Oh, I don't know...participating in one of the rare actually meaningful conversations we are/were having?
CAN'T. TELL. This is the Internet, if you say something ambiguous whose interpretation would normally depend on how you're saying it, then to me it's just something ambiguous and it could mean any number of things.
I don't need feedback, I have livereaders for that. I just want to know I'm not writing this for no one and essentially wanking off on paper with words, because thus far, all the indications have been pointing towards exactly that.
Precisely. Propagating the thread by spamming pictures will only last as long as you keep spamming them. You post a picture, someone responds "I like/don't like", maybe they post a picture in response, the end. Meaningful/interesting conversations tend to last much longer, even if it is is "Who's your favorite Pokemon". (For the record, mine's Lucario, though I stopped keeping track of Pokemon around G2 and I only like Lucario because of Brawl and Mystery of Mew or whatever that movie's called).

I just assume based on the time in his timezone and what he usually does this time on a weekday. I pay far too much attention to what people do with their time.
Ah, okay. Well, I am definitely interested in reading it, based on what you've said about it. Remember to remind me when you finish the first arc, because I don't know otherwise.
I don't neccesarily care for "meaningful" conversations, I care for conversations that I can get involved in or enjoy reading, which almost always includes meaningful ones.

Thanks for replying. It does mean a lot to me. As you called pretty easily, I've never been a person for small-talk and I've usually attributed that to my aspergers. No one cares much for long thought out theories on things which is what I'm more or less interested it.
Most of what I said was meant to boil down to: You can't really make other people happy until you yourself know said happiness. I mean, how can you give what you don't have, right?
What's sort of funny is that I've been sitting on my comic for years now, and reiterated it multiple times as well. I've finally started it after feeling it wasn't good enough in both artistic or written merit, and while it is rather cumbersome to keep going while you only have a couple people who care to look at it, as long as I know I'm doing this for my sake, it'll be worth it. It's bound to touch one person in some way, which I've learned is good enough for me:
I remember when I lived in Scotland, I had my group of friends in high school that I hung out with at the library. At some point I noticed someone who always spent his time alone during lunch. I found out that he had a mental disability that had him occasionally lash out at people when provoked. Because of this no one wanted to hang out with him. I manned up one day to talk to him, and we actually had a lot of things in common. Sure, he almost punched me a few times, but hey, that was part of what I was getting into. Eventually he joined up with my other group of friends and we all got along at the library.
The last week before I was going to move back to the states (it was sudden news, at least to me and my friends), most of my friends came over to say goodbye. Sadly, Jimmy, which was his name, wasn't able to show up and say goodbye because he lived in another town. He did, though, send a letter. To this day I've never felt so heartfelt reading something, and wish I still had that letter. It was essentially a thank you letter for all I did for him. The times I stuck up for him when even my own friends talked down to him. I touched his life in a way that I haven't done for anyone else.
I look back on that now and think, "Well, who am I to demand that I touch more than just one life? I mean, I am only one person, and would the humble thing not be to simply show people my comic and have faith that it means something to someone, rather then leave myself in a disturbed state at the lack of conformation?". I know it can suck to not really know if what you've done has meant anything, but that's part of the absurdity in life. As humans, we're rather miniscule in the scope of the universe, or even just earth. What does that make of our contributions? And better yet, why should any of this defer us from chasing the things that matter most?
As I mentioned before, it's about taking responsibility for your own happiness. Currently, it sounds to me like you're laying that responsibility on your readers, and wishing for them to bring you that joy.
You know what I'm doing to help alienate this problem? I'll soon have a nice pinkie pie plush sitting on my desk to remind me of what it means to just be happy for happiness sake. I think just having that plush there will be a very nice motivator to keep going with my comic.
Alright, I need to get to sleep, have to be up in 3 or so hours for work. Thanks again for talking, it was nice. If you want to reply, do so in a PM. I'll send this in a PM if I don't see a response tomorrow, just, because why not. :P
