Smackjeeves had an update...
6 years ago
While I'm not opposed to sites having a change of style for its user interfaces and layouts, Smackjeeves went about their overhaul in a very unproductive manner for a lot of creators, including me.
- Comic sizes are now restricted to 690 px width. You'd still be able to read my comic, but I personally am displeased with the size drop regardless.
- There is no way to organize my pages anymore. If you want to submit something, it has to be in a "chapter" format and the site allows you to submit more than one image at a time. For shorter comics, I can see this working somewhat, but for longer comics like mine, that's out of the question. The archive list does not look intuitive and is now a pain to sift through sinc e I can't organize my pages.
- Custom pages are gone, I can't find ways to receive direct messages, and I can no longer make news posts.
It's safe to say that I have to find a new place where I can post the webcomic. This is a good opportunity for me to learn how to build a website! In it, I am planning on having all information about my characters, worlds, and lore, almost like a hub. Within the site, I plan on putting in pages for the webcomic itself. I do not wish to make a site JUST for the webcomic because of copyright concerns.
That all being said, PMD: Gleaming Hearts is going to be on hiatus until I can organize a functioning website for all of my stuff. It'll be a good investment and experience for me, I feel.
Thank you all very much for understanding, and I hope I can provide an awesome hub for everything Fidverse in the not too distant future! I'll keep you all posted.
