Anyway, I've also found the secret to actually writing a decent manga. There are a large number of certain elements you need to have in a story before it can even be considered a decent manga. I'm not saying "The Eighth Plain" has all the elements it needs, but it certainly has quite a few that I've discovered and administered.
It involves an intellegent school kid who happens upon a strange bow and an empty quiver. He takes it home, and decides to buy arrows for it later on, though to his surprise the quiver is filled with arrows the next morning. No later does he run to his rooftop and try it out on the unsuspecting clouds hovering in the sky. He resorts to random items and popcans on people's distant rooftops and finds his accuracy improving. It's not too long until he spies a strange pitch black bunny about one rooftop away. He prepares his bow and arrow tightly, pulling it back and pausing before making his attempted strike. Though little did he know, releasing that arrow would be the end to a normal fate.
So, I figured I'd feature my fans so far, or, well, the people who've recently read and enjoyed the story. They're great deviants as well, so people should check out their stuffs!
And plenty of non-deviant art folks! I feel that with time the story should get more popular, but no matter what, fame or unfortune, I won't forget about those first few fans who showed me that what I'm doing is not a waste of time!

The first ten people who post in this journal will be featured. I will go though your gallery and post three of your deviations in my journal for everyone to see. In return you must post this in your journal as well.
If you already have a recent "10 features" in your journal, you can link to that instead.

I've also been tagged, though I've been a little too busy to commence with the whole tagged tradition... I'll try slithering my way to it eventually. ><;






The final product of a manga is a team effort. The mangaka draws--often sloppily--the outline of the entire manga, and other future mangakas working their way up, take the role from there to edit and design certain things. While some mangaka do all their work on their own, not a lot of them do, so don't put yourself down if you're unable to draw as perfectly as they do... because the final manga is the collective efforts of many great drawers, not just one.
If you'd also like to draw that perfectly on your own, my suggestion would be to edit, practice, and draw as much as possible until you think you have what you need. It wouldn't be a bad idea to get friends involved in helping as well, or even go to school for the art. Whichever route you take, remember it doesn't have to be as hard as it looks~

But, being a writer myself, I know that most people tend to get excited over their writing, and eager to hear something deep and involved when it comes to what they've written. They really want to know what parts the reader enjoyed, what parts may they have liked, dislike, got excited about or felt emotion about. I know I wonder all the time how my writing effects others. I just feel like, reading something so deep should give you twice as many things to say about it, it'd be hard for me to read something and leave a two word post about how it was. Maybe I just talk too much, or maybe I'm too compassionate, but I love making people feel good, even if they don't do the same for me in return. That's a lot of the reason why I critique. So I can understand how you feel when people don't say much when responding, or don't respond at all. It can get frustrating over long periods of time.

I mean when I read work and fav it I rarely comment on it..I mean I know I should but well I just lack to the motivation to do it any longer when I rarely get anything in return...If my emotions werre so tangeled in my life situations I might actually cxare enough to leave a good and nice compliment and critique but well I feel like it is no longer worth it cause well my emotions are fried and I just lost my ability to care as much anymore..

^^ Hey, like I mentioned in my comment, I'm sorry I haven't been on in a while. The time I did have was very short.
