i dunno if I'd ever expect to see much at all on FTM. I've only known one myself, and I don't even think I've ever even happened upon to many books on the subject. So I'd not hold my breath waiting for a comic on the subject. maybe a MTF centered comic could have a FTM character. Or even a dragking. I know those are quite common especially in lesbian community. Here where I live seven out of ten Lesbians usually fall into that category. Funny how society rarely bats an eye a a girl who dresses and acts like a man. but the reverse happens and its suddenly oh so wrong.

Topics of discussion in comics, and in politics I suppose.

Hello all! I've been uploading my comic for about a month now, but didn't have time to drop by and say hi! My comic, Corsair Chronicle is...well, a little bit of everything I suppose. Nothing rated over T mind you, but genre wise, the story more than likely has elements of everything. I'm a wannabe writer, and have written several fanfiction before, though I will admit my art is just about decent, I'm working on improving it and providing everyone with a good comic to read.

Looking forward to getting to know all of you. :D

Phact0rri. I heartily agree. I can wear jeans and mens shirts and no one cares. Fffth. Maybe I'll have to make a comic on the subject myself... shame I'm not FTM.

Hydraitus, welcome to the site! Man, sounds like my story here. A bit of everything. But don't feel you need to follow some sort of literary expectations... genre benders are fun!

Yeah, Venus Envy is MtF, but does have an FtM character. I touch on FtM's as well occasionally, and I believe there IS a FtM comic, but it's outside of Keenspace. It's called Transe-generation. Unfortunately the site is down and the author says he can not afford to keep it up, but someone has archives, and I guess if he can get back on his feet, we could all enjoy it if it goes back up again.

At the moment, I have a small bundle of comics ready, but I'm waiting on my admin login page to work. I guess I still need 2-5 days before I can actually log in, even after the one week initial waiting period! :p

The haters can come, but at that point I'm sure I'll have addressed them in a couple of comics by then. :]

And thanks Metruis!

Aloha, people of the forums. I am Xaybiance The Weird :o

I am a brand new comic maker-person/dewd that has many brilliant plans for the future. Currently, I run a webcomic called Wickedly Wonderous. My comic runs three comics altogether. These three comics are Wickedly Wonderous, Paper Man: The Origins, and Tribute To The Norm: Normalität unseres Verstandes. Everything is traditionally drawn on either line paper or printer paper, since I'm a cheap mofo XD. But if you would like to know more, visit my comic or send me a message.

Adios amigos! D:

Heya at both of you! Don't worry, there's no universal rules of forums. Just be polite and treat people like other people and you should be fine.

And, Xaybiance, sounds dramatic! XD Good luck with your traditionally drawn comic. Printer paper > line paper, unless you're going for that look, and be consistant about it! I drew on printer paper too, by the way. =P

Hello! *Waves*

Uncreative username ahoy! xD; After years of plotting, I've finally got the free time to start my ultimate comic! x3 I've started at least two in the past that never seemed to go anywhere... but now that I've gotten this one going, I figured I should make an official page for it and everything~ >w<

Technically there are two authors working here, but only one artist~ >w> Sneaky sneaky...

Oh, nice. I used to have two comics too that went nowhere. And now I have this one that's doing a little better.

I think I might have posted a plug here once. Ironically, I don't read that many webcomics, although I remember liking yours back in 20 000BC! :P

Special as in "special" and not special as in "mentally retarded" right?

Welcome to the Gen. Seems there's a massive backlog of stuff to do on a technical end though. *sigh*

Hi all! Just wanted to break the ice, seems the right place for it. This is my first attempt at a comic, web or otherwise and so far I like Comic Genesis a lot. One of the best things I've found is the variety and quality of the conics hosted here. Frankly, I'm having a hard time getting any more of my own strips done for all the excellent comic reading I'm doing!

Hi... XD

I'm here again. I think this makes my third time introducing myself into the world of Comic Genesis. I had a nice active run the first time. I tried to come back and quickly ground to a halt the second time. This time though, this time things will be different. :D

I've designed a comic so simple, so easy to maintain, even a million chimps with pencils and twenty years could do it. It's so simple, I'll automatically enter the grind and go to sleep after I've made 365 comics! D:

So, how's everybody been holding down the fort? I think I asked this last time, but is everybody still gnawing on Cope?

edit: I'm taking every new and renewed person on this page and making them Brothers in Joining.

It's been a while, actually. I'm almost nostalgic for it.
