Joel’s Notes |
| That seven deadly sins article is a really “non-constructive”, lash-out-y, embodiment of what’s wrong with the internet. |
| It’s also dated. |
| What would the CURRENT seven deadly sins of webcomics be? |
| 1) Consitent posting. – Super guilty of this one here. Many reasons. |
| 2) Super-duper in jokes. – When I need to know the last three years of your comic to understand why a character rolling their eyes is supposed to be the punchline. |
| 3) Long form comic posts that are just title pages or splash pages. |
Matt’s Notes |
| Updated 7 Deadly Sins: |
| Pride – the assumption that your webcomic is fantastic and deserves to be a huge success. Over marketing. |
| Envy – comparing your level of success with comics that have been around for years and accumulated massive fan bases. |
| Wrath – trash talking other creators. |
| Gluttony – being too busy reading other webcomics / watching shows / etc to find time to create your own. |
| Lust – wanting to be like another comic so badly, that you immitate it a little too closely. |
| Sloth – one of the worst. Being too lazy to work on your comic consistently. |
| Greed – Ads…ads as far as the eye can see. |
