Tapas(tic) Scheduling Paranoia (+ A minor Solution)

Hey-hey, Toon-a-thons (Yes, that includes you)!

Today, I'm going to settle a 5 year issue I've been having since I took content creation more seriously. Want to know a secret? Come here. No, come closer. Closer...

*AHEM*

SCHEDULING!!!!

GOD, SCHEDULING SUCKS... HARD!!

Well, not really. To be more professional, scheduling is less about what day is a good day to post (to you), but what is a good day to post in accordance to the audience of a website. Particularly, the website known as Tapas.io (formally Tapastic). You see, Tapas is a website much akin to your usual webcomic hosting website. While I don't have any particular feelings for or against its competitors like Webtoons, I do feel Tapas has become a little stringent and devaluing. Its not that I hate the site, no no no. Its just that while I've been on it for five years (since January 19th, 2016), I feel as if I haven't properly cracked the code when it comes to determining what is the BEST time and day to post my next work. How do I explain it? It's like this.

I don't like to post new works the second I complete them.

That's a difficult situation when you take into account that a majority of my work these days have converted to the creation of webnovels. I used to dedicate to mainly comics and comic strips, but too many ideas have flooded the brain. Novels on Tapas is like a less-stringent cavern. It has an audience, but it doesn't have an overload like the bread-and-butter of comics. I like to blame our slowly growing hatred of reading mixed in with brain rot due to an endless cycle of bad television... and Hollywood.

I've asked many questions, read the rules, browsed forums for the perfect answer, but... nothing. Honestly, even the lowest comic artist on that website can see a boost of viewers for a day even if the high doesn't last very long. But when it comes to novels, it's basically just throwing an apex in the backend of a side iron hoping for it to stick the landing. It also doesn't help that Tapas only schedules in PST (Pacific Standard Time). And for a guy like me that lives in the east, that-... THAT'S CONFUSING!!!

So, I've devised a crazy idea. Something that might just work within the confines of the website. Here's MY PERSONAL SCHEDULE for all NOVELS (and comic strips) related to my work!

NOVELS

• The Adventures of Jean-Luc & Joey: Every Wednesday to Friday at 11 AM PST (2 PM EST) once the new volume is complete.

• Sonia: Legends of Eternal Darkness: Every weekend (Friday to Sunday) at 5 PM PST (8 PM EST) once the volume or short story is complete.

• Poetic Pieces of a Particular Penman: This series is more sporadic since this is more of a side-project I write to make me laugh. Episodes will air once I finish a poem, However, I'd rather have these poems as a collection to buy, which can be available here.

• Mellisa & Julianna: Mellisa & Julianna is a companion series to Sonia: Legends of Eternal Darkness. As such, this series will share the same scheduling date, (Friday to Sunday) at 5 PM PST (8 PM EST), as the main series.

COMICS

• Sticktoons: Bi-Weekly every Sunday at 11 AM PST (2 PM EST), and Thursday at 12 PM PST (3 PM EST).

OK, that should cover everything, right? We can work with this? Ok, good.

This, I feel, will be the set schedule for the time being when it comes to my works. If push comes to shove, I'll update you on the change. Until then, let's make this last and enjoy the fun!

Be Toontastic~!
