OP here, I really don't know what I was thinking of exactly, TBQH.
I guess I was hoping for something that would get people from this board to make comics, and to allow others to see the comics that were made.
Comics, not images but illustrated stories, they could be anything from one-shots to long-running series.
The idea was basically to have some means for comic artists to show off their work, see how it ranks against other submissions in terms of popularity, and hopefully make some good money from doing it, which could be put towards not just supporting themselves, but also supporting the production of other entries.
The other purpose being served is not just the inspiration for more works being made, and of higher quality than just single images, and for artists/writers to receive more attention and compensation for their craft, but it also had the advantage of making it easier for people to find the stuff they are looking for, having a bunch of different types of it in one place, and new issues being released with yet more variety from one source.
Its all just like with other comics businesses, but the difference here being that these comics are of a very specific genre:
First, they are all pornographic.
Second, they all feature very young appearing characters as the Main Characters that are focused on ("young appearing" as in "a physical appearance that is resembling of a human being at the "childhood" stage between toddlerhood and onset of puberty, around 3-9 years old")
Third, they are broken down to six different kinds of sexuality:
Female MC's with Male partners (Straight Lolicon)
Male MC's with Female partners (Straight Shotacon)
Female MC's with Female partners (Lesbian Lolicon)
Male MC's with Male partners (Gay Shotacon)
Female MC's with partners of both sexes (Bisexual Lolicon)
and Male MC's with partners of both sexes (Bisexual Shotacon)
As I said before, we could take inspiration from other companies that work in comics production and promotion, who have also done things like ran serial publications that featured the entries of various artists, with inspiration from examples such as "Jump Weekly", a manga company that was heavily featured in the manga about manga "Bakuman", there's also other companies in the west that published the comics by various artists, ranked them by popularity, and even offered rewards to contributors, both for making something worthy of being accepted and run in the publication, and also for winning a higher number of audience than their competitors.
the reasons our community doesn't produce much is that there isn't enough support for production, so we should build that support for artists and writers, while also providing them with a safe place to submit their work, and a place where they can actually make money off of it. If we got some artists and writers who are making a profit from their smut, we will get more from them in return.
The differences I've provided being the variations on the idea. There are obstacles, but the internet covers for a lot of them. It's all online, and identities are protected. If we need more security, we can use TOR and other anonymizing/encryption measures, BitCoin can cover funding issues, for example.
As for ads, we have a lot of them available to us to choose from, the deep web is full of companies that would sponsor us, and we can also accept donations as well.
There will be issues with finding the volunteers necessary to do this and in setting up the actual infrastructure, we'd need some techno-geeks to take care of the details. But it's basically a ""if they can do it, why can't we?" kind of deal.
It's also an opportunity for us to learn more about the mainstream comics industry we are imitating (with adjustments). Especially you artists and writers, and a lot of people who are interested in less direct contributions, production, promotion, managing, editing, directing, etc.
For you tech-nerds out there, who can set up a site like this and run it well, this is an opportunity to test your mettle.
In addition to learning opportunities, there is the opportunity for profit, no one is an unpaid volunteer, everyone involved will be making money from this enterprise, in proportion to their contributions.
We will have donations, we will have advertisers, we will have users, so you'd finally be able to make this into a source of revenue.
If my pitch isn't good, you can instead use it as inspiration to pitch your own means of achieving the same kinds of goals: Making some /delicious/ comics, a lot more, and of a lot better quality, and also making them easier to find.
I don't have much to say, because I don't know much about anything, but this idea was basically me looking at the amount of material out there, and thinking "this is actually very little" and also me noticing it is mostly just single images, noticing that a lot of it is hard to find, and also noticing that a lot of the loli is based around main characters who appear as an age group that is older or younger than a lot of people would prefer (as LO says: they prefer their characters appearances to be older than 8, and this is characteristic of most loli art, on the other hand /tot/ mostly features characters that are too young-looking for this selected age grouping, younger than 4, so there is not very much for those who prefer characters that look like their are in the middle).
Then I looked at the matter of comics as a whole, both manga and western, and saw the things they do, that people like us don't, and thought "this is why they have so much compared to us, if we had this, we'd be able to make better stuff, and a lot more of it too.", followed by "what's stopping us from doing this? the internet has removed a lot of the potential obstacles here, we can make some slight modifications to the existing model and apply it to our own business for fun and profit!"
Then I pitched it here. that is my story, and it should give you the best idea of where i was coming from with this thread.
