Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, June 2, 2020The Art of the Conversation
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, June 1, 2020
Understanding the importance of the dialogue between two characters (or an internal monologue) is crucial for writing conversations in comics. It is true that comics are written differently than real world conversations because it removes a lot of the idiosyncrasies that happen in real-time conversations.

Revisionist Historical Fiction
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, May 30, 2020
So over here on Greek TV, there's this very popular drama series that happens to be set in a Greek mainland village in the 1950s, and sells itself as ‘authentically representing an era’. It started off very promising, as a crime drama + family drama kind of story where three ...

Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, May 15, 2020
