Where should official Tisquantum updates live?
Hi all,
I'm going to be cross-posting this in a variety of places, since everyone is so spread out around the internet now.
Jono and I have made an unofficial pact to have comic update schedules (yes, this means Yuki is back on the drawing board!!). I've resisted having a weekly update schedule for 2 reasons:
(1) I'm not sure if getting a page a week is the right pace for the comic -- not enough happens on each page, and I'd feel like I'm stringing people along.
(2) I draw in 3-5 page segments, so that I can take time to tweak the dialogue across those pages.
However, I realized last night that concern #2 is not a big issue if I keep a buffer. (Gunnerkrigg has a 30 page buffer, but then again Tom Siddell is crazy-amazing). If I have a buffer of say, 5-10 pages, I can still be able to do my batch tweaking without disrupting the pace of comic updates.
Which brings me to the following questions:
(1) Which is a better pacing: a consistent flow of 1 page a week, or a batch of pages once every 4-6 weeks?
(2) If I were to do weekly updates, where should I host it? Here are some options:
(a) Tumblr, for easy re-blogging
(b) Separate website with comic-specific URL
(c) Personal website, so something like sushux.net/tisquantum
(3) If I'm updating by the week, would anyone be interested in being my "beta reader"? Basically get batches of pages ahead of time and give me feedback, much like what's been currently happening on sushusketches.
Anyway, comments and suggestions appreciated!
