Woot! Follow Up To “Make Your Own, Then!”

Very exciting!

A wonderful Tumblr poster has started a Tumblr devoted to posters who aspire to create comics of some kind.

Artists and writers can post their work and ideas, and posters can keep up with their progress. This is a great opportunity, but it needs participants, and some signal boosting, so please spread the word about:

http://makeyourownthen.tumblr.com/

The idea here is not to replace or denigrate fanfic or fanart, the idea is simply to get people connected and exposed, where people can encourage each other and share ideas and tips.

And hopefully, some people will end up making comics of some kind together.

Very exciting.

I don’t want to butt in, but my advice is start small, beware of scope creep, be aware of the medium you are using, and take full advantage of the viral nature of Tumblr.

Good luck! Spread the word!
