Welcome again! Do stick around…
There’s been an influx of new visitors this week, I suspect mostly due to ads I’ve been running on fellow webcomic sites. (Though I would like to think there’s some positive word-of-mouth going about as well. Or am I deluded?)
From my own experience as a reader of webcomics, when I stumble upon a new one I tend to look at the latest update first. I don’t bother with the written synopsis of what the comic’s about, nor do I wish to go through a whole bunch of character descriptions. And I don’t immediately go to the first page and begin pouring through the archives until the comic has sufficiently engaged me for enough days that I’m compelled to go back and read it from the beginning.
I suspect this is the way most people approach their webcomic-surfing. Which is why humor/gag strips tend to have bigger audiences than strips with continuing storylines. (Although recently it’s been encouraging to see an increasing number of continuing story-based webcomics gaining massive followings. You know who you are…)
This is all my rather roundabout way of explaining why I don’t have a lengthy synopsis of what Twilight Lady is about or a whole bunch of character descriptions on this site. My intention for this strip is that though it’s a continuing story, casual readers ought to be able to jump in at any time and enjoy the latest plot developments and sticky situations the characters find themselves in without necessarily having to start from page 1. Such is the criteria for any good soap opera, after all… so why not a webcomic?
Of course, my ambition is to deliver something much more layered than your run-of-the-mill soap (pretension alert!), and readers who stick around for some time (or even choose to read from the beginning) will find the full Twilight Lady experience richly rewarding.
That’s a promise.
I am one of those people who just stumbled onto your webcomic through on of the ads you posted. I am totally hooked and intrigued. Well done! I love it.
^ As am I, continuing my tradition of getting hooked on a new webcomic shortly before schoolwork is due. Hell, worth it. I like your artistic style, and the story is quite intriguing.
Ads here. At first I was like “duhh, Poser webcomic!!”, but then I started reading it just for the laughts. And then page after page I realised that it was a good webcomic xD Keep it up 😀
I also stumbled in through one of the ads (from sinfest i think). I usually start reading from the beginning when I find a new webcomic and then go on till I’m bored or reach the end.
Went through the archives in a week and am eagerly waiting for your next page 🙂
I saw an add over another web comic and I was compelled to take a look. I started from the very beginning and now I’m hooked! Awesome comic!
