A few days ago, an anonymous person opened a special Twitter account, saying that the average person should know “the reality of Comic Market.”
This person participated in Comiket for the first time as an exhibition club, but he did not gain any joy at all. He only experienced pain. He believes that the official propaganda will only write positive opinions, and such negative opinions will be ignored, so they will be released in this way
He predicted that there would be “businesses who want to confess to Comiket” and attacked him. In the tweet integration, he also specially marked “to prohibit excessive criticism because it is a personal experience”
So, what happened to this person on Comiket? The answer is simple: his comrades, none of them sold
He blames indignantly. Generally speaking, isn’t it necessary to take care of the community that participated for the first time, and send a trust to buy one? However, there is no such care at all
He sent more than a dozen tweets in succession, slamming: Today’s Comiket is not the original Comiket. It can only be sold, only professional writers and “modify animations and comics into pornographic cartoons.” Comiket became an “unknown event selling porn cartoons.”
Not only that, he also forwarded a lot of tweets from other participants about Comiket. For example, Zhang Zhengji, an animator, has reported that his comrades have all sold out, thank you for your support. He said with sorrow: This person is professional, so it is sold out; I am not professional, so I have not sold it. this is the truth
And the general participants on Twitter on the photos of the company’s products and adult doujinshi purchased by him, also forwarded by him to testify to their own statements

After the person posted the tweet, he also created a post on the Togetter website. However, it seems that few people support his point of view, but rather critics. So he first deleted many comments against himself, and at the end, simply canceled the Twitter account and deleted the integrated posts
Aside from the more controversial words and deeds of this person, in fact, the association that participated in the same person exhibition for the first time will not sell, which is really common. Even today’s famous professional writers often have unfortunate experiences
The cartoonist Guangjiang Liwei, who is known for his works such as “Black Reef” and “Re:CREARTORS”, said that when he first participated in Comiket, he printed 50 original military uniforms and tried it in the past. Yes, they are all sold out. He was ecstasy, and the second time he printed 200 pieces to the venue, the result was a lot of inventory. This is already a memory 25 years ago.The anonymous person at the beginning of
Also said at the beginning that he waited until 12 o’clock at the venue, but no one really bought it, so he gave up and ran to see cosplay. However, perhaps because this tweet is not good for himself, he was quickly removed
Guangjiang made a suggestion for this: the newcomers to the exhibition will not be queued very early, so in fact, the afternoon is the highlight of the club. There is not much need to sigh for no one in the morning. Guangjiang himself also participated in Comiket for 6 years, only to know that he had to queue up early in the morning

Hirano, who created popular comics such as HELLSING and Drifting Samurai, took 20 comrades and only sold 5 books when they participated in Comiket for the first time
And the second time is even worse: he is co-authored with others, so the light is sold out. However, a friend who claimed to be the man, in the face of Hirano, said to him: “I don’t want the part you painted, so I will save that part.” Hirano listened, very depressed

Author of “The Cohabitation of Monsters”オカヤドI remembered that I had a doujinshi with my other 4 friends for the first time and got it on COMITIA. I printed 100 copies and sold 2 copies. The unsold book is still sleeping in the cabinet of his home

“Fleet Collection” fan cartoonsだろうWhen I first participated in Comiket, only two friends bought it. Two books. Even these two friends have criticized him for “seeing problems.”
In the next 6 years, だろうparticipated in various fan exhibitions and always sold them. 10 books. Despite this, he still did not give up and has been insisting on it to this day. Finally, at the end of C95, he sold all the works he brought
Persistence is power, this is the belief ofだろう. These hard work in the past, he is difficult to say, but always hope to tell who to listen to

Another “Fleet Collection” fan cartoonsシノComiket, like the one at the beginning, didn’t sell one. Someone turned over two pages, leaving a sentence that “I really can sell such a book.” He gave it to the next-door booth, and the other party made a “shit” and threw it directly into the garbage bag
But nowシノStill alive, there are already more than 30,000 The big V of the Twitter fan is immersing himself in the manuscript of the “Cannon Strike” on January 20th
In the comments, some fans recalled thatシノPast events: When he was disheartened and wanted to throw away the book he couldn’t sell, the staff of an exhibition saw it and accused him: “This is your own work, treat it well!”シノI also said that without this sentence, perhaps there is no one today

Although the chicken soup is warm, it doesn’t fill the stomach. There are also many writers who have taken the opportunity to share valuable suggestions
For example, when I participated in the same person exhibition for the first time, how many copies of the same person is better? “Oriental Project” fan cartoons hand heldいlisted a list:
- 30 departments: Security Policy. Even if you don’t sell it, you can easily bring it back
- 50: It is safer. Even if one is not sold, the following is omitted
- 100: It’s still safe. It’s a bit heavy to bring back
- 200 departments: Danger zone. It’s very hard to bring it back, but if you send it, you can still have it in a box
- 300 departments: High-risk zone. Unless you are quite confident, you should avoid it
- 1000 departments: You have to live. You are pretty

Of course, the “easy to bring back” here is just physical. As for the psychological lightness, it is another problem
同人作家抜け忍说, she saw many people in the derivative discussion recalling their first participation in Comiket and found that many people have debuted It was to go to Comiket’s super-large-scale exhibition, and I was scared to tremble: You are too bold. It is clear that there are special exhibitions of the same person and Sunshine Creation, which can accumulate experience value. Is this the legendary level 1 world?
抜けI feel that today’s doujins, with the diversification of works and needs, are no longer as strong as ever. Therefore, she hopes that everyone will not be afraid and will go out of their way
If you come up and challenge Comiket, you will be afraid, then she recommends you to participate in the special exhibition. Original works can also go to COMITIA, an original special exhibition. There must be an exhibition for you

The same person exhibition can not only sell the book, but also gain the valuable joy and money from the recognition
The same person photographer Cangqiao said that he learned a very important point in Comiket: the buyer does not care how hard your producers are
When Cangqiao is young and prosperous, I feel that it is not easy for me to get praise from others. But Comiket let him know that you don’t work hard and have nothing to do with people who buy things

And for the anonymous person at the beginning of the so-called “can only sell out only porn”, you Huang Man writer also sneered: Since you think porn is good to sell, you can draw a try
The cartoonist Kou Kiki said: If you try to paint a erotic lover, you will know these realities:
- Both need high calorie painting from start to finish
- No one can buy more than a certain amount of quality
- The horror that was sent to the venue but was asked to “stop issuing”
- Calm down and think “Why do I have to paint something 呶啾♥呶啾♥ ………” that leads to death
Recommend everyone to try it out
And pornography that achieves a certain quality or higher will be quickly uploaded and pirated, causing the enthusiasm for creation to disappear. What is the meaning of the number of downloads that are dozens of times as many as the total printing
