kaosa666 im having trouble figuring out a plot for my manga i have the characters worked out but there is no story line neutral Then you're not ready to make a comic, are you? Don't ask for story ideas, here. it's against forum rules. And seriously, what do you expect people to do for you? You don't even provide character descriptions. Any one-size-fits-all skeleton plot we would have conjured up would have been so vague that it wouldn't have helped, anyway. |

Wait, I got one for you.
So there's this small town girl, right? And she's, like, living in a lonely world. So she takes this midnight train going ANYWHERE. And, there's this city boy, born AND raised in South Detroit. And, get this, he takes the SAME goddamn train! And together they get up to all sorts of hilarious hijinks, and fall in love. Desu. No thanks necessary. |

You just don't seem to get it. It doesn't matter who sees it. You are not allowed to ask for a story to write. It doesn't matter if you have characters worked out. You can't just shoehorn a character into a story in the first place. You have to either start with a story premise and build characters to suit roles or build characters and come up with a story that fits each of their personalities.
Even if it wasn't against the rules to ask for story ideas, we have no way to know what to suggest unless we know what the characters are like. Coming up with the story is your job. If you can't do that even on the most basic level, you are not ready to make a comic. You will hinder both your co-writer, who could be working on their own story and characters, and the artist, who could also work on their own story or at least find someone more talented at writing. |

Honest? Yeah. Harsh? Probably. But what she says is true. And that in itself is being helpful. And to quote that post in particular, she didn't say anything mean. Just that the OP needs to try a little harder before anybody can help him. She didn't talk down to him. And yes, many people here "take this comic thing seriously," it's the Comic Creators forum. ._. |

I just used that one because that was the last one i read and if you look at a few of her other posts she does talk down to people its cool that she takes it seriously but when it gets to the point were the fun is being sucked out for everyone else its a drag

Nah, a lot of people here are quite harsh, but it's not to suck the fun out. I don't want to speak for Ironspike, since it's not my place. But I feel that the SRS BSNS attitude is fine, as long as it's objective and such. Anytime somebody comes in here knowing what they're talking about, and isn't doing anything wrong, the replies are usually pretty supportive. We only make it a drag when somebody deserves it.
Usually only noobs or people breaking the forum rules get the abrasive attitude. |

Seriously, songfic comic of Don't Stop Believing would be completely freaking awesome.
And then if you posted it on your own site, you could have the song on a constant loop so readers would either mute their computers, gouge out their ears, or laugh hysterically. |

But if I sang it at a karaoke bar, they'd probably shoot me for singing it constantly. It's either that or Bohemian Rhapsody, people! |

Then DO it and keep it off the internet. Because Spike is the certainly not the worst in vocal opinions about people's creations when it comes to the internet. |
