your answer to question of the day
(Is this the seasonal question? I’m confused)

Hey! It's been quite a long time since this club has been active, but thank you for joining! I'm not sure how many of the old members are still making comics here on CS, but feel free to share your ideas or work if you'd like. It's cool to know that there's still interest.

Ooo gosh, I didn’t even check the date of when the last person posted.

XD here (like I said, it’s only one page and I probably won’t do more, but people seem to like that page)

I also ended up making Vega and another dog of mine mates, so here’s a little family tree if anyone wants to see it.

Its very cute! Did you have ideas as to where you wanted the story to go? It's also cool to see the family tree.

I actually did a second page but no one liked the second page for some reason…so I ended up deleting it.
I’m not sure why no one ended up liking the second page, but I’m honestly fine with just the one page.

I may continue it later.
It’s just disheartening if people like the first page but then suddenly no one likes the pages after.

I've run comics for a very long time and unfortunately that is often the case, and building up a following usually requires continuing to post even if you get no attention. (Or, without realizing you have people reading at all. I went on a long hiatus once with a project I assumed no one was reading only to get a comment about a year later asking why I stopped updating.) It can be very disheartening and lonely to feel like you're shouting into the void, but I think most people have to go through that stage in a serialized project until it clicks and people start to read and follow it. It's also a known phenomenon that pages often get fewer likes and views over time in a long serialized project, as readers drop off or fail to read subsequent pages. (My current project has been running offsite for about 5 years now and its difficult not to be distracted by the views and likes. But if you look at the numbers for even the most popular series, you can see that the first page or episode of any given project always has WAAAY more views than the last.)

So, rambling aside, if your comic is a project you like and have ideas for, I would absolutely encourage you to keep it going! Try not to be discouraged if you can. Once people get to know the characters better and have an idea of what sort of story you're trying to tell, you might start to find regular readers. It's difficult, but you can only get readers and a following if you keep going.

Thank you for the advice
(Thats actually the other thing, is I don’t often have ideas. I try, but I just can’t seem to really come up with anything.)
