Description
Those of you who actually look at my stuff, this does not apply to you.Sometimes, I look at those around me who don't even try, and they still get noticed more than me. Sure, I have my small group of friends that like my stuff, but a lot of the time when I upload a comic series, I want feedback. Or at least an acknowledgment that my story is being read. But since I'm not "popular", I don't get noticed as much. I know, I bring it on myself. I don't attend meetings, I don't read other peoples' stuff, and I'm probably a huge hypocrite. But it really hurts when I work hard on something only to have it be overshadowed by something that somebody else did that required little to no effort. Many times, I spend days working on a particular comic strip. How would you feel if you poured your soul and energy into something, only to have it be ignored by the general population? One day, I want to be a best selling novelist. I know that fanfiction is just a means of escape, but to me, it's how I hone my writing skills. Please have some compassion for those out there who are not being recognized.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not quitting. But I just feel like I'm being overshadowed.
Galactiweirdo out~

Sometimes we do a lot and put many efforts in making something done, but then the response we get may not that good.
Though, I believe it is just a matter of time. And according to my experience, the best way to gain more attentions on your work is by building up more social interactions. Not only in walfas work, but this concept can be used in various things in our life.
So take it easy, I'm sure you'll get more notices as long as your works are good. I have to admit that I really like the Pocket Eiki series! Look forward to more works from you! \(^v^)/

REally? I didn't think many people read that!

If you want it to be more popular, you have to get out there and get people interested >_>
That's the fastest way, but definitely not the easiest way for some.
Other than that, it just takes some time and it'll creep out there... eventually.

Maybe it's just the way I was raised, but I was always taught that a good story and plotline are a thousand times better thanย pandering to the common masses with the meme of the day.

....ten outa ten statement. Would never forget again.

This is partially the reason I'm not around the StationWagon as much as I used to be. Hopefully, if I manage to get my projects up before this month ends, this sentiment will be heard by more people. ^^

> Generic & mainstream
> Effortless joke purpose
> Whatever I make is well-known
This is how everything works in reality,
Cause it happens to me -most- of the time
How much do I care? Not even a single care
Cause I know that a "well-developed" "unique" story will be appreciated better than I mentioned above
It might be not being appreciated at first, but slowly the day will come, you just need to wait
A little note from me,
> Be patient and don't give up
> Do your best and put all of your effort into it
> Be proud of yourself for being unique
Sorry for intruding out of nowhere...

Ya know, I can kinda relate in a way. A couple years back, people wouldn't have given me the time of day, let alone read my comics. These days, even though I'm well-known member of the community, I sometimes wonder if my work will get noticed by the general public. Heck, I fear having all the work I've poured into making games like MajiKana be all for naught. But you know what? I press on anyways. It's often said that it's better to try than to not try at all. Even if you fail, even if you don't get noticed, you still tried the best you could given the circumstances.
But, if you're really bent on getting noticed by others, then maybe it would pay off to notice others? You say in your description that you rarely read others' comics. Everyone, no matter how popular, wants to get noticed, and if you notice them, it's possible that they just might notice you in return. I, for instance, almost always check out anyone who favorites or comments on my work, to see what they have to offer. It doesn't matter if your effort is as token as a favorite or as thought-out as a heart-warming comment, someone will notice you eventually, and might stop by to check out who you are.

You're right. It's always a good idea to give back in return.

This comic matches my sentiment, and is one of the reasons I don't buy into !Community Spirit!โขยฎยฉ
You're the right person to bring this problem up as well; you do good work , so your complaint can't be so easily dismissed with an ad hominem argument.

thank you very much. I'm glad you feel that way. :3

You're a talented individual. I like looking at and reading things you come up with. Like with Eiki, you make her adorable.
I would say, go for anything that comes to mind. If other people have negative or "unnatural" things about it, just know that you are in control of your stuff.

very true. The author controls the story.

I'm sorry you feel this way. At least I read your stuff. *hugs*

Believe me, Katie, your stories and Walfas stuff is some of the best out there, in my eyes. (Can't wait for the rest of Pocket Eiki!)
Does your stuff deserve more attention? Absolutely. But for every sad sap that just passes by and doesn't care about your work, there's another person who does care and is legitimately interested in the stuff you make. Instead of looking at the people who don't look back at you, pay more attention to those who do pay attention to you. Heck, I've been doing that since I got into making Walfas, and I'm pretty happy with where I am.
Stay frosty

Well i will read your Comics! Trust me.
Also i know how it feels, i make Video for Youtube and spend time for making them but really get nearly now views on them, newest Video got uploaded 2 days ago and only 8 views, others being uploaded one day and get over 100 views. I wanted to share then one here because it had walfas in it but they didn't accepted it....

Unfortunately, that's the way a lot of things are. Unless you're "in" with the right people, you don't get noticed as much.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yeah, i have there a struggle too, i'm from Germany but i know more People who speak english then german so i make some Video in german but nobody from other ways can understand it and when i post upload english Video then i don't get views from Germany and rarely from People of other ways.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Maybe you should start a German walfas club or something. That would be cool. Or like, a walfas club for people who don't have English as their first language.
