiv but it's not really about ffxiv. it's like a dnd series except that it's a comic and it's in ffxiv and there's no dnd

i have noticed that too. it seems to me that the reason why people do this is because the cost of tabling is so high and they want to ensure they at least break even. i'm sure i couldn't break even on a con i had to travel to if i just brought the stuff i was interested in 🥲

as someone who is only observing the space from outside the anime con artist alley scene seems incredibly competitive and oversaturated. the pressure is also high to perform well when the table is $$$ and you also had to pay airfare. i thought about it briefly but i think local is the best for us rn

We have a working setup now and I think we have the logistics down so it would be fun to do more local events in the area. Distant events might be hard because books are so heavy. We shall see
