Reader Spaces vs. Creator Spaces
Communities take a couple forms in webcomics. Finding a community to support you on your journey as a creator is important, and sometimes they’re going to be your proofreaders, your cheerleaders, and recommend printers or conventions. There’s also the communities we make for our readers to discuss your comic and meet each other! So we’re going to be talking about those things, and where they live, and what the differences and expectations are for both!
What are your favorite creator community experiences? What kinds of things should you expect from them?
Not to brag, but one of our favorite creator community is the Screen Tones Discord. If you haven't already joined, be sure to check it out! There's always lively discussion, coworking streams, and fun group events!What are your favorite reader community experiences? How have your expectations changed over the years for them?
What’s your advice about communities, either participating or creating them?
Be respectful of the rules and guidelines established by the community.
