Heh. You mean BESIDES typing out answers to questions like this at 12 midnight when I need to be sleeping, just because I'm too grateful to my readers for reading me to do anything else?<P>When I was writing for books and magazines, I had little certainty that anything I wrote was going to be read, much less responded to. Getting feedback from you guys not only helps me produce better stories, it gives me incentive to keep producing, period.<P>Despite a few petty feuds among them, the creators of webcomics are on the whole a really nice bunch. Some are becoming good friends.<P>Your own voice still has to come first. But there's so much to learn from all the other voices out there-- colleague and reader alike-- that if you spend a few minutes every day listening, your voice will start coming out much more richly.

Hey your art isn't crappy.<P>
<a href ="http://godai.keenspace.com">MINE is! </a><P>

And soon, sooooon, once my artist actually illustrates the story, I will join your hallowed ranks, and bask in the adoration of the masses that you have.

This is to the people who read webcomics and those who create them.<P>How has the close interaction with each other, that has been made possible by the internet, affected your life?<P>Take Care

It's allowed me to see <a href = "http://storytellersanonymous.keenspace.com">how crappy my art</a> really is, and allowed me to start working on it.<P>It's also convinced me to start scripting things.

Well it's not only good to be able to reach, as a cartoonist/artist/writer a world-wide audience, you also make lots and lots of good friends and receive feedback on almost every thing we do. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif"><P>Maritza

Well in the way of good things I've gotten to see lots of great stuff that's helped amuse me and keep me up doing something late at night. The people in this community and others online have taught me a lot about things I'd never thought about before.<P>On the bad side web comics and the people involved have been a huge distraction for me and contributed to my lack of study and concentration when it comes to school and added a new group of people that I feel like an outsider with (sometimes) thanks to all the l33t out there.<P>------------------

I love webcomics, but I kinda blame that for taking too much time away from my reading. I find comics far, far more readable then novels, and so last year, for most of the time, when I was bored, I would read the archives of a new web-comic. Instead of, say, reading a book.<P>Thankfully, that's kinda mellowed out, so I think my free time's a little more balanced right now.

This is so cool. Thanks to everyone who has read thought and answered, so far. In about a week, I should have an essay based on this post and it's replies<P>Take Care
