Diseased #Comicsgate - The Culture Wars Hit The Funny Books!

Finally, Preston's desire first to collaborate wih and then to create an organization of spergs that would parallel Warcampaign, dubbed the "Preston Knights", headed by Simptagion creator Molby/"HOLDtheTRUTHHOSTAGE".
"Preston Knights" is horrible.

POULTER GAIS would be so much better.

BTW, there already is a LOLCOW thread for me. https://kiwifarms.net/threads/cesaer-of-comicsgate-human-sunbeam-ethan-van-sciver-evs.64808/

There could be another. It'd be pretty funny. Make it!
 
Comicsgate really doesn't have as many true lolcows as Weeb Wars or other parts of the site; other than Liam Gray, Sketch Therapy and several of the Warcampaigners.
Preston became a cow the moment Null linked to the cuck porn shit in Happenings. Preston then exacerbated things by getting into a public pissing match with Rekieta on Twitter. Among other idiocy, Preston tried to scare people into thinking the law had been broken (it's too much to recount in total, but he looked like a complete idiot).

I've said this before but, to my knowledge, that has been the only CG related thing (sorta) that has made it into Happenings.

It's not hard to see why. It's milk that the "everyman" Kiwi can digest. You don't need a complete history lesson on CG lore in order to appreciate it.

I dunno about Micah, but I will note there is a TGWG section on the site. They might consider him one independent of CG.
 
Only one thing doesn't count: how well he's drawn.

To be honest, even back when I liked Ethan, I always thought Cyberfrog was drawn like this.

Cyberfrog feels like a real character, and I can see Ethan's passion for this project in the writing and art. It's his best art he's done in his career--and he's done some of the best books DC has ever put out, and he managed to outdo himself.

Nasser, when you fail at writing you can go into politics, because that is one hell of a spin-doctored non-answer.

"I can see the passion in his art." You could say the same about CWC. I think there's a thread or two about him, somewhere around here.

@FROG You have many dedicated fans who are eager to please you in any way they can.

That's a lot of extra words to say "you have many simps."

If you continue to implicitly request marijuana on your streams it's only a matter of time before one of them attempts to mail you some via UPS and gets charged with interstate trafficking.

Oh, I beg your pardon. "You have many stupid simps."

But even yet, there are those who remain unconvinced that EVS suffers enough rushes of shit to the brain to qualify.

In more current news, whatever detente existed between Preston Poulter and DA Talks has gone out the window with the latter released this video "Preston P of PocketJacksComics #EXPOSED" a few hours ago. Summarized:

Thank you, Dongs. I had to shut off that video half way through. I've heard of having a face for radio, Dean has a voice for silent movies.
 
"Study writing" how? The only way is to read a lot and write a lot.

I've read thousands of comics and written hundreds. That's all there is to it--figuring out what you like in a comic, what makes it good, and learning how to make your own books good.

I've heard this "You haven't studied writing!" bs form so many people and I don't know what they want from me--do I need a degree in literature or something? All it takes is writing a lot and reading a lot. That's it. There is nothing to learn from anything other than that (unless we're talking about the business-end of writing).

This year I've read 6 and a half novels already. Is that enough "studying" or is there going to be some dumb reply to this, like "OH NO IT DOESN'T COUNT BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T GO TO A WORKSHOP AND PEER REVIEW 8 OTHER WRITERS!!!"
This is precisely the overwrought and defensive reply I expected.

A degree isn't necessary but some training helps. Look up your favorite writers on Wikipedia and tell me most of them didn't get some training aside from reading.

The vast majority of successful writers studied the theory and craft of writing formally or informally for a reason.

I wonder what it is that makes you think you're smarter than all of them.

It takes me 2 weeks to write a novel
Yeah, this is not good.
You write what, 4000 words a day with a day job and a youtube channel?
This probably means you are rushing writing and it shows in your books. Stephen King, who is a full time and prolific author, writes about half of it per day.

If you were actually making a little profit with your books, you would be able to be make more. Rushing through books that cost you money can only lead to you losing more money.

Just sit down, take your time and write the best book you can.

3,000 typically, sometimes 4,000-5,000 when I have more time.

no.
Stephen King, who is a full time and prolific author, writes about half of it per day.
In his book "On Writing" he says he writes about 2,000 a day. That's why younger Nasser chose the goal of 3,000, to do more than Stephen King. It's an easy goal and not rushed at all. I don't get this mindset that writing a novel in 2 weeks is "rushed." You act as if I need to do 500 words a day for it to be good.

3,000 words is like 6 pages in Word lol it's not 57 pages or something.

There's also drafts 2 and 3, where any problems are fixed. It's not 2 weeks then no editing or changes before publication.

Yep, I knew that was exactly where it was going. I don't need to "workshop" a short story and get feedback from 6 other losers. Stephen King himself says in his book On Writing that all you need to do is write a lot and read a lot.
As promised. Here are the DM's sent to me by one of the PRESTON KNIGHTS Molby. I have no words for what you are about to read. But, ENJOY
I have no idea what I just read.

I know there are full time authors who do 10 or 15 thousand words a day. My point is that you are not full time and that would lead to diminished quality and burnout eventually.
And the fact that your books are not considered great to begin with.
Are you at least plotting your books beforehand? King does not, so that explains why his output is so slow.

I'm not full time, but for like 9 months last year I was unemployed. I got a lot of writing done in that time. It wasn't rushed--and now with a part time job it still isn't rushed.
And the fact that your books are not considered great to begin with.
Depends who you ask. My first book--which I despise, and took off Amazon--had like 13 or 14 reviews and all 5 stars. My books on Amazon now mostly have 5 stars. I only had a few complains about Stardust or Trixie, and all the artists working with me love the scripts I've turned in. I'm not saying everything I do is great, but it's at least good, and people are liking it, and know I can be great one day.

No, plotting (for me) ruins creativity. I like to discover the story and characters as I go--and I know I'm gonna get a good idea a week from now for the story I'm working on, so an outline is useless. I did try outlines, but I could never stick to them, because 1. I got better ideas, and 2. I found out that none of what I plotted out fit the characters or the plot. I found that the main character would never do what I had plotted for them to do, and that most of what I scribbled down in the outline was pointless. So I begin with a small idea and go off the top of my head.

Symmetry, set ups, pay offs, call backs, Easter eggs and shit like that are much harder to work in that "seat of the pants style"

I use a plot outline as the "first draft" and usually know how a character would do react to whatever plot device is thrown at them. Character development is always for me the real story and I wouldn't begin without knowing how where they begin and what change is going to happen.

I can write either way. I find having a structure to restrain me and keep me on track makes it easier to actually finish the work.

I take it all back Nasser. That's great advice. ("On Writing" must be a short book...)

You are way smarter than all those successful writers who thought there might be something to learn in order to improve. It worked for Rob Liefeld as an artist so I don't see why it won't work for everyone.

You do you. I find it very entertaining to watch.
