Webcomic Above You 2013 - Placeholders
Posted: Mon May 20, 2013 7:14 am
This is the thread for placeholders only. All posts that aren't placeholders, including reviews, go in the Reviews & Discussion thread.
Welcome to Webcomic Above You 2013. As the name suggests, participants will be reviewing the webcomic of the creator whose post is above theirs.
In the past, participants would make an initial placeholder post, and then later replace it with their actual review. This year's W.A.Y. will work a little differently because posts can no longer be edited after a certain time frame. Instead, participants will only be making placeholder posts in this thread, with all reviews and discussion being done in the Reviews & Discussion thread. The content of a placeholder post is completely irrelevant -- it's only there to establish that the participant intends to review the webcomic above them at some point. However, if a participant has multiple active webcomics and has a preference as to which one is reviewed, they should state that preference in their placeholder post. I'll also be updating the Reviews & Discussion thread to keep track of who's reviewing what.
Please read the following guidelines before participating:
1) Reviews should be at least 500 words, with plot summary kept to a minimum. Participants may want to consider writing about one or more of the following topics:
-- What do you think about the website?
-- Are the characters original and interesting?
-- Does the dialogue seem natural and realistic?
-- If there are jokes, are they funny?
-- Is the plot moving at a good pace?
-- Does the story make sense?
-- Is the art style unique, or is it like some other things you've seen?
-- Are there any obvious flaws with the artwork, like anatomical problems, repetitive shots, or a lack of backgrounds?
-- Are there any specific techniques the creator likes to use?
-- Is the lettering stylistically appropriate and easy to read?
-- Is the order of the dialogue and panels clear?
-- Are any of the individual pages or strips particularly noteworthy?
-- Would you recommend this webcomic to someone to read?
2) A participant can make more than one placeholder, although they're expected to write a full-length review for each one.
3) There's no specific deadline for writing reviews, but they should be written reasonably soon after making the placeholder.
4) There's no minimum page count for a webcomic to be eligible to be reviewed.
5) A creator doesn't have to have their webcomic hosted on Comic Genesis to be allowed to participate.
If there are any questions or concerns, feel free to PM me or ask about it in the Reviews & Discussion thread.
