Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I thought the advice was "just write smut", is it "just write YA" now?
There goes my plan of writing Micro-Smut scenes and selling them for 99p self published. What have I been reading all this literature for as research?! I don't even like smut!
Romantasy exists to solve this problem
Is it like Greektasy, only a bit further west, or something else entirely?

Joke's on me, I don't like romantasy either. I like my fiction to be philosophy disguised as magic and spaceships.
Romance is what sells though, and I'm glad something sells to keep authors around writing my pensive wankery.
I did toy with the idea of writing the chapter long smut pieces I see around. Then decided I would have to devote more time than I want to devote to smut to do it right and not scam people.
