demiurgentWell, technically I'm a webcomics writer. But still.
Gossamer Commons has launched, officially. Greg's art is fantastic, Weds did a great job on the site design, and me? I'm just happy to be there.
Have a look see! This is a very, very happy day!

Date: 2005-03-21 04:18 pm (UTC)but i'd suggest making each installment about that size...It's really an ideal length for it, i think. Just long enough to feel like you've actually read something...
Also, the archive link is screwy when on the creators page.

(On a site design note, it seems you're using the alt tag for amusing commentary on the panels; if you want this tag to actually show up for all browsers, adding a title tag is good. Standards-wise, the alt tag is only intended to replace an image that can not be displayed for some reason, and a couple browsers treat it like that... which is slightly annoying, since a lot of people use it for captions. And of course, then there's other browsers that ignore the title tag altogether. Sigh.)

Date: 2005-03-21 09:55 pm (UTC)That said, despite the apparent dullness, the dialogue does sound good and realistic. Many a webcomic online has really stilted dialogue that reads somewhat robotically. Not so here. But in the end, if I have any real recommendations, it's to pick up the pace and cut to the chase (Hey, that rhymes! I'm totally putting it on a tee shirt now). Also, if the comic is just a slice of life strip about Writer Guy and his everyday life, I'm probably not your target audience anyway. There are people that love that, but I'm not one of them, so you can take my criticism with a grain of salt.
And even after all that ranting, I think I can safely say that it's superior to a great deal of webcomics online. Which just goes to show my relatively negative view of webcomics as a whole, but that's a whole other topic...
(And just like that, John's comics go suspiciously unsnarked for the rest of eternity.)
