Do you make actual money through Tapas? I do enjoy writing, I do write a lot, but the characters cap on chapters here is bit of a source of disgruntlement for me. I do feel like, if I’m going to put time and effort into writing a stories fit for this format, I want that time to pay back… however ugly it sounds to say.
We do! Makes total sense that you want to make money. So do we. 🙂 I say go for it, if it’s a good fit for your style.
Thank you for the answer! I’m… actually trying to figure if I can set an Android emulator to work however as I don’t own any mobile device …which can make things complicated to get to see what the story looks like once published. I’m a Tapastic user (as comic artist and reader) but I’ve never seen Tapas by myself. Is it possible for users to comment on stories, and for creators to reply to them?
Yes, users can comment on stories and creators can reply.
