Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Feb. 17, 2018
So you've written this awesome scene, or placed your pawns (aka characters) just perfectly to create a perfect scenario… and then you are stuck.
There is no way you can solve the problem in a way that pans out well for the character or the plot, or what you ...
The Origin Stories of Webcomics | Part 1
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Jan. 19, 2018
For this week I decided to take a break from the usual topic of comic promotion and, instead, talk about something more personal. Every now and then I get asked how I got into webcomics and, as an inevitable follow up, where should they start. If you’ll indulge me ...
Quackcast 353 - Beautycast
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, Dec. 19, 2017 LISTEN!
This is the Beautycast. We decided to have a chat about beauty. What IS beauty? is it universal? I would contend that it's not and that's what we tended to agree in the Quackcast. Beauty is a highly relative concept dependent on many factors like symmetry, rarity ...

Unfunny Funny
Banes at 12:00AM, Nov. 16, 2017
Lame jokes.
Sometimes I love them. They can make me howl with laughter these days - but I find it's important to be careful with them.
Where was the first place I heard and ENJOYED bad jokes? David Brent of the original “The Office” is the first guy that comes ...
Don't Look Back in Anger, I Heard You Say
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Nov. 6, 2017
Ever heard of the “starving student” stereotype? Or is the term “starving artist” more appropriate in this situation? Six years ago, I was given the opportunity to experience life as a starving student even though I was unaware about it at the time.

That Damn Amnesia
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Sept. 30, 2017
Amnesia is a very frequently used plot device in narrative works, especially in genres like romance or mystery or melodrama. It’s a perfect way to achieve either of the following (or all):
